Yesterday was totally awesome! :-D
There was a lady at the end of Brunch who came over to our table and said "You people have the most interesting conversations. What group are you?"
Anyway, it turns out she's a non-Pagan Goddess Woman, and she's going to come by and join us one of these weeks. :-)
So hurrah! :-D
Also: the get-together I had last night? Phenomenal. :-D Other than the bit where I showed up late to my own shindig (doesn't that just figure), I had a wonderful time and, I think, everyone else had a wonderful time, too. :-)
There were people who came, who I hadn't expected to be able to come, and people who came who I hadn't seen in an *age*, and everyone seemed to get along really well. And someone developed a cruuuuuuuuush. ;-) (Hehehe. I am *so* amused by this. It just makes me grin. And/or smirk. ;-)
Hehehe. :-)
Anyway, it went really well, and my husband was actually able to make it out(!!!) which, given the exhausting teaching job he had this weekend, I wasn't sure he'd be up for.
But yesterday went well, and he had enough energy to not only come out, but to (thank goodness!) show up early and greet/meet people when they came in. :-D
I must say, I was also tickled pink by:
1) Mike arguing over my bill with my husband (who he didn't know was my husband - it's funny. I talk about Paul all the time, but I don't usually refer to him by name, just by Roll) It was very funny in the same way that watching my dad argue over the bill with [insert friend-of-the-family here] when said friend-of-the-family has taken us all out for dinner.
I was quite delighted. :-)
2) The fact that I got lifted up so many times in the last two days that, uh... I think I actually pulled a muscle. Okay, so I'm not so tickled about the muscle-pulling, but the lifting up is fantastic. :-D (I seriously become six years old and giggle my head off because "I'm flying, I'm flying!!" It's kind of like feeling like a princess, y'know?)
Anyway, so that was awesome. :-)
and that is what I'm grateful about. :-)
I've decided that I must procure a bottle of wine for libations. :-) (To the LCBO, after work!)
In other, novel-related news: I'm kinda writing it in two different times. Like, half of it is done in memory and dream, and the other half is done in the present and awake.
I want to inter-mingle these two story-lines, so that as my protagonist falls apart in the present, the reader is also learning the story of the root of her falling-apart-ness at the same time.
I am, I confess, not totally sure how to do this.
Barbara Kingsolver did it - or something like it - in The Poisonwood Bible, but I'm not sure I can do it as well.
... I can give it a try, though. :-D
Wish me luck! :-D
