    dragoncon updates

    I know I just posted yesterday, it’s dragoncon season, I’ll post as much as I want. I came up with what I think is my finalized line-up. So let’s go through ’em, because I was finally able to order a ton of stuff yesterday and I have a better trajectory than I did in yesterday’s post. 1. Wanda Got my…

    dragoncon 2021

    I realllly was wanting to put together my dragoncon line-up for instagram the other day but I felt like it might jinx it. So instead here I am writing an extra blog post for the week because I’m having an irritating day and needed a nice distraction. Even though I kinda already went over this in a post a couple…

    wake me up

    Ok so Disney is over and normally my brain would automatically switch into dragoncon mode but this year, it’s not. 2020 totally effed up my natural brain rhythms. I am trying to get myself back into a pre-dragoncon mindset, but neither my body nor my brain is ready for it. I’m still physically tired from disney. I’m finally over my…

    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,…

    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…

    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…

    Dragoncon 2019 State of the Union

    It’s the rare second post in a week but I decided it was time to do a big ole’ Dragoncon post so it’s not taking up room in my next weekly post. 1. Dr Crusher! NEW and almost done! YAY! Seriously I got my lab coat material yesterday, it looked great, no need for dye, got it washed and dried…

    dragoncon blues

    HI! I’m home, and officially dead from dragoncon. So let’s backtrack to Thursday morning! I got up at 5:30AM and Ash was there to pick me up before the sun was even fully up. We drove thru Silent Hill. The drive was pretty uneventful. We got into Atlanta around 2. Getting the car unloaded and into the room was painless!…

    Uggggggggh I’m back at work today and feel like a zombie. Came back to a TON of stuff too so double Uggggggggh. BUT! It’s time for this year’s Dragon Con recap. So Chase had originally planned to be doing a scooter trip that weekend, so we were both going to be out of town – but Hurricane Harvey put a…

    i wanna go

    Where’s my Joey “I Wanna Go” gif? There it is. The past two years when we haven’t been doing a “full” Dragon Con I’ve been totally fine with it up until it’s upon me. I’ve been totally fine with not being there today. Up until today. Now I’m not ok! Especially since I’m sitting at work. 1.5 hours down, 6.5…

I just wanna GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO seeing everybody already on the road or already there is driving me crazy. I’ve got everything packed and ready to go, except the headdress since I’m still hand-sewing on it… I’ve got a space left for it…

    Dragon Con Thoughts

    So as I’ve mentioned I won’t be there Thursday – we aren’t coming in until Friday morning, we’ll probably get into town around 1 and after getting to the room, getting our badges – probably won’t be “done” and ready to actually do stuff til like 3 probably. At the moment, here’s what I’m definitely bringing: The Pink Thing Mon…

    Ruffles

    Today has been weird. Early this morning somebody in one of the offices in our building was WAILING… came out in the hallway just sobbing. Crying went on for several minutes. It was unsettling and got my hackles up. Obviously something awful happened. I brought a change of clothes with me to work – because I cannot get myself up…

    Dragoncon Thoughts

    So yes, I’m doing DragonCon this year. A little more than last year but still not going up to the full week we used to do. Planning on driving in Friday morning and home Sunday night, staying in Cat’s room. Ash is probably going with me, Chase is staying home. So at the moment I’m thinking of taking: Bespin Leia…

    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…

    When I’m stuck at work and everybody else is at Dragon Con Ugh! I’ve been totally OK with it up until today. Seeing everybody arriving and missing out… I thought Friday would be the tough day but no, it’s today. I repleated my Tightrope Walker skirt last night. Went faster than I expected. I got my suitcase for Disney repacked…

    The Disney and the DragonCon

    I haven’t posted much lately… haven’t had much of anything to post! Went to my grandma’s for the weekend. Came back Saturday just to go to the Ren Faire with friends (I said I’d do it… I did it)… this time I wasn’t messing around. No attempt at curls, just a ponytail. Much better. Threw my flower crown I got…

    Dragon Con 2002 Look Back

    I know I’ve done similar before… and this won’t be just a rehashing of my original “con report.” A couple of weeks ago when I was looking at old Hermione photos for instagram, I was flipping through them and thinking, “oh yeah, that was the night before I left for the midnight show, I refused to wear makeup or a…

    Monday again

    Happy Monday 😛 It was a busy, yet not busy weekend. Friday night I sewed on a skirt I’ve been planning to make for our next Disney trip – just now getting to it. Saturday morning I did an event at our local Bricks & Minifigs store for their 2nd anniverary, it was a lot of fun, they had a…

    More Dragoncon stuff

    Some more of the Leia pictures… There were so many great Star Wars costumes there this year… but it’s been so long since I wore a Star Wars costume at a con that even while I was dressed as Leia I’d just walk right past them without thinking about it. Then later I’d be like…. I was dressed as Leia!…
