Two posts in a row?!
I knowwwww I just posted yesterday and normally I try to put more space between posts BUT yesterday was a big day. And it IS DragonCon season which means I’m working on a lot of stuff and multiple posts in a week should be expected & allowed. Ok let’s get the bad out of the way. Well I’m not going…

I didn’t realize I hadn’t posted this week…
I usually post Monday and apparently I didn’t since I posted on Friday last week. So I guess that trend is continuing. I have a lot of random stuff to talk about so I’m going to break this into sections. Costume Stuff I have no costume stuff to talk about… yet. Taking a small break after finishing Tink and Peter…

a hairpiece!
So as I mentioned earlier I’ve been trying to put together a hairpiece for my Queen Amidala costume. This is something I’ve tried to do for ages — finally attempted it in 2010 but gave up. So here we are again. Trying to make a hairpiece for a 12 year old costume. But if I can make this work it…

just a little weekend blurb, and an old picture.
Had a great weekend in Nashville. Went to Cheesecake Factory, the Container Store (so excited – we don’t have one in Memphis but we went to the one in Little Rock for my aunt’s birthday last year LOL), Antique Archaeology (the American Pickers store), and then spent the rest of the night filming video for Ryan’s concert. Had lunch with…

when we did the big scoop
So what’s up with me, you ask? I did something to my foot last weekend. Every single one of my costumes had uncomfortable shoes (the worst being Hild, Phoenix, and Anna) and it was a LOT of walking. So my feet were still numb by the time I got back. Well my left foot is still bothering me. Mom thinks…

Dragoncon 2003 pics!
I’ve been a zombie all day. I feel like I haven’t slept in days and I’m so sore! But yes it was all worth it! Friday we got up at 4:30 and started getting ready. Cath got to my house around 5:30 and we took off to pick Ash up. We got to the airport, checked our baggage, and then…

when i couldn’t focus because dragoncon
I am a nervous wreck. I’m up at 7 AM because I couldn’t sleep thinking about this weekend. I’m skipping my classes today – I would be completely useless. It would be pointless. I AM going to work though, that will keep me busy with things I need to do and may also calm my nerves. If I were off…
