Best Week Ever

So usually things in my life are sort of low.

I'm currently unemployed.
I have no money.
I'm STILL single.
Most of my friends are a thousand miles away.
The only people I drink with are over the age of 50.
I have no rugby.

But this week was an upper. I loved this week. If I could live Sunday to Sunday, I'd do it again in a heart beat.

Sunday to Sunday? Why not start with friday? you might be asking. Well, because my Saturday kind of sucked the big one. I found out I was turned down (yet again) for another position with the National park Service. So Sunday is the day I'm choosing to start my week on.

You see, Sunday I got to go to the Renaissance Festival with a big group of friends.



I even made masks for my brother and I because it was Mardi Gras/Carnivale weekend. They were beautiful (if I do say so myself). His harlequin mask took me forever, but it was worth it.



We saw Charming and Dashing, a new show at the festival. They're funny...but corny but I guess that's what makes the festival great.



And of course there was the joust...


We were loud, rowdy, a little obnoxious....but all in all we had a good time, and it was beautiful. If every day could be a festival day, I'd be a VERY happy camper.

Monday was scout night, which is always fun, and then Tuesday I got some rugby in my life.



You see, the city of Glendale, CO has more or less adopted rugby as the official sport of the city. THey even built a sweet new arena for it. So the North American 4 Tournament (NA4) is being played up there.

So I got to see Canada East and West play, and then the USA Hawks and Falcons play. And get this...it only cost me $5!!!!! I was in heaven. Fine ass rugby men, surrouned by rugby appreciating peoples and a beautiful bug free Colorado night was just this side of heaven.

But wait...my Sunday to Sunday is going to get better.

Tomorrow is the finals of the NA4 and I plan on being there for it. And then Sunday I'm going white water rafting with the crew. And THAT'S only going to cost me $20 because we've got connections.

I need this week on loop because dayum, with the exeption of an upcoming road trip, my life is looking pretty bleak.
