Kitty!
We have a stray cat who we feed at work. He has a little bucket-turned-bed and a food bowl next to our front door, AND he is spoiled – the people next to us set out a bed and food for him, too. I don’t think he lives in the woods, though. While he’s not exactly a “people-cat” he lets…

1st Anniversary
Our first anniversary is a week from tomorrow. While it doesn’t seem like a year it’s weird to me to think I’ve been married for a year! Chase is usually the one to plan this kind of stuff, and he likes to keep his plans secret from me. This time I’m the one planning the trip and keeping it secret…

Cable Show & Photoshoot Photo dump
I know I haven’t actually updated on any sewing for a while – but that’s coming very soon I promise 🙂 Chase was asked to take part in this cable trade show for Turner networks in Washington DC, as one of several clonetroopers in their booth. I got to tag along as a handler 🙂 It was nice quick little…

Magic Erasers
Magic Erasers are so awesome. Ash discovered how well they could clean your shoes. Today I used one on my laptop. It’s so shiny and sparkly, oooo it’s like new again (on the outside anyway)

A redesign
I’m going to work on this blog this weekend, and get rid of this blogger-made design and replace it with my own. For now I at least updated my links and archive section over there. I’m really liking writing here again, instead of livejournal. Not that I’m going to switch completely, I’ll keep using both, but it’s nice. Haven’t decided…

Indiana the Genius Dog
Indy will take anything I hand her. She’ll usually drop it after a few seconds once she realises it’s not food. Well last night I was walking into the kitchen to throw away a piece of paper, and as I did Indy came walking around the corner. She looked up at me so I handed the piece of paper to…

Box of Rainbows and Magic (aka Books)
I got my shipment from Barnes & Noble yesterday – all the books and dvds I ordered with my leftover christmas gift certificate 🙂 It really was like christmas, too – I got 4 new books and 2 dvds (Tudors season 2 and Shakespeare in Love – the 2nd one because I had like $10 more left on my card…

Cleaning
I took all but one of my photos down off my desk at work yesterday. Not for any bad reason or anything, but because I didn’t have a single picture on there more recent than 2005. Get this – I didn’t even have a picture of my husband on there, because the most recent picture up there was before I…

A new start to my blog
I have been very neglectful of my personal blog the past couple of years. I’ve decided I ought to use it more – and not just to post stupid memes – so I’ve decided to start fresh, with a brand new blog and a brand new design. I have yet to redesign this — that will be coming soon, but…

Disney World 2009 pics
We had one full day (Magic Kingdom/Hollywood studios) and 2 half days (epcot). Despite the fact that’s really not long enough, especially for someone who has never been there (Chase & Scott!) we had a LOT of fun (which is why we kept skipping out on the convention way early to go back to the parks… LOL) Scott, me and…

Megacon & Photoshoot Pic Dump
I finally finished digging out the megacon pics Chase missed. Here’s the smugmug set. The new pics start at the little boy dressed as Link. I’m just going to post 2 of them, because they’re of Kevin. Here he is in his ebay jedi Luke costume again. I need to take it up and find him some better fitting boots.…

box full of geekery.
My rebel legion trading cards came this week – I had no idea there would be this many! LOL. They look really good though, I’m pleased.

Plans
I planned to work on stuff this weekend – haven’t gotten a thing done so far. I want to work on Belle, and I also need to make the little skirt-thingie for Chase’s clonetrooper. The clonetrooper thing will be first on the list once I make myself go to the work room – earlier this week I started putting together…

Megacon 2009 Pics
Honestly I kinda feel really bad we didn’t stay at Megacon very long at all. I missed seeing a lot of people I wanted to see and just didn’t really have time to enjoy it. But — like I said in previous posts, Silk Spectre was fun to wear. Starfire was a giant FAIL… and the makeup remover I used…

One more Sleeping Beauty pic
Chase processed this one for me 🙂

Sally Jupiter and Aurora pics
Thought I’d toss a few pics up here before I head to work. Only one from megacon, still waiting on Chase to send me the rest. Here’s a few more of the Sleeping Beauty photoshoot — still haven’t gotten through them all, though. back to real life today… 🙁

hello from florida…
…and I’m going home to snow. It hasn’t snowed in Memphis all year (except for a light dusting that lasted less than a day in Jan), and now that I’m leaving Florida, what does it do? 6 inches! Yuck! Anyway. Confession time: we hardly spent any time at the convention. Friday we left around the time we planned to go…

Sally Jupiter done!
(edit: This might be the absolutely worst featured image header I’ve done so far.) Well everything is basically done, I guess. Costumes are packed and in a box in my car to be shipped out today. Still got to finish packing regular clothes and stuff tonight. Our flight is at 1 tomorrow, we should be in Orlando around 4:30ish, if…

Sally Jupiter updates
I got the rings sewn in place on the front of the cincher, that took up the bulk of yesterday because I’m so slow at hand-sewing (meaning I sew a little bit, get distracted, sew a little bit, get distracted…). I got the buttons sewn on the gloves and the dress attached to the collar. Tonight once I get home…
