maevebranIt started thursday when ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
earcmacfithil and I had dinner with my grandparents. Always an interesting time.
Friday isearcmacfithil's day off (he works 4 ten hour days) so he went to the SCA demo with me. (I had stayed up late Thursday to make a wool shawl lined with flannel and I'm glad I did as it was more than a little chilly while watching the fighters do there thing.
Friday nightearcmacfithil, me, my parents, and my brother and sister in law went to the Michael W. Smith "It's A Wonderful Christmas" concert. (I love Smitty. Have since Jr. High and the Go West Young Man album.) There was a 65 piece orchestra so that and the fact it was in a church made it this wierd thing in between a rock concert and a symphony preformance. (Seriously when he sings "Friends" at a concert how do you not stand and sway with everyone around you while singing along? I tried and my mom "shushed" me. She's been to just as many Smitty concetrts as I and has participated in the "Friends" singalong before.) All in all I was bouncing in my seat- litterally just ask earcmacfithil. Love the new album, "It's a Wonderful Christmas". Smitty admitted that the first couple songs were not from a movie but he might have had the music from the movie in his head when he wrote the songs. (He said John Williams is a big musical influence and the songs sound moree than a wee bit like something out of "The Prisoner of Azkabaan")
Saturday we went to the barony of Stromgard's Yule. For the second saturday in a row I got to dance withearcmacfithil. That always makes me happy.
Sunday was the Shire of Mountain Edge's business meeting and it only lasted 25 minutes. Then we went and saw my Mother in law so she could take the gifties for her side of the family when she goes done to the Bay area.
Monday night I was atjedibuttercup's to watch the 6th Sharpe movie. (Shrape's Gold) Let me just say WTF? Why is there a story with Aztec Gold and heathens who faly their sacrifices in the middle of the Napoleonic War? I thought this was a 19th century rommance/adventure not an Indiana Jones movie. We also watched the last instalment to Tin Man and Slings & Arrows episode 3.6 "The Promised End." It was the usual fun to snark with someone who gets all the wierd refferences. (Seriously, "It's what I DO.")
How are all of you?
