i am thankful for short work weeks

Oh hi here I am back again with absolutely no Utena updates. My red fabric is supposed to arrive today finally. Then I have to get my brain back up to speed on the project. I know it's only been like 2 weeks I haven't done anything on it but that's long enough for me to forget where I was going with it. Tuesday last week we went to see the ...

Another Christmas come and gone. This one weirder than most. I was sad leading up to Christmas, I was sad on Christmas, and now I'm sad it's over because it's the only thing I had to look forward to. At least I have a 4 day weekend coming up this weekend. Anyway let's start with Eliza updates because she is done! Just under the wire to be a 2020 costume. For the ...

life goes on man

First off I went ahead and added Arwen to my portfolio even though I don't have pics of me actually in it yet. I did take a video Friday: I took a few days off sewing after finishing Arwen, and this weekend finally got back into stuff for Eliza. Started disassembling the curtains which was easier than I expected - I have 5 ready to go and 1 more to take apart. ...

she’s not there

Having a 4 day weekend was GREAT. Especially since because of... the current world situation... we didn't go anywhere or do anything. Just did stuff around the house and took naps and ate good food. Last week I pulled this costume out for a tiktok video... I posted said video Thanksgiving day and it promptly bombed. It's so frustrating; my account engagement has just been TRASH since joining the creator fund. ...

migraine nation

It's that time of the year... the time when the weather can't make up it's mind and leaves me in a migraine/sinus headache hell for weeks on end. I've had an off and on migraine since last weekend. A lot of it has been in my neck which makes me wonder if it's also stress. Or the way I'm sleeping on weird pillows (my pillow system is all messed ...

so long 2019

and good riddance! This year has been a doozy. I'm ready to start 2020 on a good note. I did post last week but it was just my year in review, so I gotta dig back and see where I left off. Let's separate this one into chunks instead of going day by day. 1. SEWING! I'm starting with sewing even though this is my Christmas post, because, if you saw my ...

my brain doesn’t work

I swear my brain has just ceased all function since starting to work from home. My days are all mixed up. My weeks are all mixed up. How is Christmas in 2 weeks? WTF. I haven't bought any presents at all. I haven't hardly thought about it. What is happening?!?! I am in a constant bubble of confusion. And work has been crazy the last week because my email was down ...

What a morning it has been! Craziness at work! And what a week it has been! So much to talk about. I'm going to save my Disney trip report (wait, what?!) for another post. This post will be alllllll Christmas. Sunday was kind of a lazy day. We sat around, I recovered from my marathon of an Orlando trip and finished wrapping presents. We went to see Mary Poppins Returns ...

Happy New Year!

GUESS WHAT! My blog is 20 years old now. It's in college. My earliest blog posts were late 97/early 98 and the oldest post I was able to track down to reupload was from January 8, 1998. I think next week I will do a big post about it for its birthday! So anyway, this weekend was rather lazy. Mostly because it was SO cold. Like seriously it was in single digits?! It's never ...

I have gazillion things to post

Wow I didn't realize it had been so long since I last posted. Almost 2 weeks ago! So where to start... We saw TLJ again on 12/17 with Ash and Gabe. I wore my Hoth Leia vest and boots and wore my hair braided up. I was sitting on a bench in the lobby waiting on Chase and this little boy came up to me and said, "I love your outfit!" And ...
