Welcome To The Circus Of Terror!

It got slow again...
The pic above is actually in Disneyland. We stopped by the D-land on our way home for lunch and to ride Pirate's of the Carribean and Indy since it seemed appropreate.


( On With The Pics... )

I have a few more left over wedding favors sitting about. I threw the candy inside them out  because they were getting stale but the chests are really cute.
Here's a pic. They're the tiny chests to the right. I have green, red, pink, and teal left.

If you're interrested in one, lemme know. I'd be happy to send them out to people who want em. :)

Just watched the raw footage of our wedding video.
I have such kick ass friends.
I have such a great family.
I have such an adorable husband.

Seth wants to hump our machiiiiiiiiiines!!!

I loved the wedding. I adored the honeymoon.

For the mildly curious here's just a few pics I stole from Ty.








Trust me...I have a LOT more I've been swiping from people. I'll put up more later more than likely along with Honeymoon madness pictures.
Max and I spent Saturday and Sunday opening gifts and trying to find places to put them. Suprisingly enough, we managed to find storage for all of our gifts IN our place. Who knew? Granted, it took some creative thinking. But we did it. I think my favorite new addition to the apartment decor is the beautiful wooden chest that Lady A and Master Robert used for us. It has a cooler inside so we can use it for wars and tournies. It also makes a fabulous piece of furnature.

People also gave us money...LOTS of it! Thank you to all you peeps online who sent us gift cards and money orders. They were VERY appreciated!!! I will be sending out thank you notes a plenty this week! We had plenty of cash for our honeymoon and lots to put into savings as well as some to help with after wedding bills. Thank you so much all!! I'm really lucky to have such generous friends.:)

But Honestly? I am SO glad its all over now. For one, I get my free time back. Max and I are getting back to rapier practice and back to bike riding again (which we had put on hold for about two months).
And now that my free time is back, I'm getting back onto my sewing horse. WOOO!
I desided to start work on my first Italian Ren. I drafted the bodice pattern yesterday and cut out the mock-up. Going to fit it tonight, tweak, then cut it out of the actual fabric if I have the energy. So excited to get back to sewing again! If this first Italian Ren. comes out, I'll finally work on the orange and blue one I've had been planning for at least a year.

I also want to get fabric shopping for my steampunk costume. Ty and I were batting the idea of hitting the swapmeet this coming Saturday to see what fabrics we can find for steampunk/garb fun. By then I'll have money soooo...

Also, I have NOT forgotten that I mentioned perhaps doing a steampunk photoshoot in Old Town San Diego. Who would be interrested in doing this? Old Town is a perfect place to do the whole Wild "Weird" West style steampunk.

ALSO!!!
I followed Ian's advice and started my costuming blog. I figured what the heck? It actually might motivate me to keep sewing and working on things. So feel free to watch!

There's nothing on there at the moment. I will probably post pics of my Italian Ren, in progress in the next couple of days.


Can you tell I've been on a sewing kick?

Halloween unfortunately is going to the wayside since I have no time to put together a decent costume and Max is working graveyard shift that day. So for the Maiden Halloween party I'm putting on one of my dresses I wear to work, carrying around a manilla folder with the Stark Industries Logo on it and going as Pepper from Iron Man...because its easy and I won't have to buy anything.

In OTHER news.
Our museum store has finally gone online. WOOO!
http://www.mcasdstore.org/
I love the stuff in our store. There are tons of awesome gifts in there and what is online is only a fraction of what's available...but they put some really clever stuff online.
Here are some highlights:
Walking timebomb tie: http://www.mcasdstore.org/cytitibo.html
Kick Ass Jewelry (I have been wanting one of those porcelain key necklaces since I started here): http://www.mcasdstore.org/jewelry.html
Anthropomorphic bacon: http://www.mcasdstore.org/shakybacon.html

Okay, this post is getting WAY long.
More photos to come. And more Reports on the last few events.

...you have been warned!!!

So Yeah...
DEAD TIRED!
But I got a lot done.
Mom and dad flew in yesterday and treated Max and I to dinner.
Leelee, Ryan, and Danny drove in this morning. I got to say hi when I took my dad to get his tux.
Julie flew in this afternoon and we went straight from the airport to doing errands. I just dropped her off at Gabe's about 30 minutes ago.
And now I'm just Draaaaaaaaging.

Oh Crap...Um...anyone attending or in my wedding party want to pick me up a silver Sharpie for my guest book? O.o

I really can't believe that this weekend in my wedding. O.o
Its so weird!
Its not bad, its extremely exciting and awesome...but weird!
Max and I have been engaged for over two years so actually having the wedding happening is really awesome.
Its going to be a great party. I'm so excited!!!!!

So this will probably be my last post before I head off to wedding/honeymoon land.

Thank you everyone for the well wishes! You all rock!

Holy cow..going to be a Mrs the next time I post in here.

So today is offically the one week mark.

I work Monday and Tuesday Then I'll be off work until next Monday...because my butt will be in Vegas..;)

Things are so far under control. Despite being pretty much flat dead broke for this week? I'm hangin in there. (BTW, if you are wanting to get us a wedding gift, money for the honeymoon is what we covet!)
I border on zen and insanity lately which is a very hilarious thing to watch.

I had my Bachlorette party on Friday night and OMG what an AWESOME time! Ty even got us a "party van" that Mark drove for us so we weren't at the mercy of the trolly schedule. It was a great evening going down town. wyngdlyon Introduced us all to the beauty that was Dublin Square, a great Irish pub down town that had great drinks and a great band playing. We all sang along so loud that half of us were horse by the time we got back to Ty's place. I did manage to sober up and get to sleep in my own bed. I think by the time I finally passed out it was 4am, two hours before Max got home from his shift at work...I haven't stayed up like that in YEARS! It destroyed me but it was SO worth every single second. Ty aka rogue_78 is awesome since she organized the entire event. I worship you, Ty!

We're going out to Hoolies tonight to celebrate Ty's Big 3-0! Unfortunate we can stay long since Max has to work tonight but we're going to stop in to give our birthday loves to the sexy fabulous Ty.

After that I plan to pass out in exhaustion after drinking lots of orange juice in an atempt to keep as healthy as possible...possible Lush bath may be wedged into there.

Hey Guys!
A while back, in this Entry http://cinsangel.livejournal.com/599330.html A couple peeps volunteered to help with the reception set up of the wedding. I know a few people said they'd help, namely:

jubeloh
dzur99
karlyl
ravendragonwing
brooklynx
crzydemona Would loan her sprogs
wyngdlyon Would loan out slave labor

Are you guys still up to it?
If you are could you drop me a line? I want to email you with logistic specifics. And since you're in the wedding party Mark, I want to make sure you make it to pictures before anything else.
We only have about 14 tables that will need set up. But there will also be some other random things to go out like the guest book, The framed drawings, and some spiffy chocolate coin thingies.

Thanks you guys!

Okay...In 2 and half weeks...
