Mixed day...
Jul. 4th, 2007 09:20 pmFirst, I'm home and damned glad to be home. Had some trivial but truly annoying car trouble, first a screeching beltish noise that scared the hell outa me on my way into Marshfield. Then today after the parade, the front passenger side window mechanism broke so that the window cannot be raised. Really annoying and meant that I couldn't stop anywhere 'cause I couldn't lock up the car with all my queen stuff in it. So sorry, Adrienne....we couldn't find your folks' house and I had to head on towards home. The drive home was weird with all the breeze from the window and the brief rainshower had me cussing.
The parade itself was fun; odd that the Marshfield parade is a lot bigger than the Springfield one seems to be. Still get people looking at us like, "WTF?" but more folk saying, "Oh, cool" or "It's the Queeen!" or even more often, "Oh, look at the horses!" as if there's some shortage of 'em in the parade!
Anyway, I'm home to umpty-dozen things that need to be done here and think I left my to-do completion list in Springfield, dammit. Still love my costume; cool and light-weight. I'm only aware of being hot when people say, "Aren't you hot in that?" I'm so tempted to do a "here's your sign" reply.
Lastly, I reallyreallyreally hate the noise of fireworks being set off all around the place. May be fun to lots of folk but it sets my nerve on edge and then further pisses me off because its similar to my mother's nervous reaction and I don't like being that sensitive. But dammit, noise pollution is noise pollution.
And if you're planning on coming to visit White Hart, you only have ONE more weekend to do so. If everybody who said they were coming shows up, we'll have a banner weekend. We truly need one after being screwed over by the weather last weekend.
Ritual tonight and then taking my cranky arse off to bed. Bah humbug....
