its the dragoncon post

Ok let's get this thing over with! Wednesday morning we were up before the sun, headed over to Ash's house to pick her up. This was absolutely the tightest packing job we've ever had... That's my purple duffel bag shoved in sideways in the front, which resulted in my (somewhat pricey) makeup remover spilling everywhere. Thankfully I keep all spillables in a bag but i had to wash everything else ...

and we’re back

This morning was the first time my feet HAVEN'T hurt going up and down the stairs in our house, and I've regained feeling in the little toe on my left foot. Unexplained bruise, scrape on my ankle, and spots of eyeliner i still can't get off are still hanging around, along with a non-stop migraine I've had since before dragoncon. Anyway, this will not be my recap post -- I'll ...

a 4 day weekend and nothing to show for it

Like seriously I don't have much of anything to post today. I had big plans for the weekend... I took Thursday off, and had Friday off. Pretty much everything got derailed. One of the main projects I wanted to work on this weekend was redoing my closet. I didn't get to do that because... oh wait. Did I ever mention our plumbing issues here? I can't remember and I'm too ...

Into the great wide open

I have meant to make a post ALL WEEK but it kept slipping my mind. Last week when I posted I totally forgot to include the photos from the Padme Lake dress shoot! So ever since I kept meaning to come back and post them but here we are... over a week later. But I do actually have more content now to post than just the Padme photos. Let's start ...

im trying my very best

This is going to be me this week. Because my boss is off at the trade show I usually go to also, so I'm captaining the office this week. And stuff always goes bonkers when she's not here. I'm ok with the trade-off though. So I actually didn't get to get a lot of sewing done last week, because we had something going on EVERY night! What the heck! Went ...

Dragoncon 2019 Wrap-Up

It's my favourite post of the year! The post where I get to recap Dragoncon and post all my fav pics. So Wednesday I went into work early so I could leave early (2), which ended up not being necessary... I'd pretty much gotten everything packed Tuesday night and all I really had left was stuff like my toothbrush, medicine, etc. So I ended up just taking a nap til Ash ...

a few last minute pics

AHHHH god I still have to work today. I'm off at 2 and we'll probably hit the road at like 5 or so, so we won't be into Atlanta until very late. I figured I'd post my last handful of progress photos. Finished necklace! Well, mostly, I was about to glue the necklace chain in place. Chase got the mother of pearl sheets cut into the shapes and attached, edges painted gold. ...

risk category 5

We are officially in risk category 5, but I have achieved my state of clear. Everything is pretty much done at this point. Now it's just struggling thru half this week at work until I can set my out of office and I'm on the road. Friday afternoon I got my hairs re-redded. And brows waxed. Slowly emerging from the August chrysalis state. Still pampering my face trying to get it ...

friiiiiiiday update

So first a Chase update. LIke I said in my last post, he ended up having to call an ambulance and go to the ER. My parents were thankfully able to sit with him until I got off work. They did another MRI and gave him a ton of pain meds and some muscle relaxers and by the time he got discharged that night felt like nearly normal. Very little ...

who was phone

Well. Chase was feeling a lot better last week. Was able to go to my cousin's wedding reception Friday night (he just stayed in a wheelchair), Saturday he was able to walk around and do his own stuff and and even came upstairs once, and that afternoon drove my car to Hobby Lobby (he stayed in the car while I went in). He was careful not to overdo it and ...
