    Eureka Springs Pics

    Just got back from Eureka Springs. We had a great weekend trip there, for our 4th anniversary. Here’s a few pics 🙂 Our room — We stayed in one of the rooms at Turpentine Creek, the big cat refuge. It was really cool. My parents visited there last year and really wanted us to stay there, they give us our…

    Seattle trip, ECCC

    We’re home! We really had a great trip. I got to see where Chase lived and went to school when he was in Seattle, see his friends who still live there, and the con was a lot of fun. I don’t have any pics from the “real” camera yet, but I’ll post a few from my camera phone. We got…

    Little Rock trip!

    I had a great weekend. Friday night went out with friends to a late dinner at Celtic Crossing, and then to a midnight showing of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It was a lot of fun to see it on the big screen, and hearing the whole audience yelling the lines along with the movie. Saturday I got picked…

    we’re home!

    Had a nice do-nothing weekend on our cruise 🙂 Here’s a quick recap. We got into New Orleans around 10 and was on the boat within an hour. We couldn’t get to our room until 1:30 but we were able to eat lunch in the meantime. We got into our room and it was really nice, much bigger than last…

    Stuck! at MTAC 2010

    We are staying in Nashville another night due to the flooding. We thought we could get out and home since i40west looked ok on the news. We kept looking for info on how the road looked past Nashville and finally heard the road was collapsed (and closed!) around dickson. So we are stuck. There are worse places to be stuck…

    Headed to MTAC

    We are about to head to MTAC. Well, in about 3 hours. I’ve got the car cleaned out, I’ll load it up in a bit, when Chase gets home we’ll hit the road. I’m going to wear Julia tonight. Chase is have to shoot some stuff (he’s one of the con photographers) so I’ll be tagging along with him playing…

    Away we go!

    We are all at work this morning, but leaving around lunch to go to the airport! I think we’re all packed. I hope! I was seriously scatter brained about packing this time around. I’ll try to post over the weekend. I think I got wordpress on my phone set up, we’ll find out tomorrow LOL Today’s princess is Padme…

    New York pics, and today’s art

    today’s princess is pink Aurora 🙂 Here’s all of my pics from NYC! I borrowed a little pocket size digital camera for the trip, which came in very handy and much easier to deal with than my Rebel, though some of the zoomed in pics are a little grainy. But there they are 🙂 (edit: Sorry, I no longer have…

    today’s art… Tinkerbell, and NYC

    To be honest, I’ve never been a big Tinkerbell fan. But I figured I’d give her a shot. So anyway, I thought I’d recap my NYC trip. I haven’t downloaded my pics off the real camera yet, but I do have a few iphone photos. I didn’t reread this post or spellcheck it, so I’m sorry if there’s any weirdness…

    House hunting again

    I hate house-hunting. But hopefully everything will go smoothly. We’ll know where we are by the end of the week – so we can see what our options are. BTW – here’s my twitter. I’ve gotten to where I use it pretty often. We are off to Metropolis for Superman Celebration this weekend. Lots of work left to do between…

    off we go

    we’re heading east in just a few minutes… everything is still not done… Chase will be working on it some more tonight. I’m trusting that we’ll get everything done and at least wearable for tomorrow – I’m not taking a backup costume. wish me luck I guess :B

    Honeymoon pics!

    I have been digging through a ton of photos lately – and we got our proof gallery from our photographer, but I’m going to save those until we get the full disc next week 🙂 But I did finally get all of the honeymoon pics up! So… here we go. Sunday morning after the wedding we woke up in our…

    Beach stuff

    Chase has a tennis match this morning… my parents are off running errands… so I’m home alone for once 🙂 We went shopping last night – Chase had gift cards leftover from his birthday, so he bought some new clothes for the honeymoon. I bought some essential stuff for the beach… sunscreen, travel sized toothpaste and shampoo, new sunglasses since…

    Back from my Birthday Weekend in Nashville!

    I’m back from a WONDERFUL weekend in nashville! Friday night we went out and got Chase’s new phone, then we went and ate at the Cheesecake Factory! I love eating there, we don’t have one in Memphis (that I know of), so it’s a treat. I had the vanilla bean cheesecake and it was soooo good, especially with the strawberrys…

    when i finally finished uploading paris

    Mel is in Paris right now!! Lucky… wish I was in Paris right now. I asked her to bring me back a hunchback… Speaking of Paris, here’s something for you, Ash – I don’t think you saw the link cause it was under a friends entry, but here’s our Paris pictures from last year. Yep, I finally got them online.…

    ugh planes

    Can I just be sedated until we get to Atlanta? We’re leaving for Dragoncon tomorrow, and I’m a bundle of nerves. For various reasons. Everybody keep your fingers crossed that everything goes ok tomorrow! But anyway, we’ll be getting into ATL around 4:30 tomorrow afternoon. I won’t be around the hotel that night, though – we’ve got tickets to see…

    On my way

    I shipped my boxes out yesterday – five all together!! Ugh, I don’t want to think about the cost. One was the big, big one that fits my Amidala Parade parasol – I also fit the cloak in there, as well as Ozma, for extra padding for the parasol. Two of them were 16x16s with most of my other stuff…
