it’s a very monday monday
Actually it was a very-Monday Sunday too. But work has been vicious today and I’m already over it. Luna did not make this mess. I did, she only sat in the middle of it. I’m a bit stuck on Utena at the moment. Got nothing done this weekend except I cut out the sleeves and collar. I spent about 3…

hello strange person
So here’s a fun fact about facebook for you. I’ve been trying to “lessen” my facebook footprint for a while, deleting photos, removing anything personal, and the other day I decided to start removing pages I’ve liked, especially since I “liked” a ton of random cosplay pages back in the day when doing “like for like” things with people in…

this is halloween
Whoo! It’s been a busy few days! First up, we finished the new tombstones! Gravestones? Headstones. What is the best term. I like Tombstones best. And we got some lights for night time. Thursday was the Pink Palace event. After work I decided I had time to take a quick nap before I got ready. Took my nap, went to…

no time off for good behavior
October has really gotten away from me. Here it is less than a week from halloween and I still haven’t even finished decorating. We have made good progress on the tombstones for the yard though. Here’s one with the text dremeled out: And painted up: Chase glued the stands on this morning, so they should hopefully be ready to go…

now dont close your eyes and dont try to hide
Fall is finally here, I’m bundled up in the baja sweater I got in arkansas, sweatpants, house shoes and a big blanket today. It’s a bone-chilling 57 degrees out right now LOL. Speaking of the baja sweater, I have realized I am slowly falling back into my 1995 fashion of over-sized XL fandom tshirts, hoodies and baja sweaters. If I…

may the odds be ever in your favor
It’s an extra post this week because i’m still riding the adrenaline high of the Marriott Hunger Games this morning. I was successful and got our room through a lot of shaking and heart pounding (WHY IS “ORGANIZATION” A REQUIRED FIELD?). Only thing I’m concerned with is that I used a card I usually only use in emergencies – decided…

post-vacation ennui
We’re home after an amazing long weekend getaway with the family. Wednesday night I finished up packing – was told to bring our D&D stuff, so I needed an extra bag for it – what better than the bag my parents used for the D&D stuff in the 80s? Then thursday morning it was off to Hot Springs! We headed…

what year is it??
I think I mentioned last week we’d been having internet issues? I can’t remember. Was having issues UPLOADING mostly, downloading was fine but — for instance on friday? It took TWO HOURS to upload a tiktok video. Geez. We’d have occasional internet blips too, wi-fi would stop working for a few seconds, maybe a minute, and then come back. We…

treat yo’self
The days are changing – the sunlight in my work office in the morning is absolutely killing me. It’s reflecting off the glass of my desk and directly into my eyes. I’ve had to pull up the ends of the curtains to lay across the glass to block it. And this is why, last week, I built a blanket fort…

life, the universe, and everything
HI it’s my birthday!!!! Already getting off to a “FUN” start, work has been completely insane the last week and continues to be so. But today is a birthday I’ve been waiting for. For years, decades even, I have wanted to do a Hitchhiker’s Guide themed birthday for my 42nd birthday. Well obviously because of the state of the world…

Dragoncon Part 2!
Ok I was hoping to have this post up last week, but Chase had a lot of trouble exporting the photos and I was only getting them in chunks. I think I’ve got all of them now, or at least, most of them. Might be a few more stragglers. Besides uploading pics, last week was absolutely crazy at work, and…

back to fake life
I started to title this “back to real life” but I realized doing something normal like going to Dragon Con is real life. Going back to the day-to-day of the last year is the fake life. So — Dragon Con was actually pretty great. I had my reservations, as you may have noticed in the last post. But the low…

dragoncon is nigh
I’ve decided I’m officially considering this dragoncon #20. Actually I take that back. Going to wait and see how the weekend goes. if it sucks this is dragoncon #19. If it’s great it’s dragoncon #20 LOL. This year would’ve been #20 if they hadn’t canceled last year — but i DID participate in the virtual con last year so I…

crying wont help you praying wont do you no good
oh hello. Can you even believe it’s dragoncon week? I can’t. My brain isn’t registering it. Still not done with everything. Still chipping away. Well Padme is done. I got the 3d printed buttons glued onto bases, painted and attached. Here they are before any of that. And I finally finished up the wig. Although once I finished it, I…

its dragoncon week
I blatantly stole this from the dcon fb group. The BIG news is that I finished this effing skirt. It’s all sewn down. I really pushed myself to finish this ASAP, in fact, I’m SORE today from the weird contortions I had to make while sewing on the upper level. So the timeline of the physical making-of the floral skirt…

im worst at what i do best
I love how I had an extra YEAR to work on these dragoncon costumes yet here I am finishing everything up last minute and half-assed. Literally all last week, if I wasn’t at-work-working, eating, or sleeping I was working on these floral pieces for Padme. Last week I said it was about half scissors and half hot knife – well…

thats me in the spotlight
T minus 2 weeks and 2 days til dragoncon. How did it sneak up on us so fast?? You know things are bad because I haven’t packed “the old stuff” yet. Chase and I are trying to quasi-quarantine before the con, only going out when necessary. We’ve both still got hair appointments in the next week, and we’ll have to…

dangerous but irresistible pastime
I recently cleaned out my folder where I keep all my photos for my blog posts, there are some in there that have been there for ages. Among them I found this one: My sweet girl Speaking of cozy puppies, Skye stayed with me for a day while my parents went on a day trip. First up today I have…

here we go again
I am right back in the deep hole of sadness and anger I was in back in like April 2020. Mostly because of the CDC mask announcement last week. I am so tired of all this. Also because my boss let us know last week he is leaving the company and I’m completely bummed over it. And dragoncon announced their…

high strangeness
Here we are beginning the last week of July. It’s not a great Monday as it is, I have a migraine and 2 conference calls today which means my brain is basically saying “no” to any other work. I swear a call may only be an hour long but my brain is like, we have to build in an hour…
