the heart of 90s guilt

Vacation is imminent. Please ignore the black bits on the floor. Our green luggage is reaching the end of its lifespan and everytime I get it out, more plastic crumbles into dust. I haven't used this wardrobe back since our honeymoon in 2008. Not a lot to talk about this last week, I did get the Star Wars dress hem pressed and I also made the waist sash. I mostly spent ...

please stand clear of my vacation

It's now that time period before a vacation where EVERY SINGLE THING is bothering me. Work is bothering me, people are bothering me, everything is bothering me because it's all standing in the way of my vacation. I barely have any pics to post this week so I'll sprinkle in some cat photos. Last week I mostly focused on finishing up my packing, triple checking everything. Thursday had a picnic ...

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 various groups and they're not actually people I know. And ...

there’s a great big beautiful tomorrow

Mondays aren't so bad when you have an impending Disney trip. I don't have any new sewing updates on anything even though I said I was going to try to start on Padme -- and even though I was off Friday. Instead I became a whole-ass new person over the weekend. I took off Friday for my lash appointment: the no-makeup before The no-makeup after I looooooooooove how they turned ...

and talk about the weather

I have just 8 more days of work before Disney. In those 8 days I am scrambling to have everything ready for work for me to be ABLE to go out of town without being stressed about it. I blocked off some time one morning this week to focus only on making sure all of the info for my coworkers is correct and make sure they have all the files they need. ...

easterrrrr

Good grief this weekend was busy. Busiest we've been since this whole pandemic craziness started. I bought this bunny years ago at goodwill because I felt sad for him. He's missing an arm and his hat is messed up. I was gonna fix him this year but didn't. I've left him out to fix one night this week so he'll be ready for next year. Saturday we got up early ...

Disney Projects Updates

Because I have anxiety brain and making lists of fun things is calming. Chip and Dale: So of course, Dale has been 95% done for ages now. I finally hemmed the top and put the zipper in last month, and finally finished the hat, too. So it's wearable as is, but I had wanted to do something other accessories for it, and also get new shoes, so... I bought a new ...

here we are again

Another week of fresh hell. I'm so tired of this timeline. But in good news my parents are getting their vaccine today and we have our second shot scheduled for this Saturday. Yay, I guess. I mean I'm glad to have it but the doom-loving news just keeps telling us that nothing will ever be back to normal even with a vaccine so I kinda just want to jump off ...

all for freedom & for pleasure

Well we are over here thawing out after the snow. When I posted Wednesday I talked about how much snow we'd gotten on Monday - well we got WAY MORE on wednesday! It ended up being a record - most snow we've had in something like 53 years?? Crazy! The backyard Wednesday night: The cove Thursday morning: So yeah Chase was off work again Thursday. He went in Friday, got stuck ...

i need a fix

Hey look I'm posting twice in one week. Because I've got disney on the brain and need to dump it all out in a post. So I'm feeling pretty good about our re-re-re-scheduled Disney trip (was May 2020, then Nov 2020, now April 2021) is actually going to happen this time. While I know there's still going to be restrictions and masks (ugh) I think things will have calmed down by then and ...
