and I'll be in a field in the middle of nowhere! yet another reason the Washington State Renaissance Fantasy Faire (known to those who work there as Gig Harbor) is my favorite event of the year. (and we definitely won't be having the other kind of showers this weekend, though maybe next weekend. one never knows, around here.) we have shower-watching groups every year.

Yep, we're packing up the back of my truck with pillows, blankets and frosty beverages and heading into to the country Sat night (the weekend after this :P ). Can't wait.
