Weekend #2

Thursday, July 17, 2008, 8:40 AM [General]

Well, I am one of the LOSERS who missed Saturday due to the weather forecast. I went Sunday, though, and 'twas GLORIOUS. Never seen better weather at Bristol! I caught Wit of Will (Scottish Play) and Bounding Main's 5:30 show, and enjoyed both thoroughly. It was especially fun to see Bounding Main, as one of the performers went to high school with me and summer camp with my hubby. The poor fellow had no voice, but his way of compensating (invilving a gag and chalkboards) enhanced the comedic aspect of the show greatly. I also spent time with my brother-in-law, met visiting Wenches from Ohio, and hung out with good friends. Huzzah!

Oh, I posted a couple new pics, too. Lookit mah belleh!!!

The weather was glorious, and it was fantastic to see everyone!! The first day was a bit nerve-wracking garb-wise...being pregnant makes wearing a belt kinda difficult, and I didn't know where to hang things! i also felt, well, kinda moosey, especially compared to last year. But I figured out the garb issues and had a great time. I'm definitely going to have to take it easier this year, but I plan to be at Bristol all I possibly can.

BTW, I am due to have a baby boy November 2! =-)
