    our shadows taller than our soul

    So it’s been another week of unpacking and organizing. FUN TIMES. But the past week I’ve really dug in on the sewing room, which was equally fun and equally frustrating. One of the things I ran across that I didn’t know what to do with was all of my CDs. I had a decent CD collection. But a lot of…

    oh wow

    Starting off with the art today because I have it open so it’s the easiest thing to post haha. This is based on a ROTS era concept. I tried it in some different colours but at the end of the day it’s a battle outfit and having it be purple really wasn’t working. I tried to keep some different tones…

    I really don’t have a lot that is interesting today except MORE HOUSE STUFF… of course. I’ve been unpacking, organizing, breaking down boxes for a whole week but when I look around it’s like I’ve done nothing. It’s so frustrating LOL Tuesday at work last week was like, the day from hell… so I decided to go home and treat…

    It’s the first house post of 2019

    At least I think it is. I’m too lazy to go look. So Thursday last week we TOOK POSSESSION OF OUR NEW HOUSE!! It was super exciting. I met Chase there as soon as I got off work, we had the alarm folks out to look at updating the alarm system that came with the house, and they got everything…

    it’s 2 posts in one day

    and that’s only because I totally forgot to come back and hit publish on my disney trip report post last week. So I published it this morning LOL. But, I don’t really have a lot to post about today. Last week after Christmas was pretty boring. Work was quiet and boring. Didn’t really do anything in the evenings. One evening…

    2018 Year in Review!

    Another year, another year in review! 2018 was a crazy year of packing and moving. Trying to make stuff in between packing, in between moving, while living with family with 90% of my stuff in storage, has been hectic to say the least! So to start off with, here are the projects I said I wanted to do in 2018……

Speaking of really early, I had to come in to work early today… I was here at 6AM YIKES. And the drive in…

    OK! So in my last post I talked about being done with the Little Mermaid costumes! Well, Monday afternoon I rode with mom over to the theater to help add some straps to the mermaid tops – even though the mermaids were all wearing black leotards under the tops they were still having some issues keeping them on and in…

    THE PLAY IS OVER! It was really fun but I’m glad it’s over! I totally stole the pic in my blog header because it was a great pic of the whole cast showing the whole stage. Program cover which I drew in case you couldn’t tell. I had about 30 seconds of time onstage where I needed to look like…

    I don’t have a ton to post today. Despite Saturday being a con day. Last week was play practices, me feeling crappy, going to see Fantastic Beasts 2. This BP medicine they put me on is killing me, just a constant nagging exhaustion and headache all the time. Fantastic Beasts 2 was fun. Not my favourite but it was fun…

    Friday was PUPPY DAY! I rode with my parents up to Nashville to pick up my new “little sister”! I got off work early Friday and drove on up to my grandparents in Jackson. Met my parents there and hopped in their car for the rest of the ride to Nashville. Got there at 6:30 and walked into a puppy…

    oh god that’s such a stupid subject line but i’m sticking with it. I’ve been dealing with a cold since tuesday! Ugh! Friday it progressed into “i’m coughing so much i can’t sleep/breath and I feel like I’m going to break a rib.” Mucinex is my best friend right now. House stuff is at a “hurry up and wait” point.…

But we saw a house last Wednesday and loooooooooooooooooved it. We made an offer on Thursday. They countered on Friday and Friday evening we accepted their counter. So we…

    We’re past the halfway point in the first season in our Star Trek TNG watch/rewatch! (rewatch for me – watch for Chase) I’m enjoying it sooo much. And Chase is too which is making me really happy!! So anyway. I think this week I’ll start with sewing. So last week I left off not being able to decide between the…

    scraps

    I didn’t post yesterday because I didn’t really have much of anything to post about. So I gathered up some various scraps of photos and things to cobble together a post for today. Chase was out of town this weekend so I mostly just cleaned up the living space, organized some stuff. Played some video games. Went to Joann Saturday…

    No it’s not con crud. I’ve never really gotten con crud except that one time I came back from WSMI in Columbus sick in 2006. But the weather is changing and I’m still worn out from dragoncon so I feel like death warmed over. I slept a lot this weekend. Vague aches and pains in the back of my head/neck.…

    it’s your rare mid-week post

    I don’t have my phone today. It has made me very aware of how many times a day I reach for my phone for no particular reason. Like literally every 10 minutes. It’s getting a new battery put in today. I wanted to just go ahead and buy a new phone, because it’s time, but Chase said some new phone…
