Home from Wisconsin

After a wonderful weekend I rolled into the house at about 6:30 this evening. hellbob was so filled with glee at seeing me that he offered to rub my feet and feed me bon-bons. Well, ok, maybe not that last part. But he was glad to see me.

A couple quick weekend highlights:

●The same convenient room as last year - the first one down the hall from the bear room.

●Feeling slightly embarrassed as I am checking into the room and I have to write down the name of the other person in the room. Had to admit to the old lady at the desk that I didn't know his last name...Luckily this was a platonic separate beds kind of thing or I would have to feel so ashamed of myself.

●The Roadkills prepared a fabulous taco bar.

●I sat in the hot tub with Monte, chebutykin, cajones, and moneygod. Monte was getting me all hot and bothered with talk of the good deals & rebates on the Canon Digital Rebel right now. Bastard! I want one & we just can't afford it.

●I learned a fabulous game from Nate called Lost Cities. It's a really fast 2 player card game. It involves some math, but no game can be perfect!

●I crashed relatively early Friday night & awoke wonderfully refreshed.

●a Squishy was cuddled!

●I was in pajamas approximately 2.5 minutes from the time I walked into the hotel

●I hopped on up to the casino for a little while on Saturday afternoon and walked out of there $40 ahead!

●My reading material over the weekend was Fray, the future slayer graphic novel by uberwriter Joss Whedon

●Other games learned over the weekend included Girl Genius: the Works and Lunch Money.

●Watching Perrin & Markiee trash talk each other while battling it out in Lunch Money is high entertainment!

●Also played a game called Salad Bowl that Eric invented. Kinda like a combo of Charades and Outburst.

●Nate (he's the one that introduced me to the joy of Killer Bunnies last year) had both the new expansions so the Killer Bunnies deck was HUGE!

●He also informed me that Southdale Games by James has two different limited edition cards that I must fetch. Oh yes, I must fetch them!

●I got to see photos of an actual honest to gosh brain (still in head, during surgery)

●Got to chat with lots of wonderful people including, but not limited to: chebutykin, cajones, moneygod, dddragonlady, 7thstranger, windelina, pied_piper70, alisgray, barda, cleo, lexinatrix, realsarah, geohard, michaellee, frozendragon, gingerpook, gunthar, eowynmn, and of course eldogo(the aforementioned guy whose last name I didn't know.

Do I have to go to work tomorrow????

I'm not actually sure that eldogo has a last name.

It seems he does

It came up in salad bowl at the dead dog. Hatle as it turns out.

Ha, ha, ha.

Actually, it doesn't come up much. My first name is unusual enough that it doesn't require clarification. That, and it isn't really pronounced the way it's spelled.

You mean it's pronounced Cal-vin, like the kid with the tiger? heeheehee.

Well you weren't alone - because I couldn't remember eowynmn's last name. And the room was under cleo's hyphenated name - which I didn' t know. So I thought I was actually homeless for awhile - until things got straightened out. I shouldn't be surprised that the weekend started on such an amusing note LOL

So the old lady could think we were having a threesome - or that I was just a ditz! LOL
