it’s another post with no content
Hey look it’s Monday again and again I have nothing of interest to post today. I had wanted to finish up Sleeping Beauty this weekend. I did not. My eyelets for the bodice were supposed to arrive Friday and they didn’t. They show delivered but they’re not. And amazon won’t let me report it until tomorrow because they seem to…

white & nerdy
Chase has JURY DUTY today!! I’m so relieved somebody OTHER than me finally has jury duty. But at the same time hoping he gets done quick and doesn’t have to be down there all week. Because going downtown for that everyday sucks. Especially today, it was raining all morning and he had to walk a couple of blocks from the…

I’ve been uploading some old costume pics from my external hard drive, just as a back-up, mostly. Some of them I haven’t seen in YEARS. Heres a handful of ones I found funny or interesting; I’ll just post a few now and some more later. This one cracks me UP because Kevin is passed out asleep behind me. This was…

Upcoming
I had to do a fabric store run for class the other day, and while I was there noticed they had the patterns on sale. I picked up the Simplicity Padme Battle suit/Aayla Secura pattern, the Jedi pattern, and also the McCall’s Lavender Nightgown pattern – I might throw that together for MidSouthCon next year, I like the pattern 🙂…

So anyway, onto more interesting things, I have been at MidSouthCon all day. It’s been fun! Padme has held up well. I’m at my aunt’s house now, waiting on Cath to catch up to me.

when i found some dcon pics
Dragoncon put up their official gallery, and I found these two of me and ash that I loved !! This one, back a ways, and darker than the others, but I think it looks really neat. And my dress looks all cool flowing behind me here. And this closer up one, which looks like it’s from the same photographer that…

when i got a bonus point
Hee!! There was a Rincewind at dragoncon that I didn’t see! I wanted dad to go as Rincewind but he hasn’t read those books. I think he’d do it if I really wanted him to… so maybe next year? And here’s a nice one of me & Ash… I really like this pic. I got a bonus point in class…

when i was sick, i cooked
OH there’s my hat! I am sick. My throat hurts. A lot. I am very tired. I think it’s post-dragoncon stuff. Why is it whenever I don’t feel good I cook? Earlier today for lunch I made one of those instant ramen packets. After a few bites I threw it out, and then went back and made mashed potatoes. I…
