Also, I get to chose my own thank you gift, all emblazoned with the county logo. So far I'm leaning toward the "Excel Saddle Brief", which appears to be some sort of messenger bag. ( Read more... ) -

I am THIS Nerdy.
Spent the first part of my day sewing the outer tunic for my new Jedi robes. Almost done. Just need to hem and attach sleeves. After that, I just have to make the hooded cloak. That will take me about an hour ( Read more... ) -
Bob the Self-Esteem Chicken says, "Low self esteem is for losers!"
Least Attractive Personality Traits
1. Bigotry (Seriously, you're an idiot and you need to get away from me...and everyone else.)

Brides of March - 2012
It was year three of Brides of March, and here’s how it went:
Saturday, March 17th
All of my friends who were excited about going have bailed. The weather is supposed to be nasty. Also, I have yet to get confirmation about where and when the gathering is. My sister’s awesome dress and newly acquired poofy underskirt take up a corner of the ( Read more... ) -
"Now we raise our wands, and flick to the left!"
Just realized I never posted a trip report from my trip to the Universal Resort in Orlando!
We flew down on a Sunday and returned Thursday, which was really just long enough. We had time to do everything we wanted to do, twice, with ample time spent lounging around at the Hog’s Head drinking pumpkin juice and eating chocolate cauldrons. Our hotel ( Read more... )
