My day of working at home has turned into "Day of Looking for Stuff." First I had to find all my Susan stuff. I haven't worn it since 2003, so it was spread out all over. The corset and skirt were together, at least. One boot was where it was supposed to be - the other was hiding. One of the laces is missing from the corset - no clue where ...
Terry Pratchett is the guest of honour for MidSouthCon next year!!! OMG, right here in my own hometown! Will have to drag Susan out, replace the cape, maybe make a new Death of Rats? zOMG!
I finished my Susan Sto Helit costume and have added it to my portfolio!
I've been a zombie all day. I feel like I haven't slept in days and I'm so sore! But yes it was all worth it! Friday we got up at 4:30 and started getting ready. Cath got to my house around 5:30 and we took off to pick Ash up. We got to the airport, checked our baggage, and then had a couple of hours to wait. We had breakfast at McDonald's, ...
I am a nervous wreck. I'm up at 7 AM because I couldn't sleep thinking about this weekend. I'm skipping my classes today - I would be completely useless. It would be pointless. I AM going to work though, that will keep me busy with things I need to do and may also calm my nerves. If I were off today I don't know what I'd do all day, just wander ...

I'm back over here on the local journal because cosplay.com's journals are down for a bit. Once they're back up I'll move any new posts made here over there... Updates on Dragoncon costumes: Amidala is nearly finished - my headdress is done, I just need to style the wig around it. I need to add some velcro to the back of the necklace, and attach the petticoat to the ...
Ok, I have a bunch of stuff to hit so bear with me :D -First and foremost, I updated lunatic dingo again last night! -Secondly, I have a bunch of email to go through, I'm hoping to get to that today. -I didn't go to the doctor last week :D Not 'cause I skipped, but because at the time I was supposed to be at the doctor I had to ...
