downer+ i'm back at work
attire+ work clothes

my week with Roro was awesome. we never got around to watching any of the musicals i packed, but we did see the Wonder Woman animated movie, and played HOURS of Dragon Quest IX together. xD which is kinda even better. we ate at a lot of the favored places, saw a movie, visited both malls, had a goofy good time overall, and almost forgot to take any pictures at all, but managed a few.. on the very last day i was there. xD they'll get shared later.

Momo had fun playing ponies and having picnics with Lorelei and Sarabelle. FaithAnn and Rosalie just chilled with Ichigo all week, though Rosalie's brown eyes did arrive (so she's pretty much complete at this point) and FaithAnn got a short black wig from Roro. it's better than the oversized wavy brown she'd been making do with, and for now she likes it (plenty cool in the sweltering summer) but later she'll want longer hair again.

i got a lot of sun, i'm actually almost tan. i'll likely be back to glow-in-the-dark by next week though. my legs also got a pretty good workout, walking almost everywhere. they don't feel sore though, so that's good.

being back at work today is kinda surreal. like i'm still all relaxed (yay!) but in some ways it feels like i didn't go anywhere because every week here is the same as the one before. easy to get back in the swing of things and feel like i'm not behind though. this week i'm gonna try my best to get some sewing done for Eve, and take pictures of what i've made for her so far. the EiD body is crazy-curvy, especially the large bust, so it's kinda scary to sew for. i enjoy it simply because Eve is so easygoing, she makes it fun to play mannequin with her. xD i think i could probably finish the outfit she's been lounging in tonight, if i don't get distracted by DQ9.. which is a distinct possibility. xD i've played it every day but Wednesday since i got it last Sunday (the 11th) because it's just that addictive! i picked up some really cool accent pieces i wanna use for necklines on dresses for Eve while i was with Roro, so that's kinda on the forefront of my creative processes at this point. now i'm just trying to figure out what colors i wanna work in. i'm actually thinking warm brown or pink for the antiquated pearl-and-copper looking pieces. something classy and original.

but yeah, i'm thinking of sewing extra EiD outfits to sell for Vesuvia money. the EiDs are tricky to dress, so i'm sure custom items would do well. i'd have to figure out workable patterns though, and that could be annoying. xD *so unbelievably lazy* it'd make things a bit easier to save for though.. i'd have to pull less of it from my regular job's income. I now have Vesuvia and next year's Dolpa to save for (third year's the charm, right?) and i'm absolutely determined to achieve all three this time. no more failing at the last possible second.

I'm glad you had such a great trip and I will be looking forward to seeing the pictures.

Also I emailed you the invite to my birthday party on Sunday.
