Good things

[carynb]

There have been some pretty good things going on this week, after all, so I think it might be time to document them. *g*

• Dinner not once, but twice with mycrazyhair in the space of a single week. I think I'm gonna like her living here.



• I appear to finally have developed a colour sense. Looking at decorating things (paint chips and rugs), I came up with two separate colour combinations that mycrazyhair agreed with. As someone who's been known to make colour combinations that left friends shuddering (ask angelfire1979 about my choices for wearing with turquoise sometime), this was quite an accomplishment for me.



• I still have no definite place to live, but I have a very strong possible yes. I'm likely to take an apartment in that building, anyway - it just might not be the exact one I want. The one I may end up with is a little lacking is closet space, but I'll figure a way around that if I have to. The price is right, and I loved living in that building, the last time around.

In other news, I'm still trying to decide whether or not I'm going to Ad Astra next month. I've booked a hotel room, but I might need that weekend to organize & pack. However, the mailing I received from them last night promised coffee, chocolate, and scotch tastings, and I think those are tipping the balance in favour of a "yes". *g*

Having a place to live (or even just a prospective place) is a good thing indeed. :)

I'm also trying to decide about Ad Astra. I went to the scotch and chocolate tastings last year, and they rocked uberly. And a coffee tasting? That sounds too good to be true, especially if it happened right after the chocolate tasting, and there were leftovers to enjoy with the hot black caffeinated goodness...

You should totally come to Ad Astra. I can help you pack during the week. Heck, I've only allocated three weekend days to packing, and I'm going to be done in time. No way can it possibly take you nearly as long to pack your place as it's taking me to organize and pack my house.

So how do we sign up for the chocolate and scotch tastings? Are we supposed to mail something ahead of time?

If I remember correctly, the coffee and chocolate tasting are actually in the other order, with the coffee tasting on Sunday morning, and the chocolate tasting early Sunday afternoon. *g*

I missed the tastings last year, sicne I was only around for Friday night and Saturday day. I'd kinda like to go, I think.

According to the flyer, tickets are available at the door, and are limited. I assume that means at registration, and not at the tasting itself, but I could be wrong.

[mycrazyhair.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. I guess that means I'd better get to registration early. Because those were two of the best things about last year's Ad Astra.

[corbet.livejournal.com]

Can I tag along too? I'm thinking of hitting all three, honestly. :)

No champagne tasting this year? [pout]

[dagibbs.livejournal.com]

I'll be at Ad Astra! It will be a chance to visit with me! What more could you want in terms of encouragement to go? :)

[mycrazyhair.livejournal.com]

Sounds like fun!

Hmmm. Well, we could always arrange our own champagne-tasting.

There is a beer tasting as well, but I think that's it. I could be wrong, though - I only really remember the ones I'm actually interested in attending, after all. *g*

I'll probably be going to all three, if you're looking for company. I doubt we'll see mycrazyhair at the coffee tasting, though.

[carynb.livejournal.com]

You're right! Of course I'll be there. And, I'll possibly even have books and small household appliances to unload on unsuspecting victims give away.

Hey I am having another scotch and soda party the Friday night of Ad Astra so you have another reason to come!

[dagibbs.livejournal.com]

I knew that I'd be a convincing argument! And stuff... I like stuff... I happily take away stuff, even taking it out of your city far away. :)

I mentioned the books thing to ragnhildr last night, and that I might be driving down with foms and con_girl if works doesn't interfere, and that on the way back, if you hadn't disposed of your books, that they might lose their ride home to books. We both figured they'd understand that. :)

I have but one word...***SHUDDER***

But I love you anyways - plus I inherit some lovely red shirts this way!! **grin**

really? You're right, yet another reason to go to the con. *g*

[lordzowy.livejournal.com]

Like you needed another reason to go to a Con.

[lordzowy.livejournal.com]

Beer tasting too! is this a Sci-Fi Con or a drinking festival?

Is this a Sci-Fi Con or a drinking festival?

There's a difference? *g*

[carynb.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I thought you might remember that incident with horror. *g*
