Just So I Don't Get Blogjacked

I'm going to post that I haven't done much the last couple of days. Some job hunting, tacos with the kids (and 5 others) and some knitting.

Now, That's Just Rude

I was going to post last night and decided to wait until today. I click over to my blog and, lo and behold -- I've been blogjacked! I should take her up on the offer and just let her continue to post for me, but I'm afraid of what she'll say ....

Had a blast this past weekend. Went with Duh & Happy to work a charity "Wild West" event to benefit the Center for Individual Development in San Bernardino. Happy runs the Wheel of Fortune, while Duh and I helped out in the saloon. I had worked one weekend last year, but due to a broken tooth - it wasn't as much fun as it could have been. This past weekend, though, was great. Saturday was kind of slow -- not many people were there, and we didn't have a lot of customers for either the saloon or the Wheel. Yesterday, though, there were a lot more people, the weather was a bit warmer, and they had the Chili Cook-off, so people were thirstier. We sold over $1200 in beer (at $4/per), and then we also had wine, sodas and water.

Everyone seemed to be in really good moods, too ... both the volunteers and the customers. I even had an "admirer" ... even after he found out that I have a full-grown son. It was flattering, if nothing else. And it was fun to flirt with all the cowboys ... But my favorite "scene" of the weekend was on Saturday, right near the end of the day. The stagecoach was approaching the saloon, and the driver was cradling his sleeping baby in his arms. Absolutely adorable. And of course, I didn't have the camera handy. So ... today's pictures are from Saturday ... the stagecoach, and 3 of the bartenders.

Blogjack!

You know, if SOMEone doesn't start keeping up with her blog, someone else just might have to take over & make posts for her. Just sayin'.

Worst. Blogger. Ever.

I have gotten so bad at updating this thing, I might as well just close it out and ignore it forever. Once again, I'll be skipping most of the time since my last post, and just start fresh from here. Well, I'll back-track a little bit ...

Saturday, as you know, was Halloween, and - as you may not know - Wednesday was Duh's birthday. She and Happy decided to have a small gathering of friends to celebrate these two events. I went over early to help clean up and prepare, which didn't take long. Duh was kind enough to let me wear the outfit I wore to the Ren Faire a while back, while she and Happy donned their "Captain and Chenille" outfits from Sis' Pirate Party. There were about 15 people there, and several were in costume. I think Sis and Rafe would have won a prize, had there been any ... they came as Gladys & Tyrone from Laugh-In. The pic isn't from Duh's party, because I really failed at taking pictures ...

Spent Sunday going through Duh's costume stuff to sort out what she and I will be wearing for Harvest Fair the next two weekends. We managed to come up with 4 outfits each, and only have to wash one shirt for re-use. I'm borrowing and/or buying the purse that Sis used for Halloween, so the only thing I don't have is shoes ... don't know what I'm going to do about shoes. I'd just go barefoot, but since I'll be working in the Saloon, I don't think that'll be appropriate.

Last night I was back at Duh's (yeah, I might as well just move in - it's been joked about) and BK came over to color my hair again. I couldn't find the color I wanted, but got one that turned out very similar to how the first coloring turned out. I had wanted a touch more red -- but I think this is ok.
