    Halloween 2007 Pics

    These are all from saturday 😀 First we headed over to the Grotto to takes pics of Wonder Woman. As I said before, since I was already going to be wearing it that day, and Saturday was what I thought was probably going to be our last warm day (it’s not, all this week is going to be warm, yay!)…

    ZooBoo Pics

    Memphis ZooBoo was LAME compared to the Nashville zoo. We basically just wandered around, got free ice cream sandwiches. Chase got some attention, a handful of photos with kids, but I might as well have been wearing normal clothes (I was in Leia, since it turned out too cold and drizzly last night for WW or Belle) We had fun…

    Superhero thoughts

    I asked Chase which should be my next superhero costume – I gave him a choice of 4 – Zatanna, comic-book Starfire (which I’ve wanted to do since doing the Cartoon Network version), Power Girl or Scarlet Witch. He didn’t like Power Girl, which I didn’t expect him to, he wasn’t too keen on Zatanna, either – he said Starfire…

    Sunday Parthenon Shoot

    We got up Sunday morning, got packed up and set off to the Parthenon. We had quite a good turn out! Besides me and Chase, we also had Supergirl, Poison Ivy, Lara Croft, slave Leia and Boba Fett. So we had a great time taking pics. The weather was perfect, the wind was whipping (and a few times would suddenly…

    Horrorfest and Nashville Zoo Trooping Pics

    This week has been very hectic at work, I just finally finished editing the photos from this weekend and got them uploaded today. So we drove up to Nashville Friday night, had an awesome dinner with friends. 🙂 Saturday we got up, and I put on Belle, and Chase and I headed over to the fairgrounds for the Nashville Comic/Horror…

    “MY… SANDWICH!!!”

    So yeah my wireless is even working at home. It’s amazing. Of course, it still does the “die whenever it gets tired of working” deal, and it did so 5 times last night, but its better than fighting dad for the desktop every night. But now onto the real news. SOMEBODY THREW MY LUNCH AWAY AT WORK YESTERDAY!! (made me…

    Belle progress pics

    On the left, the dress as it was on monday. On the inside, every seam was pinned up, so it looked really lumpy LOL. Also no zipper yet, and I had just pinned up the hem once to give me an idea of where to cut the excess off. On the right, as of last night – almost done –…

    when indy puked

    I had such horrid dreams last night, I guess leftover from how crappy I was feeling yesterday. All after Chase left at 6. Then to top it off, mum wakes me up before she leaves at 7 to tell me Indy has been ill in the living room again, for the second morning in a row (not good), so then…

    Belle updates and Halloween plans

    The blue dress is finished, except ironing. Got it all taken up, hemmed, and the sleeves fixed. The white shirt still needs the cuffs on the sleeves and the collar. Other than that, it’s finished. I’m regretting my fabric choice on the shirt, though. Already! Geez. So, the upcoming Halloween-related events: Friday – leave for Nashville Saturday – Nashville Comic/Horror…

    getting nothing done, except some planning

    Last night I dug around in the costume closet, found the 2006 blue Belle dress, and pulled the apron out. The apron was fine, it was with the dress I didn’t like, so yay – I have an apron. I can’t say I have an apron with NO work involved, because it was a pain in the butt to climb…

    Engagement Pics!

    The engagements pics went well Sunday, outside of my being sick the entire time. We met up with Pete, our photographer, downtown, and we took photos in front of the Orpheum, on Beale Street, and on the roof of the Peabody hotel at sunset. From what I could see of them in his view-finder, they looked pretty cool. He said…

    LOL wut… weird comments

    before I crawl back to bed, had to share this gem from myspace: “Do you OWN all these costumes you wear?? Are they your husbands??? and WHERE ON EARTH DO YOU THEM?? I’ve looked all over but can’t find some of those you have.” Yes, all of my girly costumes are Chase’s. what?? I mean, what?? on top of that…

    Typical. + Belle progress

    It’s not silly enough to post the whole thing, but just for the record, I’m not selling my Hoth Leia 😉 You know it’s funny – there are a few costumes I’ve thought about selling in the past. I’m not going to, but I’m not going to say the thought hasn’t crossed my mind. BUT – the ones I’ve thought…

    LOL. a 5 year hammock

    So I’ve apparently been at my job for 5 years, and when that happens you get a certificate and a choice of gifts. There was about 20 things – I ended up picking the hammock. I don’t know why that amuses me so much.

    Buying wedding stuff

    OK, I really, honestly was not trying to go for a Beauty & the Beast theme – and I’m still not. I was trying to keep it out of the wedding as much as possible, because early on, Chase told me he didn’t want to be thought of as a “beast” at the wedding, which I can understand LOL So…

    Engagement Pics already

    So we had from Pete, our photographer – he asked if we could do the engagement pictures this weekend. The “D:” is just because I realised I’m not prepared for it, have no clue what I want to wear, etc, etc. But the timing is fine, actually better, really… I’m excited to see how they turn out. We’re going downtown……

    Halloween silliness and Wonder Woman pics

    The annual Halloween emails/messages have begun. So far hit up: Belle (would i be willing to commission one for halloween), Stitch (how u make that mask i wanna make 1), She-Ra (been looking everywhere, would you be willing to sell yours?) and oddly enough Marion (do you rent your costumes, because I need a Marion costume…) I think I’ll keep…

    Today…

    Today was supposed to have been a do-nothing, go-nowhere, stay-at-home and finish some stuff kind of day. We woke up this morning and Chase said, “Let’s go to Cracker Barrel for breakfast.” I said fine, so off we went. After that, we were just going to go to Sports Authority or Dick’s (if Dick’s was open yet) so Chase could…

    More Dragoncon 2007 pics

    I added about 40 more Dragoncon pics to our gallery – basically I was bored at work, went back through the photos I didn’t use (either because they were too similar to ones I’d already posted, weird, or blurry, etc). I found a few more to upload – here’s a few of them. Cath’s breakfast saturday morning. Yay for smiling…
