this week is a test of patience
Well this weekend was weird. To start off with, last night, I woke up in the middle of the night totally confused. We have a clock in our bedroom that shines the time up onto the ceiling. We haven’t changed it since daylight savings so it’s been an hour behind. I woke up at one point and was like “it…

MidSouthCon 2018!
I have Tinkerbell and Peter Pan pics! But first let’s back up to Friday. I had Friday off, with the intention of maybe going up to the con, but definitely for finishing Kevin’s Peter Pan. As it turned out it was lucky I had that day off because we ended up having to have a dishwasher repairman come by (our…

Two posts in one day??
I uploaded Kevin’s MidSouthCon pics from the digital camera already so I thought I’d go ahead and post them. HERE is the link to the whole gallery! I posted my Disgust/Wonder Woman snapchat but here’s Kevin’s matching Batman: This little Batman was the cutest EVER Full length: As I mentioned my petticoat is showing too much on the side; I’ll…

The most random post ever
This weekend was CRAZY busy… Well let me start with Thursday. I started pulling out stuff for our trip this week, and decided our one stitch patch on our park bag looked lonely, so I dragged out my patch collection to see what I could do. After some fiddling around with placement and seeing what would fit, I ended up…

MidSouthCon 2015
This weekend was MidSouthCon of course! (Warning: there is puke in the upcoming story.) It ended up being kind of a strange weekend. Our plans were to take Kevin and let him enjoy the convention while I was doing my panels and whatnot. We picked him up Thursday and he spent the night, then Friday I ran home at lunch…

Here’s my panel schedule: Friday 9pm: Wigs & Make-up Saturday 9am: Costuming Showcase and Q&A Saturday 1pm: Competition Costuming I’m sooo pleased with this schedule.

MidSouthCon!
Friday I ended up staying home from work with an awful migraine that was making me sick to my stomach – I don’t think the remnants of my head cold helped, either. Friday night I felt awful. So I was worried about Saturday! I had a friend’s baby shower to go to in the morning, and Chase’s birthday dinner that…

Stuff I’m thinking about wearing to MidSouthCon
We’re only going up on Saturday so I’m only wearing one (maybe 2, if it’s easy to change in the car) costume… I’m thinking about: 1. Donna Noble – because I’m lazy and this is the easiest costume to wear. 2. Valkyrie – might be cold. 3. Emma Frost – might be cold. 4. Marie Antoinette – i want to…

a few more MidSouthCon 2011 pics
Here’s some pics I found from friends from this past weekend. (pic by Glenn) my hair looked great friday. too bad it didn’t stay that way. I was really surprised by how many people knew who I was supposed to be – better than at Anaheim or Dragoncon, even. (At dcon people kept asking if I was a steampunk person.)…

MidSouthCon 2011 wrap-up!
MidSouthCon kicked my butt! But it was a great weekend. Didn’t get a lot of pics. Most of the pics we took were Chase’s he took in his photo booth, so I can’t post those. But I’ll post what I have. Friday I’m glad I had the day off, because I ended up having a lot to finish up at…

MidSouthCon Costume Thoughts
Last night – or rather, early this morning – Indy woke us up barking at 4AM. She never does that, and it freaked me out. It wasn’t her “Hey! Stranger!” bark, it was her “bored” bark, which was weird. All I can think is that she was dreaming. Ok, so I’m thinking about what to take to MidSouthCon with me.…

MidSouthCon 2011 Plans
With Seattle behind me, I’m planning for MidSouthCon at the end of the month now. I’ve been steady working on my new costume for it – I feel like I’m right on track to get it done in time. I’m pretty excited about it. Chase is doing quite a bit of it for me, and I’m excited to see the…

MidSouthCon 2010 found pics!
Went out with the girls last night – got home around 2am-ish. But even before that I felt a migraine coming on. I did everything I could to divert again but no luck, around 4am it kicked into high gear. Blah… and here I’d gone nearly 5 weeks without one. today’s sketch is Rogue. I don’t know when I did…

MidSouthCon 2010 pics
Our pics are here. There’s not a lot – I spent most of my time at the con either in the dealer’s room or in panels 🙂 I got my helmet for my Jane costume today, too. It’s a little too big, but it’ll do for now.

Random Leia pic & Insanity
I finally found one pic of Hoth Leia from Friday night at MidSouthCon, from laspector: Goodness my hair was everywhere. But anyway, today was day 4 of insanity. Cardio Recovery. The stretches were hard and I have trouble with balancing but the recovery is so much easier. Can’t wait til tomorrow! 🙂

MidSouthCon 2010 pics!
As I said there weren’t very many – but what Chase did take is here. I’m hoping to find a few pics of me as Hoth Leia from friday night to add to that set. Here’s a few of interest… A neat flying pirate ship, and me as Snow White… One of the panels. And a bunch of Wonder Woman…

MidSouthCon
I don’t have pics from Chase yet. He didn’t take a lot but I’ll post what I have on flickr later. For now all I have is this: Yesterday we both got off work a few minutes early, came home, and got into Hoth Leia. We headed to the con and got our badges, then ran back out and had…

MidSouthCon 2010 Schedule!
MidSouthCon starts tomorrow. It really snuck up on me and I’m not in a convention-frame of mind. I think it’s because it’s about 2 weeks earlier than usual this year! Anyway, here’s my schedule. Friday – 11:00 PM – Donning The Tights I had a panel friday at 5, but our regional manager is in town and I just can’t…

Giselle art, and MidSouthcon schedules
today’s princess is Giselle. I skipped this dress initially because I didn’t care for it in the movie, but for completeness’ sake, here it is. I tried all the pieces of my new costumes on last night (all i’ve gotten done, anyway), and was pleased. I intend to sew like crazy this weekend and have the bulk of it done…
