Vacation over... :-(

Oh my what a weekend this was! I stepped well out of my comfortable boundaries for some fun in the sun. First I posed for a beefcake calendar shoot. The nice photographer lady took many... many... many pictures in various poses and various scenarios. I was wearing a purple sarong and wished I would have thought to wear my kilt instead. Oh well, hindsight is 20/20.
Then I gave in and competed in the Bardic Competition for the first ever Wellspring Bardic Chair. I gave it my best but I didn't quite have the necessary oomph to win. My storytelling skills are a bit lacking, but I was strong in the songcraft. We decided that the competition needs a score for popular vote. The judges have their opinion, but I think the people should have as much say in the judging as they do in the Mead competition.
It was a lot of fun and I intend to try again next year. I believe, as long as I am the Grove's Chief Bard, it is my duty to keep defending the Grove's honor!

So, I am continuing the P90X as I am really liking the results I am still getting. I would love to be losing more weight, but my jeans fit nicely and I am getting closer and closer to the size 30 jean that wins me my suede pants!

Later!
