Happy Beltane

To my friends who celebrate. Mine was all make a test, go to a meeting then run to Athens to hang with my nano friends. I like hanging with these guys. They're creative, they're LARPers and more than one is pagan and one is the pastor of her church and yet we all work together. I was SO looking forward to eating at Ali Baba's Buggy but the damn thing wasn't open and I had to eat at a pay by the pound chinese buffet of disappointment.

Still it was nice to just take a few hours off, and talk about something other than school. That's hard sometimes when most of your friends are from work, all you talk about IS work. Every time I leave these guys I wish I could afford to live closer but it's the most expensive place down here not to mention the gas. Sigh.

However, I had no time to worry about that tonight, I had to drive home in a hellacious storm. WOW. I didn't know it could lightning that frequently. It was downpouring. Warning sirens going off and I can't stop and stay somewhere since there IS nowhere out in the middle of the friggin' woods. Also I had my wallet out to talk to a credit card company. GUess which dimwit didn't put her wallet back. Yeah drove 100 miles round trip with no license. Whee. Half way home the downpour stopped going to a mild rain and fog. Special.

Trading articles/stories with one of the ladies in the group (she and I are the elders of the group). I'm looking forward to her absinthe article. I want to get a bottle but it is so expensive.

Pretty dragons.

Happy Beltane (a day late) to you, as well.

I'm glad you had a decent time and got home safely. Oy about leaving your wallet at home.

I'm thinking, What about money for food/parking/whatever? But I guess you had some squirreled away in your purse, like you usually do.

Pay by the pound? Egads. I didn't even realize it was Beltane. I was home, reading about Black-Jewish relations.

Glad you got to hang with people outside of work. I can completely understand how that is fun for you.

And even more glad than that that you got home safe in that storm!

*clickies*

And I have never heard of a town named "Athens" that wasn't artsy and where the cool people hang.

I was so bummed out last week that I didn't even celebrate Beltane. :-(

I'm connecting at a coffee shop right now.
