More about the mini-moot

[dreamflower]

the_arc5 showed up just a few minutes after 12. It was so fun to see her! We all lunched on hot dogs and baked beans, and then the DH went outside to do some yard work, and Ashlee and I hunkered over the computer and looked at vids and talked about fandom. Then of course, we talked of hobbits, hobbits and more hobbits!

I checked the fit of the Hogwarts robe I'm making her--it's at the pin-basted stage, and I wanted to make sure I didn't need to make any adjustments in the size before I start serging the seams.

Then I went to cook supper. She kept me company and helped out, as I fixed roast chicken, baked potatoes, cauliflower, salad, and "Missus Maggot's Mushrooms".

After supper, we went in the sewing room, and she taped me up so I can have a new Duct Tape Dummy. It's a time consuming activity, but it didn't seem to take all that long, as we talked about our favorite fics.

She finally had to leave around nine-ish, as she has to teach today, and also because of the time change. It was so fun to have her here again!

What a great visit. :D

It *was*! You know, I was talking to one of my co-workers from the store--I had run in to pick up a few things I needed that morning before she arrived, and I told him I was having company coming. He asked who? and I told him a friend I'd met on the internet.

He seemed shocked. He said "wasn't I afraid to meet people like that?" I told him "no", I'd met loads of lovely friends that way, and never had a problem!

*shakes head* It never occurs to me to "worry" about meeting one of my hobbity friends! I suppose it should, but I'm not afraid at all.
