its the final countdown

It's now August and we are 3 weeks out. Geez normally we'd have 4 weeks at this point but Labor Day seems early this year. That freaks me out, I was feeling good about where I was but not anymore LOL So what'd I get done this week? I got my Shin gaiters done: Are they accurate? I don't know, and I don't give a shit at this point. More Taylor boot ...

oh hi. It's getting close to panic time for dragoncon. A while back Jess made a comment about my the Taylor Swift game mastermind in relation to my dragoncon line-up - so I had to do my dragoncon line up that way: Those 10 are pretty much confirmed.

It's soft-sided thing from ikea and I keep like my swimsuits and tights and stuff I don't need often in it, and I left it unzipped and she claimed it. She's always gone through phases of where she sleeps, she'll sleep in her cat condo for a month, then the back of the ...

Tatooine Padme: First up, I finally bit the bullet ...

I've been trying to catch her in this pose and set the Huttslayer figure in front of her for ages. Finally got it. Not a lot to report on this week. The soft lavender and pale blue are making me wish I'd committed to doing only pastel costumes for dragoncon LOL Walker stayed over Friday, she watched the Eras livestream with me. THIS is what I've been dealing with the ...

you’re a loony

Oh my gosh I have a ton to post today. So let's start at the beginning. Tuesday we took Kevin to see Inside Out 2. He did his best Mr Bean impression while wearing a tiny hat at Huey's. And then he posed with Wolvy and Deadpool. We wanted to take a group picture with this after the movie but there were people just sitting on it like a park bench, ...
