Wheeeeeeeeeee--ow.
Jun. 19th, 2012 03:21 pmSpent the afternoon at -- if their propaganda is to be believed -- one of the ten largest water parks in the U.S. Took both my sons, and my knitting, and could not find a place to park to save my life. Turns out this was also Girl Scout Day. Soooooo many little people, in pigtails and screaming at the tops of their very healthy lungs. Oh, my head.
I am sunburned. But only on my right side! Apparently my hair in a braid being draped down one shoulder was sufficient to partially preserve my pasty white chest. ...The other half is a bright, angry red, obviously if I'm stupid enough to forget to use sunscreen the next time, I should just put my hair in *two* braids and pretend to be Pippi.
The water park was fun, mostly. I'm not fond of the rides, though the little ones loved 'em, so I sat in the (not dense enough) shade while they queued. (My sons are eleven and twelve, they stayed together, one's taller than me, I'm not a horrible parent, really.) I worked on my knitting. Pro: a LOT of people complimented me on my work, but they almost had to see it I was sitting on the concrete sidewalk and had to be stepped around. (Chairs were for food patrons only, apparently.) Con: I had to pay an average of fifty dollars for the privilege to sit there and do a couple hours of work with my yarn.
I get home, aloe vera up, and happily discover that the AO3 is better! Still not perfect, but better! I highly encourage everyone to consider donations to the OTW, if you're like me and use it daily for your fannish addictions. You can do that here.
How has everyone been? I MISSED YOU ALL. What's new?
