    Summer Costume plans

    In a vague sort of order. 1. Poison Ivy I’m definitely doing this for Adcon in June — I’ve got boots I’m going to mod (hopefully, I need to get them out and see what kind of shape they’re in), going to reuse my Phoenix wig, and I’ve got a corset to mod on the way – should hopefully get…

    HSO event pics!

    What a great event! I’m so glad we were able to go. Chase and I got up early Saturday morning and ran some errands and then hit the road to Huntsville around 10:30-ish. We’ve gotten so used to driving to Nashville for events – and the drive to Nashville is insanely boring. 3 hours of nothing but interstate. Huntsville was…

    Cleaning Dyeable Shoes?

    It’s probably too late for me to do anything about it, but I thought I’d ask — I have a pair of Dyeables pumps, dyed pale yellow (they’re my Belle shoes). After 3 years, they absolutely filthy looking (especially thanks to trooping places like the zoo in that costume!) I’ve tried a little soap and water, but it’s not helping….…

    A few wedding pics

    Let’s see if I can post some pics before this medicine kicks in. Friday, the bridesmaids and I went to lunch together, and then to Paint-a-Piece! It was a lot of fun! (Only Melissa couldn’t be there, she was driving in from St Louis to be there that night) Cath painted a doggie bowl for Indy for our new place!…

Now off to cook out with Chase’s dad, stepmom and best man over at my aunt’s. Then tonight, finish the petal thingies. Tomorrow 9:45 – eyebrow wax D: Another Hobby Lobby run, and Target mess with the…

    when I got some glasses

    So I got some glasses picked out. Unfortunately the place in the mall was the not the glasses place I thought it was, so I can’t use my insurance there – so I’ll have to try to find something similar at some place that does. It’ll wait til after we get back. My vision actually hasn’t gotten all that much…

    license to wed

    Marriage license in hand 🙂 It was relatively painless. I don’t know if it’s the same everywhere, but the place we went had this GIANT, ancient book where the clerk had to fill in our names, date, age, etc – I was looking through it while she was on the computer (it’s right out front, it’s not behind the desk)…

    Weather, Showers, Etc

    The lingerie shower was really fun last night, we all had a great dinner, I got a ton of cute stuff (a good mix of things!), good cake, and then sitting around talking & telling stories for hours. I want to at least post the picture of the cake, because it was so cute! Also, I forgot to mention –…

    Poison Ivy costume?

    Out of the blue I kinda want to do a Poison Ivy costume. I realised I’m going to have all these silk ivy leaves leftover after the wedding (the ones that are going on top of our arbor at the ceremony site) – why not put them to good use? Also can reuse one of my red wigs and use…

    ZOMG… the wedding is nearly upon us

    If we were having the ceremony somewhere that allowed it, Indiana totally would have been in the wedding – look at “Flower Girl” and “Ringbearer” doggie t-shirts. I would be all over that, LOL. There’s some other stuff on that site I kinda want – it would probably come in time if I ordered today, but man, it’s so close.…

    Beach stuff

    Chase has a tennis match this morning… my parents are off running errands… so I’m home alone for once 🙂 We went shopping last night – Chase had gift cards leftover from his birthday, so he bought some new clothes for the honeymoon. I bought some essential stuff for the beach… sunscreen, travel sized toothpaste and shampoo, new sunglasses since…

    Holy Cow… wedding dress

    We went to pick up our dresses – and I tried mine on, and I simply cannot believe the amazing job she did on mine. She redid all the beading on both sides, and it looks perfect, like she never had to take it up 3 inches on either side! I’m so excited 🙂 If I can find a time…
