    a thousand rainy days since we first met

    It’s been raining like crazy here the past couple of weeks. Which means it’s been migraine city as the weather shifts back and forth. This weekend was rather uneventful. I mostly worked on Chase’s suit since I was waiting on the new fabric for recutting the top of my dress. New fabric came in Friday but I was on a…

    i am ready for orlando

    Another month & a half til vacation but I’m ready to go now. The past few days have been nuts, I’m tired of cold weather, and I want a vacation! Valentine’s Day night, Chase cooked soup for dinner; he found a copycat recipe of Le Cellier’s beer cheese soup and made it. Last time we tried this it made a…

    it’s a very whiny post

    Ok this post is going to be whiny! Only because sewing was a pain in the butt this past week and then I had a DISASTER in my sewing room. But as usual let’s start at the beginning. Last Monday we got Kevin’s bed assembled! I’m hoping to paint it (the room not the bed) sooner rather than later. And…

    break out! before you get bum rushed

    So guess what! I actually did some sewing over the weekend. Not a lot. And I didn’t take any pictures. So uh… does it count? I’m not sure. Haha. But I’ll get to that in a minute. Ok so first order of business is I saw a news story that The Princess Diaries is getting a 3rd movie. And that…

    our shadows taller than our soul

    So it’s been another week of unpacking and organizing. FUN TIMES. But the past week I’ve really dug in on the sewing room, which was equally fun and equally frustrating. One of the things I ran across that I didn’t know what to do with was all of my CDs. I had a decent CD collection. But a lot of…

    oh wow

    Starting off with the art today because I have it open so it’s the easiest thing to post haha. This is based on a ROTS era concept. I tried it in some different colours but at the end of the day it’s a battle outfit and having it be purple really wasn’t working. I tried to keep some different tones…

    it’s been one week

    I really don’t have a lot that is interesting today except MORE HOUSE STUFF… of course. I’ve been unpacking, organizing, breaking down boxes for a whole week but when I look around it’s like I’ve done nothing. It’s so frustrating LOL Tuesday at work last week was like, the day from hell… so I decided to go home and treat…

    It’s the first house post of 2019

    At least I think it is. I’m too lazy to go look. So Thursday last week we TOOK POSSESSION OF OUR NEW HOUSE!! It was super exciting. I met Chase there as soon as I got off work, we had the alarm folks out to look at updating the alarm system that came with the house, and they got everything…

    it’s 2 posts in one day

    and that’s only because I totally forgot to come back and hit publish on my disney trip report post last week. So I published it this morning LOL. But, I don’t really have a lot to post about today. Last week after Christmas was pretty boring. Work was quiet and boring. Didn’t really do anything in the evenings. One evening…

    beautiful pain

    Sooooooooo I hinted at it here and there but didn’t out right tell anybody I was going to Disney World the week before Christmas. Part of it was because it was kind of a sudden decision, and part of it was because I wanted to keep it Ash’s trip! Last week was Ash’s birthday and we celebrated it in the…

    2018 Year in Review!

    Another year, another year in review! 2018 was a crazy year of packing and moving. Trying to make stuff in between packing, in between moving, while living with family with 90% of my stuff in storage, has been hectic to say the least! So to start off with, here are the projects I said I wanted to do in 2018……

    OK! So in my last post I talked about being done with the Little Mermaid costumes! Well, Monday afternoon I rode with mom over to the theater to help add some straps to the mermaid tops – even though the mermaids were all wearing black leotards under the tops they were still having some issues keeping them on and in…

    that girl sheds like a labrador

    THE PLAY IS OVER! It was really fun but I’m glad it’s over! I totally stole the pic in my blog header because it was a great pic of the whole cast showing the whole stage. Program cover which I drew in case you couldn’t tell. I had about 30 seconds of time onstage where I needed to look like…

Fancy couch (I want one like this) I probably posted this one last week but oh well. And at Overton: “I want to take a picture in that chair” And now on with the show. Monday I finished up…

    I don’t have a ton to post today. Despite Saturday being a con day. Last week was play practices, me feeling crappy, going to see Fantastic Beasts 2. This BP medicine they put me on is killing me, just a constant nagging exhaustion and headache all the time. Fantastic Beasts 2 was fun. Not my favourite but it was fun…

    Friday was PUPPY DAY! I rode with my parents up to Nashville to pick up my new “little sister”! I got off work early Friday and drove on up to my grandparents in Jackson. Met my parents there and hopped in their car for the rest of the ride to Nashville. Got there at 6:30 and walked into a puppy…

    poor unfortunate souls

    So this week was a lot of stuff to do with plays. Play practice, painting play backdrops, making play costume… Halloween itself was kinda lame. As usual. It rained allll day. I wore Garth to work though I left the wig off most of the day. I was going to change into something else for handing out candy that night,…
