    Scary Stories part 2

    I forgot this story and something just reminded me of it so I wanted to share it! As you may or may not know, when I was in high school/college I lived in the middle of the country. We lived in about 3 acres and had about 3 neighbors within walking distance – all 3 older couples/retired with no children…

    work, work, work

    This weekend was kinda busy! Friday night I got all my costumes ready for the photoshoot, which was supposed to be on Saturday. I burnt myself on a glue gun so bad I got a blister! That’s a first. Saturday morning we ran errands, but then it was too cold for us to shoot, so I went to work cleaning…

    People saying all kinds of nice things to me today, CosElite included me in their list of Belle village dresses and made my day (PS, CosElite is awesome, go check them out) and then GallifreyDeathZone posted some of my Doctor Who costumes with some very nice comments! My ego is going to get too big for it’s own good at…

    More cleaning

    I don’t know what’s less interesting, photos of my puzzles or photos of cleaning. But! I worked in my office last night and got my sewing table cleaned up and put up some new shelves. Still have one more little shelf to put up on the left over there, drill ran out of power before we could finish. While looking…

    FastPass Barf

    So this morning I got to go make our FastPass+ reservations and I was all excited… until I actually started trying to make reservations. Part of this I’m going to chalk up the fact I didn’t completely do my research. I read about it partly; and I made some assumptions on how it worked. Some of it is just the…

    Christmas, again

    Christmas day was fun but exhausting! Woke up at 6:30 because poor Indy had wet her bed. Clean-up and a quick bath ensued – she was ticked off about having to have a bath. We watched the Disney parade and then headed over to my parent’s house for breakfast and gifts, before going to my aunt and uncle’s for a…

    Christmas!

    Got to leave work an hour and a half early yesterday, so spent a nice night just finishing up presents. Indy was being snoopy as usual: The tree last night… And Chase made these pan smores last night and they were GOOD: Then spent today at my Mema’s house for Christmas! My little American Girl doll-sized dresses thankfully fit. Here’s…

    The saga of my sunglasses

    So I am really bad about sunglasses. I’ve never been into them that much – I’ll occasionally buy a pair, and then either decide I look silly in them and never wear them, or forget them, or lose them immediately. Never really mattered since I don’t care about sunglasses anyway. Well one day while swimming at my aunt’s pool, it…

    OMG

    Something today made me think of The Heavenly Horse from the Outermost West by Mary Stanton. I was OBSESSED with that book, and it’s sequel as a kid. I was digging around on deviantart today and there’s actually FANART. Not a lot, but it’s there. The 9 year old in me is overjoyed. I think I need to dig up…

    Halloween is one week away…..

    Do I have time to rush-make a complete costume for your Halloween party? You’ve waited til exactly a week before Halloween to ask, and you want it for 1/10 the price of what I would charge even IF I did commissions? Oh, so now you’re asking to borrow one of my costumes? So, overall, the answer is…

    Disney Excitement

    I have developed a code system so I can relate to Chase how excited I am about our upcoming Disney trip. Code Purple: The moment when we agree we can start planning our next trip. Code Blue: The quiet moment of joy that comes when we’ve paid off our trip. Code Yellow: Those moments when you’re thinking about something else…

    story of my life

    My (old) job, for a long time now, was like reliving the beginning of Rumplestiltskin over and over again. I’ve felt like the miller’s daughter, being locked in a room with piles and piles of straw and told to turn it into gold. And everyday, by hook or by crook, I managed to get it done. I went home tired,…

    see-saw

    When I was a kid, probably 6 or 7 years old, I had this giant metal see-saw. I mean when I was a kid it looked huge, it had these big handlebars on the sides that probably came up to around my waist if I were standing next to it. At some point I got it in my head that…

    Voices Carry

    I loved the song “Voices Carry” by Til Tuesday when I was a kid. For YEARS I thought they were saying, “Hush, hush, keep it down now, this is Carrie.” It wasn’t til I was in my teens that I realised it was “voices carry.” DUH. And when “Livin La Vida Loca” came out, the line “Lips are devil red”…

    Me & Walt

    I love how whenever I get emails from WDW about our reservation, gmail shortens the conversation so it looks like this: Yeh, just me and Walt talking about my vacation, nbd.
