cinagelSo stuffy...so VERY stuffy! UGH! I hate allergies...or whatever this is in my face.
Eh onward to other things.
Cindy's Birthday weekend was full of win and awesome. It wasn't anything hardcore, which was FINE by me. But I managed to do everything I wanted to do, which made me happy. Friday I went to LA with Colleen and Eilidh to fabric shop. I TOTALLY splurged and it was SO worth it. I ended up getting tons of linen to work on my up comming Tudor basics (Max bought me a copy of The Tudor Tailor:)). I'll also be making some court pants for Max in Linen as well. I also found some BEAUTIFUL Green taffeta with red undertones that will make a gorgous Victorian. I found that for $2 a yard! So I picked up 10 yards of that. hopefully soon I can get started on my Victorian. I really want to have one ready for the Gaslight Gathering coming up in May.
Saturday, Max, Me, Mark, and Ty had to run up to Potrero to check out some war stuff. On the way we stopped by Barrett Junction for some OH so yummy fish fry! Then that night we went to Burke and Beth's for their Champagine tasting party. Lou gave me a dice bag shaped like Cthulhul's hea.d Maw hahaa! LOVE IT! We managed to get home before the two of us ended up rip roarin' drunk.
Yesterday I had to work on my birthday but it was all good since that night Max took me to Creole Cafe! YAAAAY GUMBO! Mark and Ty tagged along as well. I was craving gumbo all week so this was awesome. The Creole Cafe guys comped our drinks and also gave us a huge helping of birthday bread pudding in whiskey sauce. Overall? Very fantastic and awesome birthday.
Other Stuffage:
I'm starting to get back into bellydancing. Seriously I have REALLY been loving to learn! Granted I've only been learning via DVDs right now. But I"m hoping that I'll be able to go to som real lessons sometime soon. Unfortunately my weeks are jam packed these days so its hard to fit in a class. But the DVDs are decent. I have two right now that are ood at breaking down the movements step by step. But I could use a couple other DVDs just to learn other moves and techniques.
If anything, its keeping my fat ass in shape. *L*
Finished The Hunger Games Trillogy. And I'm sure most of my gal pals will disagree with me but I absolutely ADORED all three books. I haven't found myself that engrossed in a series since Harry Potter. Its brutal. HORRIBLY brutal from start to finish. But keep in mind I'm a horror fan so this really works for me. Okay Twilight fan friends, now I understand your obession. I'm feeling the same obession for The Hunger Games....I'm forcing Max to read them now. He so far seems to enjoy them. I've totally turned into a Hunger Dork. God help me.
My dad is getting inducted in to Community College Hall of Fame this coming weekend. Max and I will be hitting the road to go see him get awarded. Going to attempt to buy a new dress for the occasion. This is of course, time permitting.
Currently debating what I want to do when I get home. Sew? Play on the computer? Work on my Dollhouse some more? So many choices!! So little time! I have had project ADD HARD CORE lately.
