Ta Da!

I haven't had a blog in years, & when I did have one I didn't post in it much. Not sure how often I'll post here, but I plan to post at least once a week. Perhaps it'll be adventures of the week, it might be a random writing exercise, or a recipe. Really, it'll be chaotic as to what I post.

Thing might be a bit tame for the moment, except for the random rantings about being stuck. My pop just had knee surgery & while it isn't a pain in the butt, it's a bit annoying just in that he can't move by himself & needs someone hanging about 24/7. I'm not so fond of being around 24/7.

On, the YEAH side though, I bought my pass for Fanime & reserved my hotel room. Woo hoo! I'm uber excited. I'm going to CosPlay for the first time in my life (I blame Jenna, the insidious her) as Horo from Spice & Wolf. I got all the fabric & notions I need to make her outfit, but I couldn't find fur, so Jenna is looking for some. That & making me my ears. Now I just need to watch the shoes I need to buy & order my wig! It's coming together! YEAH!!! I'll keep everyone updated with my giddiness on how it progresses.

This Sunday is Cal's birthday, as per tradition my parents are hosting a dinner for him, it'll most likely be the Saturday after his birthday, which should be kinda fun. I have no idea what to get him, but I'll think of something, I almost always do! Now if I could get him to settle long enough with mum around to measure his head so I can start working on making his hat (again....it was the wrong size, but it fit my baby cousin, so I suppose that's good).

In lines with Cal's birthday, the day after it is the date when his & my swing shoes show up. His look like these cool sneakers and mine are adorable saddle shoe flats. Then I'll have to wear them around the house to break them in before that Friday, as our first swing dance lesson is then. I'm so excited! It's a workout & it's a blast! I used to swing ages & ages ago (Like almost 10 years ago, ages ago) & I really enjoyed it. The classes were affordable & included entrance to the club it's held at, so bonus! It also appears that we may have a large group coming with us. Which I have mixed feelings on. I had originally thought of it as being just our date night & something fun for us to do together, but at the same time, it's a lot of fun going with a group & having the ability to switch partners without the Eek! I don't know you! going on. Plus it'll be more people to kick your butt to go (though I doubt I'll need kicking, I want to start already!).

Beyond that, I'm reading Will of the Empress by Tamora Pierce, which is part of the Circle of Magic, Circle Unbound, etc. Beyond that I'm trying to slowly work on my Project Zero, which I should post on here as well. Perhaps that will be my next post.
