Wondercon Prep for a Predicted Wet Weekend

I cleaned the house last night, in anticipation of WonderCon. Though, I am not the neatest person (by any measure), I just can’t stand to leave for vacation with a messy house. Also, it’s gross.

Mark and I are both working every single day until we leave Friday morning, so last night was really the best chance I had to do some serious cleaning. I recently cleaned out the closet in our bedroom, in an attempt to create a little more room for organization of clothing and whatnot, but I never finished, so there was stuff strewn all over the bedroom.

I still need to wash all of the laundry, and put away about half a basket of clean clothes. I also need to vacuum and mop the kitchen floor, but I might make Mark do that part. :)

For now, I am packing what geeky clean clothing I have.

Though, a quick glance at the weather forecast left my hopes a bit dashed.

While I am totally willing to wear my white thermal under my awesome nerdy shirts, some of the shirts won’t look good like that. Case and point, my v-neck Transformers tee will probably look silly with a long shirt underneath.

I mean, it’s fine. I’ll deal. I just wish it wasn’t going to be both cold AND wet.

We will be indoors for a lot of the Con, but staying at a hotel 1.8 miles away, I really didn’t want to have to drive to the convention center because parking fees are always exorbitant. I guess it will just be wet waits at the bus stop.

Still sorting through the schedule of events for the weekend, and still (of course) have no idea what I want to attend, though I do think I want to sneak in a few games of Magic: The Gathering, even though I am rusty as all hell. I don’t think I have really played in 13 years. LOL.

But we did pick up decks at Comic-Con last July, so why not?

My deck is built (Black and Blue) …

Mark never made his. I bought him the Red and Green because it has lots of creatures. Mark loves creatures. So that is his task for the week. Build Magic Deck.

Well, I have to get ready for work now. I despise Sunday PM shifts, but since I don’t normally work Sundays and am leaving for vacation in a few days, I needed the extra cash. I had to take the first shift offered to me, or risk not getting any shift at all. Lets cross our fingers for a big money night. :)

Until next time! Oh, wait…

4 more days until WonderCon (If you don’t count today, which I don’t)!

The Wondercon Countdown Begins

24 days…:)

I booked our hotel for my birthday trip to WonderCon tonight!

I used priceline, for the second time in my life. It was still a bit scary despite my good luck the first time (see below), but I saved about 30 bucks off the list price and we are only about 2 miles away from the Convention Center which is not too shabby. The hotel website also says they have a shuttle, so I’m hoping we won’t have to drive anywhere. A BIG plus.

As of now, it’s Mark and I, and our good friends Nate and Kara making the incredible journey (okay, it’s super close but still). I owe you a better WonderCon post, but I am dead tired after working two jobs today, and I open at 9am tomorrow. I like opening, but I have to come straight home after work tomorrow and pack and clean the house.

Mark and Kara (Halloween 2011)

Me and Nate (or is it Amy Pond and The Doctor?)

I don’t think I have mentioned it, but it is my FOUR year anniversary with Mark on Friday, so Thursday we are taking off for a little 36 hour mini break in Santa Babara. We are staying at a cute little hotel we got for 50 bucks on priceline…way below the price of the area. Neither of us have been, and it should be a nice bit of time away together.

Who is coming to Wondercon? Are you as excited as we are!?
