    when i got leia unleashed

    After freaking years of wanting the Slave Leia unleashed, for a non-ridiculous price, I finally caught one on ebay with a buy-it-now for $25. So I snapped that puppy up. (I think the reason no one had gotten it already, was because “Unleashed” was misspelled in the title, perhaps- it was listed as “Unleahed” LOL) Ahh but she’s beautiful, I…

    when i mourned my lost toys

    I’ve probably already written about this, but I don’t care! When I was a little kid, I had a whole collection of Star Wars toys. I loved them a lot, I had a knock-off Star Wars action figure case to keep them in, but when I wanted to take them somewhere, I would put them in this little brown and…

    when i got annoyed at commission requests

    Do people on myspace not know how to read? I get so many messages everyday with people asking stuff that is on my main page, right there. I don’t have THAT much text on my page. I have paragraph about me. I have a paragraph (in big bold type!) that I make my own costumes, and I do not sell…

    Padme Photoshoots

    Gosh! We took pics of Battle Padme and Lake Padme last night. The battle ones came out ok, not great, but the lake ones, the lighting was way off and I just couldn’t figure out why. On the way to work this morning I realised – we had left the light on behind the backdrop. It threw off all the…

    when i had bad ebay deals

    Bad Ebay Deals! I have had, as far as I can remember, 3 bad ebay deals, all involving costume stuff. The first was in probably 2001. I found a nice pair of red Mary Janes that would go good with my Asuka sundress I had recently (also) bought off ebay. This was in the days before I had paypal, so…

    when the weekend was going to be busy

    Last night was fun, though we weren’t out very long! We were home by 9. We finished watching Cinderella 3 and went to sleep. LOL. I was up at 2 getting a snack, though. Must have not filled up enough at Texas de Brasil! This weekend promises to be busy, Friday night, Chase is going to a concert with my…

    when i got an xm radio

    Chase got me not only two cute cards, but the monkey magnets from Target that I liked so much, a little Belle dressup doll, and a big model of the Millenium Falcon! (he’s going to put it together for me!) And my parents got me an XM radio. whoohoo!

    when i needed a drug fix

    Stupid Valentine’s Day Cards… I went several weeks ago and bought my Valentines Day Cards, so it’s not like I waited til the last minute and nothing was left… but I had the hardest time picking out a card for Chase. We were together this time last year, already, but I just gave him one of my Star Wars kiddie…

    when i packed a lunch

    I woke up this morning feeling rather icky. The slighty sore throat I’d had yesterday was 10x worse, and I was badly congested – my nose, my throat, and my ears! I got up and Chase had me gargle some salt water – which ended badly, but helped, and I found a sore throat lozenge in the medicine cabinet, and…

    Make a Wish Troop & Padme Pics!

    WOW!! The Make-a-Wish event in Clarksville yesterday was awesome! The event was supposed to be from 1-3, we ended up staying until 4 because there were SO many people there, still waiting in line to get pictures with us! I couldn’t believe how many people showed up — we raised almost $1400! I didn’t take many pictures, but here they…

    when we had wintery mix

    Well, I was supposed to have a hair appointment this morning (which I desperately needed, my bangs are way too long, but I will get mum to trim them sunday when I get home from nashville – I don’t trust her to do that before I wear Leia tomorrow! ;)), but dad burst into my room at 8AM going on…

    Timothy Zahn Signing Pics! & Leia updates

    Well, I Istill/i haven’t worked on anything lately. I did get my ceremonial Leia skirt pieces out and washed them, since it had gotten something on it while laying around in the sewing room (who knows what, probably paint or something. It came off). Mum agreed tonight to look at it with me and help me figure out where I…

    when my car died

    Well, this morning, I decided to leave for work a little early, and good thing. I got to my car and it wouldn’t start. Turns out the battery was dead. Luckily dad was home sick today, and of course Chase was here, so they got dad’s truck around in front of my car and got it started for me. I…

    when i couldn’t play the sims

    MAN! I got an external harddrive a couple of months ago, and discovered that I could install Sims 2 on it and play it off of that (my computer can’t handle it anymore, so I had uninstalled it a long time ago). So I decided to install it on the external drive tonight, I got all my stuff and sat…

    when i did some more room work

    So the room revamp and ultimate cleaning is finally to the point I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I started back in December, cleaning everything out and getting rid of stuff and moving things out of my room, so I could bring new stuff in. The plans were for a new bed for me, nightstand,…
