Kevin’s Fairy Tale Theater
Today at work I was sleepy and told Kevin to tell me some stories to keep me awake. He kept stalling and saying he “couldn’t remember” so I just kept pushing him and telling him to make it up if he didn’t remember. This is what he came up with. Kevin’s “The Little Mermaid”: There was a little mermaid named…

Sewing Room updates
I worked on my office last night, mostly organizing my patterns. I had too many that were in large ziplock baggies so I spent the evening squishing pattern pieces into my usual smaller baggies. Then I put them all away in my new bench! They didn’t all fit, though 🙁 But I got the majority of them in there. They…

Decorating & Christmas shopping
Friday night Chase and I decorated the house. Chase put up the tree while I put out everything else, we had Elf on the TV and I baked some cookies. It was fun 🙂 Here’s a few crappy cell phone pics. Not a lot new on the tree this year. Nothing geeky (didn’t see any we had to have from…

jerkwad puzzle
So now that the coke puzzle is done, it’s moved off the table and I opened up this thing: I have NO IDEA how long I’ve had this puzzle. Years. Probably since the OT was rereleased in the theaters – 97? (yep, just went and looked and it’s from 1997). I must have picked it up at the comic book…

Coca-cola puzzle!
This one went WAY too fast. But I like it a lot, I think we’re going to put it up in the hall bathroom after I glue it. I don’t really have anything else to talk about. Decorating the house tomorrow, christmas shopping this weekend… yay 🙂 I’ve uploaded some old videos to youtube, they’re all from like 2004-2006 because…

I put Donna Troy & Sleeping Beauty up today: I’m a little annoyed that people are IGNORING my puzzle pics on flickr, and instead looking at and commenting on stupid costume pics! So here, LOOK at my puzzle pics!!!!!!! Man I can’t believe people aren’t going crazy over these puzzle pics. Tomorrow is thanksgiving. I am thankful for my husband,…

Photoshoot: Zatanna and Black Widow!
sorry I haven’t posted recently. Haven’t had much to talk about. Been sick off and on, some head cold. Missed seeing HP at midnight cause I still felt bad and Chase was still in the middle of it. Still haven’t seen it! 🙁 Went to the zoo saturday, first time we’ve made use of our zoo memberships 🙂 We took…

working on next year’s costume list
I’ve printed off pics of all the costumes I’d like to do next year, to try to narrow down the choices. I’ve got it down to 13, and I intend to pare it down to 10. So far I’ve got – (and yes I’m being secretive until I’ve decided for sure) Rogue #1 Rogue #2 Wonder Woman-based character Disney character…

colorforms
“Shrinkydinks” were just mentioned on my twitter – I had a few of those, but what I really loved were my Colorforms. I can’t find pics of the She-Ra or Rainbow Brite sets I had. Those were so awesome… but I found a pic of Smurfs set I had. Man… I know they’re still in my parent’s attic, but that’s…

Food I Don’t Like
1. Pizza I grew up in the “OMG PIZZA” crazy 80s when every kid wanted to eat pizza non-stop because of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I mean seriously, every class party or post-sporting event… pizza. Usually Pizza Hut. Even then I didn’t care all that much for it but I ate it because it was cool, because the Turtles…

come to the dark sides, what’s up with cookies
Am I the only person who doesn’t get the whole “Come to the dark side, we have cookies” thing? I mean the first two or three times I heard it, it was kinda cute. Not really worth repeating. But I hear people say it alllll the time, it’s on like 30 different shirts. Why? I just don’t get the why…

computers & movies
Yesterday I finally got some new RAM for my computer which needed it BADLY. I got to enjoy it for about an hour this morning – Chase let Windows do its updates (which I never let it) when he installed the RAM, and so I think it was still installing stuff while I was gone all day. I get home…

pattern frustration
First step to cleaning up my office is getting control of my massive pattern collection. I just don’t have room to keep them in the plastic bins they’re in, it’s taking up too much room – I need to find a more space-saving option. I could possibly fit a small file cabinet or similar under one of my desks –…

i hate tile
This is going to sound weird but I really hate tile. I mean like tile on the floor, like kitchen or bathroom floors. It just grosses me out for some reason. It goes back to when I was little, and I would stay with my grandparents every day while my parents were at work, and my grandma’s kitchen was this…

MCFC 2010 – Ms Marvel Pics
Friday night, my parents, Chase and I went to the Mercy Me concert. It was fun, and I actually won one of their CDs by checking in on Gowalla LOL That was awesome. Saturday I got up and got into Ms Marvel for the Memphis Comic and Fantasy Con. We got down there a little later than we wanted but…

Halloween 2010 saturday
Started off yesterday getting up at 6am with a migraine, and getting dressed as warm as possible to go out to Race for the Cure. We weren’t running but went to cheer on friends, it was fun and our t-shirts turned out great – I don’t have a pic of one yet but I’ll post one when I do. I…

First up, Kevin’s Julia Child costume. Wig is his Napoleon…

end of an era
So, last night, I used up the last of my aisle runner. This thing: Super cheap shiny fraying white satin. I don’t even remember how many yards I ended up with. It was a LOT. I never expected to get it back, for some reason I never thought of that – but when we got home from the honeymoon, there…
