    when it was time for animal crackers

    Finally went and got mom’s bday present today. I even wrapped it (in Star Wars paper!), but couldn’t find tags so I just wrote “Happy Birthday Mum” in a speech bubble above Qui-Gon Jinn’s head. Also bought Carrie, because I’ve been desperate for a new book and Stephen King’s an easy read. What else? There was something else I was…

    Lulu wig

    My friend Kristie took my black Lulu wig to her hairdresser today to see what he could do about it. He said that it would take most of the hair to just do the bangs, and that the back was too thin. I already knew that… I mean, I knew the back was too thin. He suggested using my own…

    when the soft nougats got to me

    I finally tried this “Reese’s Fast Break” candy bar my parents put in my easter basket. I love reese’s, and I was hoping to like this but… ew! ok, not completely ew… but it’s too much like a snickers. It’s the “soft nougats” I think. It doesn’t taste like a reese’s at all. what’s up with that?! I am upset…

    when the goat smiled at me

    Ok, the wasps really don’t bother me as much as the bee (yes, there’s only one). The wasps mind their own business, pretty much… it’s the bee who has some kinda road rage. air rage. You know, he’s the big kind of bee, like the size of quarter, not a little innocent honey bee. I hate him, he dive bombs…

    Ash says I need to redesign my blog. I tend to agree. I’m going to redesign it and smush super freak out and my personal page into it, making them all one page, and move it to the extra domain stuff over, too). I just have to come up with a layout. I haven’t been very good with the layouts…

    when calvin got bit by a snake

    Boy! There’s a lot of stuff going on. point 1, My cat Calvin got bit by a snake, we think. Mom saw that his leg was swollen the other morning, and then when I came home, he had licked all the hair off from around the bite, and there were two great big holes right there. The size of the…

    when my hands were bad

    Just got a post in my elfwood gbook about my hands (er, that is, the way I draw hands, not my hands particularly LOL) : “The hands.. Oh, the hands… Please improve your hands. Everything else is great.” LOL, he should have just tossed, “oh, the pain!” in there, too. “The hands… Oh, the hands… oh the pain, the pain…

    when my jeans shrank

    I finally went to artisticalley and posted a few things. I was rather nervous about it. Hopefully there won’t be any “omg, I hate your art, it all looks the same, I hate you” sort of people. *shudders* I really don’t want to go to work or school today. I want to sleep! *yawn* I need to get in better…

    Ocha postponed

    I think I may hold off on Ocha until DragonCon, and go ahead and do Faye for Otakon. Reason for this is, I was planning on wearing Ocha on Sunday at Otakon. That way if the green face makeup stains my skin, it wouldn’t affect other costumes *g* But, we’re going to have leave the hotel at like, 10AM to…

    Lulu & Xiaoyu fabric

    Got some black velvet for Lulu’a top, but it’s not like, really velvet. Closer to suede. Looks nice with the grey I’ve got. Which reminds me, found huge bolt of the suede I got for the Lulu skirt and sleeves on the remnant table for 50% off. GAAAHH. Oh well, I didn’t spend that much on it in the first…

    Well, I’ve got all the SD contest emails sent out but one… that one will be sent out once I get home, so I can look at my notes and make sure I’m sending it to the right person! Gosh it was hard to pick. I’m glad I had judges do the dirty work. There ended up being six judges…

    when i wanted to make an eowyn costume

    Mom’s back from DC. She brought me back a monkey 😀 Think I’ll name it Chico. Sorry to spill a little cosplay talk over here, but… deal! I’ve been looking through all the Eowyn pics I’ve collected so far, and I’m really pleased… my She-Ra wig will work for it, too! Yay! In the handful of actual movie shots I’ve…

    Lulu Belt hunting

    Went to the salvation army yesterday in search of belts. Dad and I ended up staying for nearly 2 hours. They had all these bins of old record albums for $2 each. They weren’t in any kind of order so we just sat around going through them looking for interesting things. Dad ended up buying a Three Dog Night album.…
