Well, I do have a lot to post today. But none of it is picnic Padme progress related, because that got completely derailed momentarily. Skip the next 2 paragraphs if you don’t want to read about dentist stuff. Had a dentist appointment Wednesday afternoon. I thought it was just going to be a slap on the hand for not coming…

sorry for party rockin
We are back from LA! And exhausted! We hit the ground boots running and never stopped until we were on our own couch last night – where we passed out right after dinner. So let’s start with Tuesday, when I picked up Kevin and the last of his stuff to pack and brought him over to our house for the…

boy oh boy
Do I have a lot to post about today! Well back over the summer I decided I did not want to be home for Thanksgiving. I looked around for cities that we could road trip to that we hadn’t done before, and decided Asheville NC fit the ticket. My parents decided to come with us too! So we booked an…

post-dragoncon dump
I may not be in the best mental place to be writing this but I need to do it before I forget everything. 24th Dragoncon is done and in the books. We left before dawn Tuesday morning. Before After Parents first time at Bucee’s! Check-in was smooth. The news of Taylor and Travis’ engagement broke just as we were pulling…

help i’m still at the restaurant
Ew my wordpress updated and the layout is all ugly! Well here is another Disney trip report. Surprise! We went back to Disney this past weekend. The January trip weather was SO BAD that about halfway through the week, we basically stopped spending money and set it aside to come back another time. We booked a bounceback deal as soon…

it’s the disney trip report
HI. We are back from Disney and I want a do-over, LOL. The weather was actually worse than I anticipated. Forecast was showing us a few days where the upper temps in the afternoon were high 50s/60s, so I thought that’s shorts weather for the boys, I’ll be fine in the warmer stuff I brought with me. Nope. Weather was…

word vomit
Well this has been a shit 2 weeks since I last posted. On top of the obvious shit news, my uncle (Kevin’s dad), passed away Thursday after a short stint in the hospital. I still have not wrapped my head around the new reality of Daddy Bob being gone, much less this. It’s a lot. I got a new friend.…

dragoncon persists
Well I’m back from dragoncon. It was a weird time. Good? But weird. I felt off the entire time. I did a really bad job at taking pics of my costumes and I’m kicking myself for it now. I also had a ton of plans for videos and didn’t do any of it. It was like I only had a…

Art of Disney Costume Exhibit
This is a continuation of my last post! We left Huntsville around 10 and drove to Birmingham instead of home – because we were going to the Art of Disney Costume exhibit at the Birmingham Museum of Art! I took a ton of photos and I’m not going to post everything here – HERE is the whole gallery! Disclaimer… I…

HSV Expo Wrap-Up and What-nots
Before I jump into the weekend photos, I’ll cover the few things from the week before… I’m going to have to get more fabric to finish the mock-up for Padme. I do think I finally figured out the hood pieces — I transferred the hood and cape mockup pieces to paper. I still need to figure out fitted sleeves, the…

half way to dragoncon
We’re back from Atlanta! We went down to celebrate Chase’s birthday. But, as usual, let’s start at the beginning. Finished Honeymoon Leia FINALLY. Just got to put a closure on the belt and add the 3d printed pieces Chase is working on. And it needs steamed really bad because it’s been manhandled like crazy the last few weeks. Luna says…

~the cruise report~
Yall I had over 1500 photos to go through when we got home. So it’s taken me a hot minute to get everything lightened (every iphone photo inside had to be lightened…), uploaded, culled, etc. So let’s dig in! Thursday 2/15 we got up bright and early and hit the road. I felt SO BAD the entire time leading up…

The New York Post
Get it? The New York Post? Haha Sorry I didn’t post last week; didn’t have much to say and we were busy getting ready to leave — but I will make a separate post of updates after this one, just to have the vacation content separate from everything else. So let’s start with Wednesday! We went out to my parents’…

Well another Dragoncon has come and gone. It was a good year and somehow I didn’t come home feeling like absolute crap? LIke my feet are still sore and my little toes are still slightly numb but otherwise I don’t feel as exhausted as I usually do. Anyway let’s recap it all…. I can’t remember if I posted our badge…

new york, new york
We are BACK from vacation. Chase said today he didn’t feel like he usually does when we get home from disney, like he needs a “vacation from his vacation” but I sure do. I’m exhausted, my legs are sore, and my face is chapped from walking around in the cold. And I’m stressed but that’s a story for another day.…

what a drag it is getting old
Last week was Las Vegas for work. It was exhausting. I didn’t take just a ton of pictures this year because it was all pretty much the same. Here’s the view from my window: I ended up having Lobster Bisque at all 3 client dinner meetings we went to in the evenings. I ranked them all at the end. Dinner…

Oh hi blog
Sorry I haven’t posted in a while! Been busy… my birthday and then Las Vegas! Let me go back through my phone photos and see what I’ve missed. I got some very important fabric and a very important pattern (no clue what I’m doing with any of this, I just got it all for the stash.) And then I had…
