    Typical. + Belle progress

    It’s not silly enough to post the whole thing, but just for the record, I’m not selling my Hoth Leia 😉 You know it’s funny – there are a few costumes I’ve thought about selling in the past. I’m not going to, but I’m not going to say the thought hasn’t crossed my mind. BUT – the ones I’ve thought…

    LOL. a 5 year hammock

    So I’ve apparently been at my job for 5 years, and when that happens you get a certificate and a choice of gifts. There was about 20 things – I ended up picking the hammock. I don’t know why that amuses me so much.

    Buying wedding stuff

    OK, I really, honestly was not trying to go for a Beauty & the Beast theme – and I’m still not. I was trying to keep it out of the wedding as much as possible, because early on, Chase told me he didn’t want to be thought of as a “beast” at the wedding, which I can understand LOL So…

    Engagement Pics already

    So we had from Pete, our photographer – he asked if we could do the engagement pictures this weekend. The “D:” is just because I realised I’m not prepared for it, have no clue what I want to wear, etc, etc. But the timing is fine, actually better, really… I’m excited to see how they turn out. We’re going downtown……

    Halloween silliness and Wonder Woman pics

    The annual Halloween emails/messages have begun. So far hit up: Belle (would i be willing to commission one for halloween), Stitch (how u make that mask i wanna make 1), She-Ra (been looking everywhere, would you be willing to sell yours?) and oddly enough Marion (do you rent your costumes, because I need a Marion costume…) I think I’ll keep…

    Today…

    Today was supposed to have been a do-nothing, go-nowhere, stay-at-home and finish some stuff kind of day. We woke up this morning and Chase said, “Let’s go to Cracker Barrel for breakfast.” I said fine, so off we went. After that, we were just going to go to Sports Authority or Dick’s (if Dick’s was open yet) so Chase could…

    More Dragoncon 2007 pics

    I added about 40 more Dragoncon pics to our gallery – basically I was bored at work, went back through the photos I didn’t use (either because they were too similar to ones I’d already posted, weird, or blurry, etc). I found a few more to upload – here’s a few of them. Cath’s breakfast saturday morning. Yay for smiling…

    website finished!

    The website update/overhaul is complete — Check it out! All of our new costumes are added (with the exception of Chase’s Jango Fett and my doll Leia, neither of which we have enough pics of yet to add), and all the galleries are updated.. whee 🙂 Main page: (I don’t know what this was. The main page had the same…

    Haven’t updated in a while…

    Well our DJ double booked us, as I’m sure some of you from my regular friends list saw, LOL. He had no idea about the double booking – the agency did not contact him when they booked him to do the stupid prom same night as our wedding. He made good on it, though. He was not happy about the…

    Horrorfest plans

    Nashville Comic/Horrorfest is ON 🙂 I think I may take regular Leia or Animated Leia — blue Belle if I finish it in time — yellow Belle for the zoo Sat night, and Kingdom Come Wonder Woman for a photoshoot on Sunday. I got the parts of my blue Belle dress cut out and sewn together. I decided to cut…

    MidSouthCon: party type-thing

    I realise this isn’t going to affect most people on my LJ list, but I thought I’d throw it out there! Chase & I are having a party at MidSouthCon next year! (http://midsouthcon.org) It’s an engagement party, we’ll be hanging out all Saturday night with food & drinks and stuff, so if we know you or semi-know you or don’t…

    Disney pictionary and stuff

    First off I had a hair appointment yesterday and he curled my hair and it looked v. cute. Secondly, Cath, Rach and Nana came over last night. We ordered pizza, ate cupcakes, and played games. Cath & Rach had gotten me Disney Pictionary, and Rach and I made an amazing comeback at the last second to win the game! LOL.…

    when i had a migrainey birthday

    Yesterday was pretty good. For my birthday Chase gave me the Galactic Heroes Endor Han and ewok set, plus the jacket we’d seen at the mall a few weeks ago! I wore it to work yesterday, because usually I’m freezing at work, but for some reason it was warm in the office yesterday so I didn’t get to wear it…

    Upcoming Schedule

    I thought I’d mention my upcoming costuming schedule. October 20-21 is the Nashville Comic/Horror Fest. They call it Horror Fest still, and I don’t know why – there really is nothing “horror” about it. It’s basically a comic show at the fairgrounds, with a few local artists, and last year – Thong Girl! Saturday night once it closes down, we…

    Halloween and Belle updates

    I’m hoping to go pick up fabric for my new blue Belle dress this weekend. I’d like to go ahead and get started on it, despite how burnt-out I was feeling right after Dragoncon. With no internet on my laptop, I keep looking for other things to do — and with Chase working on new helmet sculpts in the work…

    Lion King on stage!

    so this past weekend was our weekend for relaxation, for the first time in a few months. We bought a video game (Justice League something-or-another) and actually finished it Sunday, it was fun. We enjoyed it so much we went to Target last night in search of another game — we ended up with X-Men Legends II, which we didn’t…

    Costume Suggestions?

    I’m looking for a costume to make for Dcon next year, something that will be easy and fun to dance in. Slave Leia was my #1 choice costume for that in previous years, but it’s gotten so oversaturated I wanted to find something else. I tried Wonder Woman and Belle’s pink dress this past con – Wonder Woman just because…

    Sunday @ Dragoncon 2007

    Sunday morning we got to sleep in a little. We had a 10am photoshoot with Eurobeat King, so we got up at 9 to get ready. Cath had moved to the girls’ room the day before, once Ash and Melissa had gotten up and settled – they were on the 36th floor!! LOL Ewok Leia is really fast & easy…

    DRAGONCON 2007, PART TWO!

    Saturday morning dawned annoyingly early. We had to get up at 7:30 in order to get up and dressed for the parade. Cath was smart – she got up, got dressed and got herself out of there before we even got started! I was going to wear Boushh for the 501st picture, and then walk with the helmet off with…
