Hey, everyone!
First things first-- thanks very much to everyone who contributed to and participated in TORn's Founders Day Party! :)
And second, I'm subbing today, so go ahead and pick your food/drink/music/etc. and tell us about your past week and/or upcoming weekend! :)

Her hometown is "Bucklebury"! 
Hey, Evey! Got some hot coffee there? I'll take a tall glass of it, iced, with milk and sugar - something for a lovely sunny day! (So why am I indoors, at work... )
I feel so badly for everyone affected by the storms down in the South - and want to remind all that if you'd like to help, to contact your local Red Cross.

Something terribly British for this happy day.  Although I stayed at home and did various little odd chores while the TV was on - couldn't face the crowds in London! I did hear the flypast, although couldn't see it from my window.
Happy weekend (long long weekend, for us) everyone!

I was having trouble getting in earlier. 
It has been a busy (but good) week at work, and I'm looking forward to a quiet weekend.
I got "Aragorn's Quest" for the Wii, but I haven't tried it out yet. I may do that this weekend.
Otherwise, if it's not dumping rain or snow (both are in the forecast), I'm going to try to get out and do some walking this weekend. I'm falling short on my monthly average for my steps-per-day goal.

We've been out all day for an extra long hike, the birthday boy is now fast asleep, but there will be a nice tea of beef and gravy waiting for him when he wakes up!
I've been off work this week, which has been great. I have got to the point where I am so busy, I have to keep making lists to make sure I don't forget what needs doing. Happily, I haven't missed anything off the list yet! I had a couple of pretty big cake orders this week, including my first wedding cake, (eek!), so I'm glad they went without a hitch!
I have one more order to do for tomorrow, then I have a few days before going back to work on Tuesday. Hopefully I'll get a chance to catch up with ToRN, I even missed the Founders Day celebrations this year!
Happy weekend all!

A glass of champagne, please, in honor of Founder's Day, and today's wedding, and just because I like champagne! 
The Gaffer and I had a lovely evening out with friends last night, but we have nothing in particular planned for the weekend except our usual work-related tasks. (Mine is for income, his is volunteer.) We're putting together our next trek Down Under, for the Cruise to Middle-earth in November/December. Neither of us believe in doing things at the last minute no way, no how!
Happy weekend, Evey and all!

Do we walk in legends or on the green earth in the daylight?
A man may do both. For not we but those who come after will make the legends of our time. The green earth, say you? That is a mighty matter of legend, though you tread it under the light of day!

But we stopped off in a village for lunch, and had to walk past a street party to get there!

Nothing like seeing your efforts pay off. You can relax at the virtual Green Dragon and contemplate that you *have* done a good day's work, unlike Pippin
I hope your optimism keeps right on optimisting.

I tried posting right after Eventides opening post and kept getting the Internet Explorer error message saying there was no such website. Annoying! 
It is a cold and nasty day today. It was supposed to be cool, but sunny and what we got was cold and rainy. My sister said she saw on a weather show that Ohio has had 300 percent more rain than usual. I don't think the people in Ohio would be surprised at that. The usual small talk is how tired everyone is of rain.
I think hot chocolate (rum in OhioHobbit's) is in order on this chilly day.
I have been potting up my starts. Moving them from the starting trays to their own little pots. OhioHobbit has been doing spring cleaning in the flower beds -- removing last fall's leaves and as many weeds as he can find. Everything is blooming. I have tons of blossoms on my nectarine tree and my peach tree. There is only one apple blossom, so I hope it gets fertilized! I wish it would get warm!
The hummingbirds have shown up. They are here about 3 weeks earlier than they used to come. We have the feeders up, so I hope they are getting enough to eat.
We were distressed to hear about all the tornado damage and deaths in the southern part of the country. Nothing can replace the lives lost and the memories lost in the destruction of their homes, but we hope they can get everything cleaned up and rebuilt in good order.
Have a good weekend, everyone, and a better week next week.

Well, there's a Wii game called "Aragorn's Quest."
[In reply to]

And according to Wikipedia, it's the same game as the Nintendo DS and Playstation versions. I haven't played any of them before, so I don't know anything about them. (I just got it because it had Aragorn in the title, LOL!)
I forget how the cover phrases it, but it sounds like the Wii version, at least, requires you to move around a bit, so maybe it'll be a good workout. :)

Applied for yet another couple jobs. I seem to find them easily enough-- getting to the interview stage is another hurdle, and then getting hired is one that I consistently fail at. Rather annoying, to say the least. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
This weekend I'll be working on several projects that will be due soon for my finals. The semester is almost over! Crazy.
And, finally, I'm submitting my application to study abroad today. Very excited.
Have a good weekend.
