Updated Perky!
Sorry I haven't been updating...friends got me hooked on Prince of Tennis and I am now on episode 102 (out of 178!).
Let's see...Halloween was great. I went to a friend's house for a sewing party and got to play with the trick-or-treaters. The mimes were great! Only the little girl dressed as Supergirl spoke :-) I had fun with the Ninja, though...answered the door, claimed I didn't see him and shut it again. LOL! (Okay, then I gave him candy; I was having fun, not being mean!) I also got to play my favorite trick on a couple of groups. Someone else, watching through the window, would give me a heads up just before a group knocked, I threw open the door and yelled trick or treat before they could! Hee! Such fun!
Went to the combined MiniCon/GameDay thrown by GameStorm and Kumoricon. It was such fun! I even played a couple of games :-) I think everyone had a good time, too! The costume contest was such fun...Ally and I MC'd it and we asked each contestant a silly question (they varied...no one got, "Who shot first?" right, but some of the answers were good.) Best Answer went to Domo for the question, "Who is better, Pirates or Ninjas?" After he responded that he would eat them both, we altered it slightly to, "Who tastes better?" Hee! He said it depended on what he was in the mood for...for example if he wanted some sweet and spicy chicken, he'd go for a Ninja! LOL!
Been sewing up a storm. And ripping out seams and sewing some more, *sigh*. But my White Queen outfit is almost ready for the party this Saturday (and Orycon the following weekend). It's a lot of hard work, you know! And boy, do I need a portable sewing machine! I love my old Necchi, but it's in a cabinet...not very portable! Hopefully I will have pictures soon :-)
And then there is my health. Okay, I started at 317lbs. Now I'm at 266lbs. That's a drop of 51lbs! Yay! I'm almost halfway to my goal weight of 200! My doctor keeps referring to me as the Perfect Patient, 'cause I keep doing what she tells me to do. We put me on some Western Meds though, 'cause even with all that, my blood pressure three weeks ago was still at 178/106 (Booo!) Last Tuesday...my right arm was at 144/83 and my left was 129/80. My first reaction was, "That can't be right!" But it was! Woooooo! Yay, even!!
In other news, my temp job ended :-( But I enjoyed it while it lasted :-) Off to find more work, now!
I've been trying to get out and walk more...been pretty easy with the unseasonably warm weather we've had this last week! Hopefully I will keep it up as the weather changes :-)
Well, that's it for now, I guess...*hugs her flist*
