halloween hijinks
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.…

incoherent screaming
Oh my GOSh I have so much to post about since last week. SO I have posted about this on social media at all because I DON’T WANT TO JINX IT. 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…

all the things
I’ve basically got 2 weeks worth of stuff to post today. So hold onto your butts, it’s going to be a long post! Let’s separate this into topics. 1. Las Vegas So last week was Vegas for work. I didn’t think I was going to have to do this show again but it got pulled together kinda at the last…

the final frontier
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…

in which I have a birthday and suddenly have a new costume to make
Thursday was my birthday! And it was a rather important birthday in relation to my blog — this is the 20th birthday I’ve blogged about here. And funnily enough, I celebrated this birthday the exact same way I celebrated it in 1998 – we went to Molly’s with my family and we sat in the exact same place and they…

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…

i got the black lung, pop
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.…

dragoncon blues
HI! I’m home, and officially dead from dragoncon. So let’s backtrack to Thursday morning! I got up at 5:30AM and Ash was there to pick me up before the sun was even fully up. We drove thru Silent Hill. The drive was pretty uneventful. We got into Atlanta around 2. Getting the car unloaded and into the room was painless!…

Dragoncon Eve
Happy Dragoncon Eve! It’s happy because I FINISHED EVERYTHING LAST NIGHT. Well like 99.9% but still, everything major is DONE and if the stuff I plan on doing tonight doesn’t get done, it’s not a big deal. So my to-do list is: Run one errand after work Do laundry Trim that lacefront wig that’s arriving today (the base for the…

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…

a trip and a lot of beading
Hi everybody! So yeah, last week was bad. My heart hurts and doubly so for my parents. And I really don’t have a lot of sewing stuff to show you guys today. Because it’s just been a week of non-stop beading. Which gets repetitious to keep taking pictures of. But I do have a few things to talk about. Thursday,…

Kes
I guess I need to post here that we lost Kes on Monday. We are all devastated.

the beadings will continue until dragoncon
So let’s see, what have I done since last weekend? Oh that’s right, I sat on the couch and beaded every single day. Ok so first. I was telling Kristie that I didn’t like the bugle beads and was going to take them off that first test piece and redo them. She looked at my reference and was like, “uh…

weekend stuff
Sooooo this weekend. To be honest I don’t want to go into the shittiness of most of this weekend; but the one point relevant to my blog is that Kes is sick and we don’t know how long we have with her. It is tough. So that is all I am going to say about that. I’m going to focus…

in which i am homeless, and sad
First off OMG I had a migraine ALL last week, monday thru friday and friday I made myself sick taking way too much pain medicine (because I was out of migraine medicine). So that was fun. Especially while trying to get the house ready for moving this weekend!! But tuesday I was surprised with another package at work: Chase got…

a very moving weekend
Guess what! Chase and I are homeless. We closed on our house Friday. All done. The new owner takes possession a week from today, so we have until then to move out. It’s so strange feeling. Like I said, I’m a little sad. It’s been a great home. But before I get too far into all that, let’s go back…

bienvenidos a miami
Ugh my photos are all out of order in my smugmug folder. So I’m just going to post these by category instead of linearly. Thursday! We went to see the Frayser Bauhaus. This super cool house was built in 1948. It got turned into a doctor’s office for several years, and now it’s being restored to its former glory! They…

Two posts in a row?!
I knowwwww I just posted yesterday and normally I try to put more space between posts BUT yesterday was a big day. And it IS DragonCon season which means I’m working on a lot of stuff and multiple posts in a week should be expected & allowed. Ok let’s get the bad out of the way. Well I’m not going…

Finally some Amidala Progress
I don’t have a ton to post about today!! Mostly since I did a second post last week. We’ve had Kevin with us since Tuesday last week, so that’s been fun. I don’t know what this snapchat filter was supposed to be but it look like the Lunchlady’s yearbook picture. Friday Chase got off work early so as soon as…
