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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
I started to title this "back to real life" but I realized doing something normal like going to Dragon Con is real life. Going back to the day-to-day of the last year is the fake life. So -- Dragon Con was actually pretty great. I had my reservations, as you may have noticed in the last post. But the low crowds, the people, the volunteers... everything was great. Of course ...
I've decided I'm officially considering this dragoncon #20. Actually I take that back. Going to wait and see how the weekend goes. if it sucks this is dragoncon #19. If it's great it's dragoncon #20 LOL. This year would've been #20 if they hadn't canceled last year -- but i DID participate in the virtual con last year so I feel like I could count it? If I wanted to? Just brain things. So ...
