I'm starting to think there's been a miscalculation. On the one hand, I'm having fun, but on the other hand there's a lot to value in my day to day routine that is getting shoved around a great deal, or left out all together. Also, I'm starting to feel a little physically worn out. We're going to Oh! You Pretty Things tomorrow night, which is a last minute addition to our schedule. During the week M is coming to the neighborhood for some help putting together her next DOV outfit, but otherwise I think I need to slow down a bit, and maybe focus on quieter events, like the steampunk picnic
chelseagirl47 and I are working on. Everything feels somewhat frenetic, even frantic. While there's sometimes something exhilarating about that sort of energy, it feel right now like there's just too much of that - even book group felt a little frenetic.
Speaking of the steampunk picnics, what do people think about the idea of suggesting that people bring related things to read aloud? Not making a requirement of it, of course, but putting the idea out there as a way of ensuring at least some focus *on* steampunk, aside from our fabulous, fabulous clothes.:) The only sort of outdoor appropriate activity I can think of otherwise that could possibly fit the period, if not the "steam" aspect would be croquet, and I don't know anyone who has a set.

And yeah, croquet is so appropriate, but even if I could wrestle down the set from my parents' house, I'd have no place to keep it here. Um, badminton? Emailing you about the picnic later, when I've had a chance to research the site more.
