I Did Anyway

Just so you all know, I opted to enter tomorrow's office costume contest anyway. Against my better judgement, having no consideration for past experiences. We'll see what happens this time around.

More Things Getting Done

I am nearly finished with a project I've wanted to work on for two months. Yay!

I need to stop staying up late like this though. I think it's time to revisit my to-do lists, now that I don't have the faire to worry about. I've got to get better organized. I keep wanting to wait for a day, but that day just isn't coming.

I'm Done

After slaving over the sewing machine, I've finished this years costume.

Now, the real question: do I enter the office costume contest (kicking and screaming), or stick with my principals?

I'm not sure that the victory of two years ago is convincing enough....

All Hail the Crash Blossom

Here is a lovely article about the phenomenon of newspaper headlines making no sense and meaning something entirely different than the intended meaning.

As a linguist myself, I'm so glad that we finally have a term for this occurrence!

Closing Day

Since I didn't finish my costume, I resurrected my steampunk costume from last year. Fox has a picture, I'll make him send it to me, because I know I still haven't posted it up for you. So sorry, dear blog readers!

On the bright side of things, this was the last day of faire. I'm happy to be getting my weekends back. This was the first year I had three jobs during this run. It was almost more than I could take, but I did it. Go me!

I've got a ton to do before I get to bed tonight. I'd better get to!

Not More Rain

It wasn't as cold as last Saturday, but it rained. A lot. And my skirts were silk. And wet silk against your skin is gross.

Thankfully, my dad wanted to buy a pair of pants, so I made him buy them and I wore them.

At least tomorrow's weather is supposed to be nice. It's good to have nice weather on the last day.

Seriously Running Late

I totally wanted to be in the car and heading home by now. I was hoping to finish my costume so I could wear it on the Day of Wrong, but I still have an hour of work to do, and I have a few other things to do before I get on my way for the weekend.

So much to do!

Smile Breathe Smile Some More

The sunrise this morning was breathtaking. It lit the dark sky with a rosy aura in the East. Remember to breathe.

Maybe a Litte Distraction

Now that all my outstanding orders are complete, I can focus on other things. I can finish my Halloween costume that I started on Monday. Or, I can try to give my back a rest from hunching over the sewing machine and instead hunch over my lap desk making Art Cards for no reason other than I want to.

Yeah, logic went on without me today!

However, my Art Cards are cute cute!

Back to the Job

Ah, my job! My provider of food and shelter! The location of that rectangle where I spend most of my time! The keyboard with its letters rubbed off! The distant sound of the coffee machine signaling that the wake-me-up brew is fresh! Ah, my job!

After a long vacation, the only thing I can really do is be thankful that I have a job that makes vacations so wonderful. It wouldn't be a vacation without a job.
