Renaissance

We went to Ren fest this weekend. I love having a man that is as into playing dress up as me. It makes things fun! Allie, Jay and I went to Renaissance Festival in Magnolia on Sunday. We went down to Houston Saturday night and spent the evening playing Rock Band 2 with two fellow veterinarians, Zoo Shokrollahi and Chrissy Minton. Chrissy is moving to California soon so it was a pleasure to get to see her.

Sunday we woke up rather early, having gone to bed at 2am anything is early, and traveled to the fair.

We arrived at 11am and snuck my secret prop into the fair.....

Yes, She is a live cat, though many people throughout the day thought she was an INCREDIBLE puppet. Many years ago, it was allowed to bring any and all pets into the fair. Over the past few years, that rule, as many others, has changed. Up till a couple years ago it was legal to bring small pets that wouldn't touch the ground, but I know now, that that rule has changed.

I only know because the man at the exit gate was flabergasted that I made it around the entire park without getting kicked out!

Hehehe.... She was out in the open for all to see.... Once we got past the entrance that is.

But she was ooed and awed over. Got pet many many times. And generally enjoyed the sights... I means smells and sounds of the Fair. She rode around on my arm all day without any fuss. Such a great cat!

We all had a great time too. Traveling adventurers/woods people. I made all the outfits in the two weeks leading up to Ren. They fit well and minus a few fabric flaws they looked good.

I even wore my shirt to dinner at The Cheesecake Factory in the Woodlands and got a compliment on how cool it looked. Thank you Thank you.

Maybe I should give up vet med and go into designing....

Thanksgiving is coming soon, and I am greatly looking forward to seeing my brother. He has been in Arizona and I miss him.

I'm also researching good vacation spots for an intimate getaway next fall.... Something fun, adventurous, in another country, but not TOO expensive. Jason has never been out of the country, so we want to make it memorable. If you have any ideas let me know! On the research board so far: Scuba diving and Rain Forest hiking in Costa Rica, Snow Skiing in Argentina, Beach Combing in Peru...

Some new pics of Luna

So Luna is doing well. Still working on her training and haven't ridden her yet. I plan to do some ground driving with her this weekend and see where we are at with our basic commands, like woa. But she did get her first bath with me. Handled it like a pro. She was all shiny! I posted some before and after pics. Not as much dirt as when she first got here, but she's a beautiful shade of black and no longer has the parasite belly. She shows ribs, but we are working on that.

Beautiful floating trot!
