Living in the Past
This has been my life for the past 3… maybe almost 4 weeks now. I have been living in the past. First it was the old blog posts. Then trying to find old, lost costume photos. That led to digging into the my old art files and trying to find every single thing I ever posted to my website EVER.…

3 Half-Assed Galadriels
So to pick up where I left off last week — I obviously ended up being SO GLAD we rescheduled our trip since our party canceled and the parks shut down on Friday! We’d have only had 1 park day and 1.5 days of stuck at Pop Century!! It still sucks missing my cousins but it looks like they still…

down the rabbit hole
So anyway, to continue where I left off the previous post… The rabbit hole is never ending. I went BACK through all my old backup files last night, looking for more old stuff. I managed to scrape up the majority of my old pre-blogger “Free talks” from 1998, though I can’t find much from 1999 — there’s a big chunk…

being a grown-up sucks
Well right about now we should had been nearing the Florida border on our way to Disney World. We would have left after work yesterday and spent tonight at our first ever Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. Yesterday we would have spent at Epcot Food and Wine with my cousins, aunt and uncle, and Saturday we would have gone…

Link and a parasol
So to finish from my earlier post, Sunday we ran errands, and packed. And I ran over to Kevin’s house and picked him up so we could go over his Link costume stuff. He hasn’t worn it since 2013, so we needed to make sure everything still fit and worked ok. He’s wearing it to Mickey’s Not So Scary thursday…

what a drag it is getting old
Last week was Las Vegas for work. It was exhausting. I didn’t take just a ton of pictures this year because it was all pretty much the same. Here’s the view from my window: I ended up having Lobster Bisque at all 3 client dinner meetings we went to in the evenings. I ranked them all at the end. Dinner…

A quick birthday post
I haven’t posted since Monday even though my birthday was Tuesday and I usually always post then! I’ll get to the reason why in a sec. Monday night Chase made my fav cheese fondue!! We watched the new Beatles doc on hulu. And I finished cleaning my office: Tuesday was my actual birthday and I went to lunch with parents…

Closet Fix
In going back through my recent posts last week to add tags, I realized I use “ugh monday” or “it’s monday again” or something similar as my post title A LOT so I decided I will not ever mention monday in my post titles again. Anyway, I we skipped out on Delta Fan Fest Saturday. I really wanted to go…

a stupid meme
This is a meme where you ask your husband/boyfriend these questions with no explanation. I’m doing it because it’s my blog and I do what I want. Here’s Chase’s answers. What is something I always say to you? “Will you rub my back?” What makes me happy? Fries, Disney, Puppies, new clothes What makes me sad? Also puppies LOL How…

Disney Trip Pics, Part 2, & Restaurant Thoughts
Chase gave me his photos last night! I also wanted to talk a little more about the food, because it is one of my favourite things to talk about. Eating way too much food at ‘Ohana: ‘Ohana thoughts… The food at ‘Ohana was a little bit of a disappointment to me honestly. I mean it was perfectly fine, I guess…

Dragoncon Pics Part 2, Tightrope Walker Updates
Chase sent me over his pics he took at Dragon Con – not many, but got some nice ones of my Tightrope Walker. Getting ready in the room (standing up after putting my shoes on, looks like): Trying to fix that one weird pleat before we took photos: Full length: I’m not so sure I like this photo yet I…

To continue from my previous Dragon Con post — we got up Sunday morning at 6 AM and started the drive down into Orlando! YAY! This post consists of my iphone photos and our photopass pics – I haven’t gotten Chase’s photos yet so that will be part 2. SUNDAY! We finished up our audiobook of Deathly Hallows that morning…

Dragon Con Photos Round One
We’re back!!! Ok so I don’t have much to share in the first post. But it’s enough to recap Saturday at least. Friday I took off work, finished packing, cleaned the house, went for a swim: Tiniest Dragoncon load EVER. Saturday morning we loaded up the car and were on the road by 6 AM. We got into Atlanta right…

SunDowner
Several of you guys have asked me if I still have SunDowner online. I’ve been promising to throw it up on my site soon… but I just haven’t gotten around to it. The problem is that my name is on eeeeeeeeeeverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrything (and I’ve worked hard to not use that name online anymore), so I don’t really want them public just…

Argh
When I’m stuck at work and everybody else is at Dragon Con Ugh! I’ve been totally OK with it up until today. Seeing everybody arriving and missing out… I thought Friday would be the tough day but no, it’s today. I repleated my Tightrope Walker skirt last night. Went faster than I expected. I got my suitcase for Disney repacked…

The Disney and the DragonCon
I haven’t posted much lately… haven’t had much of anything to post! Went to my grandma’s for the weekend. Came back Saturday just to go to the Ren Faire with friends (I said I’d do it… I did it)… this time I wasn’t messing around. No attempt at curls, just a ponytail. Much better. Threw my flower crown I got…

Just another picture of my 7 Dwarfs skirt
Ignore the packing going on behind me. I got the hook and eye attached and the sweater I’d been wanting from modcloth came, so I put it all on together. I do wish I had some yellow flats I could add red bows to to wear with it 🙂 Last night I packed all my clothes for the trip which…

Hooks and eyes oh my
I took these pics for a facebook last night so I thought I’d share them here, too, and expound on my post. Several years ago I was obsessed with the different variations of Disney Princess costumes at the parks. I collected photos from all the parks, the parades/stage show/meet-and-greet variations… I had a huge collection saved on my computer. Somewhere…

Ren Faire, boredom, and packing
I’ve never had free time in August. It’s so weird. I was actually bored this weekend because I had no costumes to work on. And we had time to go to the Ren Faire Saturday! Unfortunately we totally picked the wrong day today. We were torn between Sat and Sun based on the weather, but Sat ended up working better…

Bricks and Minifigs Event
Got Chase’s pics from Saturday uploaded! Sometimes when I know I’m in the background of a photo Chase is taking I just stare at him. Trying to convince a little boy which Star Wars Lego he should get… I was pushing for Leia… the stormtroopers were pushing for more stormtroopers.
