this is halloween

Whoo! It's been a busy few days! First up, we finished the new tombstones! Gravestones? Headstones. What is the best term. I like Tombstones best. And we got some lights for night time. Thursday was the Pink Palace event. After work I decided I had time to take a quick nap before I got ready. Took my nap, went to start doing my makeup and for the second time could ...

halloween hijinks

oh god that's such a stupid subject line but i'm sticking with it. I've been dealing with a cold since tuesday! Ugh! Friday it progressed into "i'm coughing so much i can't sleep/breath and I feel like I'm going to break a rib." Mucinex is my best friend right now. House stuff is at a "hurry up and wait" point. Inspection was Wednesday. Waiting on sellers to OK/do ...

Photoshoot Stuff!! Part One

Sorry I haven't posted this week! It's been busy! This past weekend we did the symphony event -- which I'll talk about the next post -- and we'd originally planned to do this photoshoot before we left for the event Saturday night. But my tiara wasn't quite ready Saturday, and there was yardwork that needed to be done before the storms set in on Sunday. So we moved the photoshoot ...

Disney, Again

So we finally got to go on our rescheduled October Disney trip! Thursday we left directly after work, drove to Atlanta to spend the night. Our usual overnight hotel in Columbus was booked solid, so we had them move us to one in Atlanta... and it was not great. (When I said "Oh then just move us to one in Atlanta," I expected the one in downtown near the Dcon ...

Link and a parasol

So to finish from my earlier post, Sunday we ran errands, and packed. And I ran over to Kevin's house and picked him up so we could go over his Link costume stuff. He hasn't worn it since 2013, so we needed to make sure everything still fit and worked ok. He's wearing it to Mickey's Not So Scary thursday and I didn't want to get there and discover his pants ...

Dragoncon Pics Part 2, Tightrope Walker Updates

Chase sent me over his pics he took at Dragon Con - not many, but got some nice ones of my Tightrope Walker. Getting ready in the room (standing up after putting my shoes on, looks like): Trying to fix that one weird pleat before we took photos: Full length: I'm not so sure I like this photo yet I do like the photo. Such a conundrum. This one is ...

Dragon Con Photos Round One

We're back!!! Ok so I don't have much to share in the first post. But it's enough to recap Saturday at least. Friday I took off work, finished packing, cleaned the house, went for a swim: Tiniest Dragoncon load EVER. Saturday morning we loaded up the car and were on the road by 6 AM. We got into Atlanta right at 1, though it took us another 20-30 minutes to make it ...
