so the bulk of the FCBD prep for this year is done. yesterday we labeled another 12944 pieces, and Tiff helped me get it distributed properly. only another 7275 to go. yay. X.x this week my speed improved though, i went from 7.42 pieces a minute to 11.37 which is a pretty good bump in productivity. Our goal is 10, so yay me. getting the last bit done next week should go pretty smoothly since i'll have Tiff to help me, though the other guys really need to get it together. i'm almost to the point of bribing them to pull their weight, then i remember that intimidation works so much better. xD so threats have been levied, we'll see next week if they improve. technically Minion #6 did improve, but going from 5.78 to 6.64 isn't good enough. not when the goal is 10, and before lunch i was hitting 15.14 easily. i only slowed down in the afternoon, when i was doing multiple smaller titles and having to get up more often to shift things around.. and also i stopped for a snack, but i still did pretty awesome overall. xD

on an entirely different note, a while ago (like early March) i decided to hold off on ordering Real Skin Tania to be Rosalie since it'd strain my finances a bit. luckily for me my finances are in better shape now, and a girl who bought one (with the exact options i was going to!) has decided she's not right for the character she had planned and is willing to sell to me. the first payment went off today, and i should have her by the end of May, sooner if what's-her-face sends me my refund on that split that died, so i'm very excited. i'm already re-thinking her wardrobe, and how i'll blush her and do the faceup, and how to make a pair of antlers-on-a-headband, since Moose actually has several pairs that get worn. xD i think i wanna re-do FaithAnn's blushing too. i'm just convinced i can get an even better likeness out of her when i'm not feeling rushed or impatient. I think this time i'll take reference photos, and give the sealant time to dry between layers. I didn't before and now FaithAnn's tattoo is smudging. so since i need to re-do it anyway, i may as well re-do it better all around. with the scars, tattoo, and faceup -and all the same things for Moose too- photos to reference will really help me out.

i'll also need to buy properly colored eyes (she shipped with green) and glasses, and the wigs i found that very closely resemble our real hair. xD there's some other stuff too, but it can wait a bit longer. i can handle this and saving to visit Roro, i can't handle much else, so just the basics will have to do. even though i'm not expecting it, i'm kinda hoping i miraculously get my refund from the Eliv/Iv debacle soon so i can use that to pay off most of Rosalie. again, i'm not counting on it, but it'd be nice. *sigh* i suppose i should be making a list, so i can keep track of what i need now-ish and what i'd like later. i do love to make lists. xD i've made lists to organize my lists before.. it's a compulsion almost. *shrug*

i'm looking forward to spending this weekend blissfully doing nothing. there's been a lot of Somethings lately, so i think Nothing will be a nice change of pace. i dunno, maybe i'll plug in the Wii and play some imaginary Sports. i could try to not totally suck at the Tennis and Baseball options.. maybe. it's kinda a long shot with how abysmal i am now. xD
