Nice weekend. Yup - nice.

It started off by blowing off studying and going to see "Hellboy" with a group of people.  Fun.  Alas, nearly everyone else went drinking afterwards, but my horrid body clock and the fact that I can't really drink right now made it an unsavory idea for me.  So I drove home and dropped off another person on the way...

Saturday was also nice...got laundry done, a little studying, catalogued MKA's books that are in my house, reorganized a bit so rit supplies are where I actually WANT them to be.  All this followed by an evening of contra dancing at Springstep to benefit Great Meadow Morris and Sword - a teenage team that will be performing in the UK this summer.  They'll do great.

Problem at contra, though.  Most of the time, people switch partners from dance to dance.  So, that's what [livejournal.com profile] meadmaker and I did.  However, most of the folks danced with the same partner for each dance.  So, I found myself sitting out a bit when I would have liked to be dancing.  It started to hit me like the time I went swing dancing and nobody would dance with me (I asked and got "no's" - made me feel about 2 inches tall).  I know that it wasn't personal this time, but I had to fight back tears a few times.

Sunday was productive.  Sort of.  I transcribed the list of books to my computer.  Had a class.  Wrote a lot.  Slept a bit more than usual.  Yeah, Sunday was nice.

you cataloged the books? you rock!

and, MKA did have, and i now have (and, as far as i'm concerned, you may have) the orange herbal. she said she wanted the white one sent to her at some point. maybe she forgot about the orange? whaddya think? you wanna hang onto both to send at some point? i also have a short stack of books to send someday, per her instructions.

reminds me...

have you heard at all from MKA? any news of how she's doing?

Same partners at contra?

That's...odd, not to mention Not The Contra Way. It's also odd that there were enough men that there were actually women sitting out...though if this will happen in any area, it will happen around here.

I'm sorry you ended up sitting out!
