Candle Fetish/Fencon

So, this year I decided that I'm going to buy candles only from that brand I love best (Tyler Candles) and not fritter away funds on inexpensive candles. So today in the mail, I got a trio of candles: their excellent Mulled Cider, the always favored Patchouli (which I've already burned, and declare lovely), and Envay a new scent that contains sandalwood and bergamot (yes, very men's perfume. I do like it.)

I have added Cowboy and Snickerdoodle to my wish list, because I don't know how you could go wrong with either. I keep the jars to store office supplies in, and it's marvelous to get a sniff of mulled cider when I grab out a paperclip.

I got my Fencon WW assignment, and I'm in the first group of victims Thursday night. Thank Goodness is all I can say! I don't weather cons all that well, and fear that I wouldn't make a good impression (or be civil) if I have to wait until Sunday's session. What a relief!

I'm not a candle person, really. They're so messy! Sometimes they smell all right, but--although, now that I say this, I've only ever bought the cheapest ones, so I bet that has a lot to do with it. I'll look for Tyler and see if it really is different :-). I'm a candle skeptic, I guess.

FenCon looks like it's going to be a blast, and the goh is Connie Willis, wow, that's very cool :) Yes, I think it's better to get your WW assignment over early, it's so much more comfortable! You'll do fine :)

When and how did you get your ArmadilloCon info? So far I've heard nothing. Zero! Nada!

FenCon. I meant FenCon.
