We Now Return You to Your Regular Schedualled Programming

I'm back!

This time last week, I was not convinced that I had survived the bedlam that is COMICON. Boy oh boy, it's one thing to troop at a con but entirely different when you are "hosting" ... It doesn't help that we are always determined to outdo ourselves too

*sighs*

Of course after about 2 weeks of non-stop insanity ... I crashed & burnt last week. The fibro started to fight back & laid me low ... 2 days chained to my bed & not in a good way either!

This past weekend was our "Victoria Day" long weekend (equivalent to Memorial Day) .. Which was well timed as I could fully recuperate at my beloved lake! It was a chilly weekend but at least it didn't snow & was an excellent way to recharge my batteries.

I am finding it a tad bit difficult to get back into blogging. I want to blog. I have alot to say. But I can't seem to find the time. I blame my Sir Wolf. *giggles* He takes up a lot of my time .. between kik & skype.

 No I am NOT complaining. I am LOVING it. Every minute of it!!!!!

...... I just haven't found the time to write about  it! ;)

Getting my Geek on!

I had a fantastic day yesterday. The best day since my Dom & I ended it.

I totally GEEKED OUT. It was a big big day. I am totally in COSPLAY and I belong to an organization that dresses up for charity (and we love it).

We started at my favourite Comic Book Shoppe, entertaining the masses waiting in line for International Free Comic Book Day. I figure there were about 200 people waiting in line for their free comic books. Some were in line for at least 2 hours before the shop opened at 10am .. pretty hardcore. But the weather was beautiful & it's always fun to interact with those waiting in line as well as passers by.

We spent 2 hours there then it was off to a local elementary school to "troop" at their school fun fair .. helping to raise money so they can buy a new play structure for the kids. By the looks of things we raised alot of money getting photos taken with the fans & letting them "shoot a trooper" with nerf guns.

Finally after a couple hours there it was off to the Chapters (Canada's Barnes & Noble) to celebrate MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU! And dam .. we were MOBBED!!! There were sooooo many people there. So much fun.

It was so good to get out of my head for awhile & get back to doing something I truly love! But boy I was POOPED afterwards!!! :D

Some of the gang after a very busy day! (I took the photo)
