Q the Cat

So very sorry about this loss for you and your family. Take care.

We're having a costume contest and an 'archery' contest. The archery will consist of either a bb gun shooting at a target or a nerf bow and arrow shooting at a target. The targets will be Joffrey and Ramsay. So fun, except I hope my neighbors don't get too upset with us! Dinner is more potluck - so not too much stress on me, since there are so many coming.

I wish you lived closer so you could join us! For drinks, we'll have beer and wine and a special bottle of mead. I'm also making a non-alcoholic punch for the non-imbibers. Probably a sparkling lemonade type of drink/punch, although I"m not sure what I'll call it. Suggestions? One of Tom's friends is coming as Tormund and bring "Dragon Drums" - turkey legs he brined and smoked. My son is bringing "Robert's Revenge Ribs". My admin from work is bringing "Baratheon Pies" - I'm not sure yet what those are! A friend is making the Sansa Lemoncakes (I've made these several times already, so it's nice to let someone else do it). I'm making "Dornish Salad Boats" - chicken salad served up in whole romaine leaves. Cookies, cheese and fruit plates and loads of other things too. So far, I've got a Melissandre, a Yara/ Asha Greyjoy, Torumnd, and two Dany's, Most folks haven't told me yet what they're wearing. I decided on being a Sand Snake - since the weather has been quite warm lately and I want to be comfortable I figured the typical Catelyn Stark costume wouldn't work. For the prizes, I snagged several heavily discounted GoT items from HBO.com and amazon.

Hey Mark and Rhae. Oh - I'm SOOO excited for the premiere this Sunday. I'm having a big Feast of Thrones party with costume contest and an 'archery' contest (targets will be Joffrey and Ramsay). Hopefully everyone shows and we'll have about 25 or 30 people here. In preparation, I've run a second cable so we can watch in two separate rooms, 'cause that's more people we're ever had in our house. Last night I made Sigil cookies. :-)

So exciting!!!! Congratulations and the morning sickness will be over soon. Then you get to enjoy watching the tumor baby grow. :-)

Rosy and wonderful! We have been golfing, traveling and entertaining. Just having a grand old time. It's great to meet the love of my life. The fact that we're older only makes it that much sweeter and precious. The class is in Cisco Fiber Channel switches. Geeky me!

I am taking an online class this week, so multi-tasking by also catching up in westeros world.

Busy + lazy = Blazy? I'm doing great, Buck. Working, living the dream, you know the drill. But content in this world. Hello back atcha, Helena and FoMN. :-) Is everyone ready and gearing up for the season 7?

Hallloooooo! How are you, FRIENDS?

Good. Nice to see you, felice. Doing great and good to see you too! Good to see you here, First. How is everything? *hugs* for the Court Flower. Great, great. how are you, Cora? Everything is going super. We've been together for a couple years now (time flies!). I find this a bit sad. The art of the handwritten note should not be forgotten. It just means more than an email or text. I love to send and receive cards. Send me your address and I'll get one mailed to you. And if you can send me one, I'd love that. Remind me where you live, 'cause if you're anywhere near Portland you should come visit!

Me too, but I shall still enjoy watching you all receiving gifts and guessing in here. Such a cool idea and great people to enjoy it. *sits back with popcorn to watch the SS show*

It's good to see everyone still chatting about keeping TTTNE from the neverending. I hope you all are well and happy. I simply got out of the habit of checking in here. After moving in with my sweetheart, I now have an office so my computer isn't 'at the ready' any more. Quick update: I had a major surgery in March and am now fully recovered. I recently took a nice vacation in San Miguel de Allende Mexico. I'm back to work and missing vacation time! As I was a forum 'slacker' I ended up missing the Secret Santa signup but will add a calendar reminder for next year. Hey - if anyone wants a christmas card from Oregon just PM me your address.

Hallloooo TTTNE'ers

Oh my gosh! I can't believe I missed signing up this year. Well, I wish you all great fun in the gift-giving and receiving. And I will lurk here and share in the joy. also, if anyone wants a Christmas card please PM me your address. happy happy! Q, aka Catelyn Stoneheart
