    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…

    Anime Blues Con Post – Part 1

    HI! I have a lot to post today. It was a long weekend! And it all started Thursday night, Ash and I had tickets to go see Trixie Mattel! We went and had dinner first and then headed over; we had pretty darn good seats (like 7th row center I think?). It was miserably hot in the venue, the chairs…

    ANNOYING

    OMG since Wednesday our AC at work has been making this AWFUL noise. It hasn’t gone out (thank goodness, still nice and cool in here), but it is making this grinding, shuddering noise interspersed with LOUD BUZZING! And of course the unit on the roof is DIRECTLY above my office so all day long I get the brunt of it.…

    YAY it’s done!

    Despite that title, I’m starting with art today just because I have a bunch to untangle from last week. Including a HOUSE INTRUDER, a LOT OF SEWING, some MOVIES, and DOG-SITTING! Since last post I’ve only focused on knocking out Clone Wars stuff. Here’s what I kept calling “Loyalist Committee Lite” I totally just used the skirt embellishment from my…

    well so much for that!

    After my excitement about maybe going to Star Wars Celebration next year in my last post, today I have to let all of the air out of the room. Since then all the 5 day passes have sold out, as well as Saturday only. We were going to have to wait on tickets til we got Chase’s bonus at the…

    This weekend was busy. Friday night was more work on the house, I got a little sewing in, but mostly it was getting ready for Saturday morning’s yard sale. Saturday we were up at 6AM. Chase ran and put the signs out and got breakfast. We’d put on the ad that we were open at 7 but of course people…

    Hooray for 3 day weekends! Not so hooray for spending pretty much all 3 days packing and moving stuff D: Yeah I don’t have a ton to talk about today because this weekend was like 85% packing, cleaning, and moving stuff to the storage unit. We really focused on the garage and got a lot of it cleaned up and…

I’m going to carve this post into sections, since I have multiple things to talk about. CRAIT LEIA Ok I’ll start with Leia since I’ve already said something about it. I had…
