Leisurely packing.

[valis2]

I don't think I've ever packed for a show/trip like this before. I mean, seriously, I've been stretching it out all week. I've gotten ready rather leisurely instead of getting ready franticly. I have signs, I've prepped merchandise, I am up to date on eBay, I've listed new eBay store stuff and Etsy stuff, and I've printed out stuff and made business cards, and wow. Seriously. What a nice, relaxing prep this has been. I really should start doing this with every trip.

Of course, it's impossible. The only reason this worked out like this is because of the huge change in plans--leaving Saturday instead of Tuesday--and the very next trip I'll be right back to normal, procrastinating like mad.

Actual conversation with Husband that just occurred:

Me: Listen to this line I just read in a LotR fanfic: As [Legolas] walked he wondered again what he was doing here. He worried at what darkness he'd brought with him, and why no one had yet told him of what Galadriel had seen in her shinning mirror.
Husband: Seriously? With two n's?
Me [pretending to be Galadriel]: "My shinny mirror shows you many things...shins that once were..."
Husband [also pretending to be Galadriel]: "...and shins that may yet come to pass..."

You're so lucky to have someone to share these things with on the spot. So much fun.:)

I love it so much. I wish I could remember one tenth of the insane stuff we say to each other--yesterday I was literally howling with laughter on the floor while we watched an episode of Knight Rider. But now I can't remember anything we said. :(

And I love Knight Rider! I wish you could remember, I'd love to hear it.:)

Sadly enough, neither of us remembers anything except that we nicknamed the poor little girl guest star "Sassy Princess."

Husband is quite goofy, just like me, and we get along pretty well. *grins*

I'll be back Thursday--short trip for me--and I totally look forward to new Grant angst!

Perhaps it refers to the Classic Simpsons riff on "The Shining," known as "The Shinning"?

That would call for an entirely different reading.

Perhaps a better one?

Ooh, and the Mirror? Redrum, redrum, redrum!

OMG ARE YOU SERIOUS? Because Husband was already shouting, "Shin, laddie, shin like you've never shinned before!"

hhahahahaha!!

LOL @ your exchanges with Mr Valis. You're obviously so in tune!

I laughed so hard. It was even more obvious because there weren't that many other typos in the piece, so it really stood out. lol!

And thanks, I hope it goes well too!

hee! Yes, we have so much fun together. He's a big goof, just like me. ;)

See, that's what I was thinking of! "I'll use my...shinnin'..." That was the most awesome ToH ever, possibly due to the fact that _____ (cut for spoilers?) gets _____d in the back in all three stories, regardless of whether or not a(n) ____ has any place at all in the other two scenarios.

Bwahaha! Shinning. ;D
