I’d almost forgotten about the photos Märrie and I had had taken at RingCon last year – until I had them in my inbox just now…

Not the best picture in the world, but definitely the most flattering of the three they took. Why is it so hard to keep your eyes open in photos? *g*

Hard to believe that I’ll leave for RingCon 2004 on Thursday – I’ll be a helper this year. Therefore I guess I’ll won’t be costumed, which is kinda sad. I’d have loved to dress up as a hobbit lass again, the way I did for the premiere of RotK last December…

But – I’ll meet Billy Boyd (Pippin), my favorite hobbit actor! That’s so very exciting!

So this Wednesday was the theatrical release of the third and last part of the ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy, ‘The Return of the King’. And this year, I dressed up — as a hobbit lass, complete with Ears and a scarf knitted after the one worn by Pippin in the movies. Yes, I am obsessed — why are you asking? *g*

But first: it’s almost Christmas, and although people here don’t tend to get too crazy with the decorations, I stumbled across this little gem of a garden — an impressive collection of ‘garden dwarves’ side by side with a little Christmas village.

Made me grin.

Today my dad, my brother and I will go and buy our Christmas tree — it’s tradition to wait so long, and we won’t even decorate it until the morning of the 24th. Can’t wait! 🙂

Back to the topic — me as a hobbit. My favorite picture:

Cute, huh? 🙂

I hope I’ll have opportunity to dress up in the future — I just enjoy it!
