i am thankful for short work weeks

Oh hi here I am back again with absolutely no Utena updates. My red fabric is supposed to arrive today finally. Then I have to get my brain back up to speed on the project. I know it's only been like 2 weeks I haven't done anything on it but that's long enough for me to forget where I was going with it. Tuesday last week we went to see the ...

it’s a very monday monday

Actually it was a very-Monday Sunday too. But work has been vicious today and I'm already over it. Luna did not make this mess. I did, she only sat in the middle of it. I'm a bit stuck on Utena at the moment. Got nothing done this weekend except I cut out the sleeves and collar. I spent about 3 nights last week pleating the underskirt, deciding it was too long, ...

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 ...
