on many things

The ball was good, even if things kept getting surreal in a Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil way -- from the crepy awesome rundown 1930s hotel we stayed in to the steakknife in the back of the cab and the ridiculous Queen that wanted to talk to Edie about his additiction issues.

I also dropped a table on my foot, so I don't think there's going to be fencing this week.

In other news, I was some of the bad crazy all weekend, and I learned a few things from it -- I need to just be the organizaer less often. I get really stressed out when everything isn't perfect, and even when that everything is usually my fault I get mad at other people. I also tend to overcommitt everyone's schedule and want to do every second of everything.

Also, I do this thing where I don't get pissed off when it's at least relevant if not reasonable. So when I do finally get pissed off it's so long past the stage of relevance that it's just evil as opposed to ornery.

I coped very badly this wekend, and I am, to be frank, unsure of the reasons why, other than I'm just nuts. It was useful in the sense that it proved certain things to me, but I remain both embarassed and worried about it, as I was hurtful to people in the process.

But I think my guilt, which I was teased about considerably is getting boring to all, so that's that for this forum.

And yes, there will be adorable pictures soon.

good thing

Gluten-free croissants, pain au chocolat and raspberry biscuits have just been mail-ordered.

The funny part?

The bakery on the long list of things that are not allowed in the bakery for those with multiple food restrictions informs us that the croissants are free of lupine contamination.

Because wolves in my food is my biggest problem.

WTF?
