Costumes A-Hoy! :-)

Today I have Goddess Book Club, and a facial. Woohoo! :-D

I also found out that: I type 73 words/minute. Stephanie, my interview-person has informed me that the average is about 35 words/minute. So: Haha! :-D I type really, really fast! :-D
I feel validated, for some reason. :-)

I'm going to wash my hair with chocolate shampoo today. :-) That should be fun. :-)


In other news: Paul and I are going to the Witches' Gathering, after all. :-) I will not be wearing my wedding gown as part of my costume. This is partly for over-heating reasons, and partly for reasons of not wanting mead or other alcohol spilled down my pretty, pretty dress. :-)

Instead I'm making a wide-belted skirt -- using silver/blue ribbon-garland (3"-4" wide) with hook-and-eye closures as the main support system -- out of silver lammee, with a blue (broadcloth) knee-length under-skirt. The underskirt will probably have an elastic waist or be otherwise very low-maintainance and easy to deal with. I think the silver lame skirt will have long fringes (or something) of teal/navy plastic bead-string (I have no idea what the correct term for this is) hanging from the belt.

Not sure what I'll use for the top. Either my silver corset (from convergence a few years ago) or a blue bra-thing that I made years and years ago -- I might do that, actually. A very belly-dance based costume, but hey: They're meant to be danced in. :-)
I'd have to switch out the straps for something in blue and/or silver, but that wouldn't be too difficult. :-) (Especially not with my handy-dandy pretend-dress-maker's-dummy on hand. ;-)

This will be a busy day, made up largely of sewing. :-)

Whee! :-D

(no subject)

Quick question:

"- Registration of customers on natural gas and electricity programs
- Business to Business (Commercial)
- Door to Door registration (Residential)"

That means sales, yes? :-)

Let's Follow that Helpful Bat. :-)

I just got a copy of "Floodlands". Whee! :-D

I cut a squash from the garden (the stem, alas, did not come with it, so I'll have to use it fairly quickly). I got six or seven little tiny cuts (mostly paralel to each other) on my right hand -- probably from when I was cutting the squash. :-) It's going with me (along with candles, a table cloth, and a little bottle of pomegranite juice) to Goddess Book Club. :-)

I got nothing what-so-ever done on my costume today.
Beh. :-P

But I got my facial. :-)
It was nice to have someone else touch my face. :-)

I also picked up some hair sticks. So I can now put my hair up again. (It was buy one, get the second at half price today, so that meant I could get a set of clear sticks for my costume without feeling too bad about it. They are clear, twisty plastic, like icicles. ;-)

In other news: I went to the Bay today and picked up the duvet from my aunt Liz. :-) I will have to throw the duvet-cover (which I got back in January) into the wash and then stuff the duvet inside. :-) Then we will have a lovely black-on-black-on-black bed. :-)
We R So SpoOoky... Right.


I think I need to go and wash these cuts out. :-)


Oh, and: Plug: My husband is seeing clients now. :-)
