hello strange person

So here's a fun fact about facebook for you. I've been trying to "lessen" my facebook footprint for a while, deleting photos, removing anything personal, and the other day I decided to start removing pages I've liked, especially since I "liked" a ton of random cosplay pages back in the day when doing "like for like" things with people in various groups and they're not actually people I know. And ...

this is halloween

Whoo! It's been a busy few days! First up, we finished the new tombstones! Gravestones? Headstones. What is the best term. I like Tombstones best. And we got some lights for night time. Thursday was the Pink Palace event. After work I decided I had time to take a quick nap before I got ready. Took my nap, went to start doing my makeup and for the second time could ...

no time off for good behavior

October has really gotten away from me. Here it is less than a week from halloween and I still haven't even finished decorating. We have made good progress on the tombstones for the yard though. Here's one with the text dremeled out: And painted up: Chase glued the stands on this morning, so they should hopefully be ready to go in the yard tonight. Along with the other yard decorations. ...

now dont close your eyes and dont try to hide

Fall is finally here, I'm bundled up in the baja sweater I got in arkansas, sweatpants, house shoes and a big blanket today. It's a bone-chilling 57 degrees out right now LOL. Speaking of the baja sweater, I have realized I am slowly falling back into my 1995 fashion of over-sized XL fandom tshirts, hoodies and baja sweaters. If I start adding in giant bell bottoms again, someone stop me. I've spent ...

may the odds be ever in your favor

It's an extra post this week because i'm still riding the adrenaline high of the Marriott Hunger Games this morning. I was successful and got our room through a lot of shaking and heart pounding (WHY IS "ORGANIZATION" A REQUIRED FIELD?). Only thing I'm concerned with is that I used a card I usually only use in emergencies - decided it would be the best option - and I'm worried ...

post-vacation ennui

We're home after an amazing long weekend getaway with the family. Wednesday night I finished up packing - was told to bring our D&D stuff, so I needed an extra bag for it - what better than the bag my parents used for the D&D stuff in the 80s? Then thursday morning it was off to Hot Springs! We headed out a little later than we ...

what year is it??

I think I mentioned last week we'd been having internet issues? I can't remember. Was having issues UPLOADING mostly, downloading was fine but -- for instance on friday? It took TWO HOURS to upload a tiktok video. Geez. We'd have occasional internet blips too, wi-fi would stop working for a few seconds, maybe a minute, and then come back. We called our provider last week and they had a tech ...

treat yo’self

The days are changing - the sunlight in my work office in the morning is absolutely killing me. It's reflecting off the glass of my desk and directly into my eyes. I've had to pull up the ends of the curtains to lay across the glass to block it. And this is why, last week, I built a blanket fort in my sewing room and just worked from my blanket ...

life, the universe, and everything

HI it's my birthday!!!! Already getting off to a "FUN" start, work has been completely insane the last week and continues to be so. But today is a birthday I've been waiting for. For years, decades even, I have wanted to do a Hitchhiker's Guide themed birthday for my 42nd birthday. Well obviously because of the state of the world I did not get to do a Hitchhiker's Guide themed ...

Dragoncon Part 2!

Ok I was hoping to have this post up last week, but Chase had a lot of trouble exporting the photos and I was only getting them in chunks. I think I've got all of them now, or at least, most of them. Might be a few more stragglers. Besides uploading pics, last week was absolutely crazy at work, and only going to get crazier... I spent most evenings laying ...
