Just came back from spending the weekend at the Kalahari Resort in Sandusky, OH. Wow - what fun that was! My husband and I (wow, that's weird to say still) planned to spend most of the time there at Colossalcon and the waterpark but ended up all over Sandusky with our friend John who is such an avid traveller that he wanted nothing more than to go to every single thing he could there. It was pretty fun over all - we got to the resort and had the room at the furthest hall on the uppermostest floor you can imagine - but it overlooked the giraffes and camels there at the resort, so that was pretty cool. Only problem was the first night our neighbors had an obnoxious 1am-3am party and booming music and we had to call the front desk to get them to stop. Otherwise it was a pretty nice room.

Spent only about two-three hours at Colossalcon itself, there was just too much other things to do than sit inside a window-less room listening to anime or an otaku talk about his fandom. Okay...there were probably a lot of people having fun doing that, but why do that when you can hang out at a huge wave pool? I think Mike and I have decided to go back next year but to make more of a vacation out of it...and I think I've decided I'd rather not share the hotel room (although I'm sure he'd love to share it with more people to pay even less than we did this year...oi vey - will I never get a honeymoon?)

I'm just glad I have this week to relax after the weekend. Although I'm off to Indiana on Friday to go visit my Aunt who's been in and out of the hospital this winter/spring and wasn't even able to come to my wedding *teardrop* - Mike's never met her so we really need to go.

Ooooh - and on a different note here, I got to see some of the pages of Dwellin's new doujinshi she's working on - what a great birthday gift! Hee hee! It's not really for me or anything, but the topic is appropriate and it's pretty cool getting to see new drawings no one else has yet!!

Speaking of drawings...I might get off my lazy butt this weekend and get something new up. That Kubichin drawing I did got the response "Nice, I like it." But little else from the guy I drew it for... forget that - I don't do comissions without money beforehand from now on!! Not unless it's a dear friend of mine. Heck...speaking of which - if anyone has a request of me, I might have time to work on something so feel free to drop me a line with suggestions. I've been under the impression that people are afraid of asking me to draw stuff so if you'd like to see something in particular, drop me a line. Yes, I'm busy and can't always get to stuff, but if I get an idea rolling around in my head it might actually come to fruition faster. *smiles*

Hope everyone else is having a good summer so far - guess I'm going to get off here and go do something 'birthday like'. ^_^
