Two Tales of 90s Child Abandonment
I can’t remember what it was that made me think of one of these stories, but then while I was thinking about I remembered… hey I kinda got left somewhere by myself for a long amount of time probably around the same timeframe. And stuff like this doesn’t happen anymore without somebody calling the cops or CPS but back then…

My Fav Podcasts
Yes it’s 2 posts this week again! Wow! (And you may have seen this post up earlier this week… I’d originally meant to schedule it for Friday 7/5 but accidentally published it earlier and didn’t catch it til later. Guess I could’ve left it but I like to space things out, so I went in and rescheduled it to post…

In which I comment on old costume lists
Going back through some of my oldest posts about costumes I want to do and I found some hilarious ideas and notes and thoughts. I am going to comment on some of these. Here’s some costume ideas I wrote down back in 1998… I underlined the parts I find funny. [quote]Costume Idea #1. Chun-Li. So it’s been done to death.…

Oh Lyman!
Yesterday apparently a lady with a first name similar to mine and a last name similar to what i go by on the internet bought a new car in Oxford, MI — I know this, because either she or the dealership misspelled her email and I’m getting the emails about it at my kelldar gmail. I had to tell myself…

Random Weekend Stuff
This past weekend, Chase went east to see some friends, and I went to have a Mema weekend! Yay! Saturday we went shopping and hit up one of the closing Hancock Fabrics up there. Right after we left I saw the news on my phone that the rest of the Hancock locations will be closing. I’m so distraught, I can’t…

This week
Work is pointless this week. I just want it to be Star Wars, and then I just want it to be Christmas. I feel like I didn’t even get a Christmas last year, what with Indy being sick and all. It’s CHRISTMAS! And STAR WARS! And I want work to just be quiet so I can STAR WARS but noooooo…

LOL
Who the heck posted my stupid Sims 4 Pitstain Family story on facebook??? I’m cracking up. Conclusion to their story was I got bored once they got in the big house and stopped playing again. The End. LOL

The Zombie Apocalypse
This morning I was awakened by a loud thunderstorm. Lots of wind, thunder, rain. I love cuddling back up into bed with storm going on, so I was happy. But the weird thing was, just last night I had checked the weather app to look at this week’s weather to see if there was any rain in the forecast –…

Flickr Sets
I just organized some flickr photos into their sets and got to wondering which of my albums have the most photos? Kevin – 1,422 SDCC 2006 – 937 Dragoncon 2008 – 880 Wedding – 858 In-Progress – 821 My Kevin album has the most because I try to collect ALL of my Kevin pics in one folder so I’m not…

A new car! *cheer*
I spent Saturday buying a car! I was hoping I still had my blog post here about buying the bug back in 2003, but apparently it was on my regular blogger site, which I don’t think I ported over to this (I still have them all… somewhere). The MX3 had died and I bought a brand new Beetle — apparently…

Papa
My grandpa, Papa (“Pawpaw”) passed away early Sunday morning. Been keeping myself busy and the family has been together pretty much nonstop, so that’s been good. Back at work today, which is harder than I expected.

Curating
I like putting things in order. I like organizing my DVDs but theme and then by colour. This isn’t like some people, “teehee I like things in order I’m so OCD” — I do have some obsessive-compulsive tendencies, which I won’t go into! I don’t consider organizing like this part of that – I call it “curating.” And that’s what…

Car, etc
I forgot to post about my lovely incident last week. So Tuesday I’m on my way home, Kevin is with me, we’re going down the interstate 70mph. When I hear a LOUD “blumph blumph blumph” – my front passenger side tire blew out. Luckily I was RIGHT at an exit and was able to throw my hazard lights on, roll…

Dreams
Over the weekend, I had a weird mash-up dream where we were at Disney World and then at Dragon Con but neither place was the ACTUAL place. (Most of my Dragon Con dreams take place in places that are not the Dragon Con hotels. But in my head it’s Dragon Con. It’s often strange hotels/convention centers/mall mash-ups I’ve never been…

Heeeey
Sorry I haven’t posted in a few days. Last week was crazy. My grandfather had surgery to remove the cancer in his neck on Tuesday. He’s been fighting this stuff for a year. The surgery went longer than planned because they found more than anticipated – it ended up being a 7 hour surgery. I went up and sat with…

Luna & stuff
Luna is almost all grown up. And while she’s calmed down pretty significantly, it still feels like we just have this random wild animal living in our house sometimes. Haha. For Valentine’s Day, we bought her a big present – a big kitty jungle gym. We’ve been wanting to get her one, because she loves being high up. We had…

Random Annoyances
When I see someone post a costume photo and it’s labeled/titled/described as nothing more than “cosplay girl.” (bonus if there’s absolutely no costumer/photographer credit, either.) It’s not just one person or website doing this. I’ve seen it for years, multiple places. In some cases it may be a case of not knowing who the character is. But generally, no. Instead…

FAQ Friday: The Worst Costume Advice I Can Think Of
I’m tired of trying to give good advice, so here’s the worst costuming advice I can think of. 1. Don’t waste time doing research The best costumers just jump right in and make awesome stuff happen, like magic. 2. Don’t have a sewing machine and a needle and thread takes too long? Try Elmer’s Glue Don’t waste time trying to…
