The Saga of the Running Shorts
So I recently started Couch to 5K and, as the weather quickly got warmer, I went pull out some of my exercise shorts to wear instead of the track pants I’d been wearing. Turns out none of the shorts I have have pockets! Totally not useful since I need to be able to carry my keys, phone, etc. So off…

Kindle
So year before last, the whole family went in together and got my grandma a Kindle. She reads a TON, and ends up with a giant stack of books she gives away or donates every month. So we all thought she’d really like a Kindle – we could set up wifi for her, and she could buy and read books…

The Red Folder
I’ve had this red leather folder I use for travel. I think my aunt gave it to me before I left for Dragoncon 2003 – or SDCC 2004? I know it was one of the two. Since then, I’ve used it for every major trip I’ve taken. Everytime I go to put stuff in it it’s always got the last…

Random musings
Why is Star Wars costuming so over-sexualized? I’ve noticed it for a while, but tumblr really brought it to my attention recently. So over there on tumblr, I have a handful of tracked tags. I don’t look at them all that often, just if I’m really super bored, usually. Some of the ones I have are: “doctor who cosplay” “lord…

I have 2 modes
I have 2 modes: 1. DragonCon mode 2. DisneyWorld mode I am one or the other at any given point. Obviously before DragonCon I’m in DragonCon mode. And right before our Disney trip (like now) I’m in Disney mode. Whichever one I’m in, it’s all I can think about it and I know people get tired of hearing me talk…

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…
