more to talk about today for sure. as of yesterday around lunchtime, Moose no longer works with me and Kyu. after making the same mistake (a kinda big one too) for the third time it was her third strike and she was let go. that means as a result Kyu and i are walking to and from work again. it’s good though, we got kinda complacent and lazy getting rides every day. it’s not super far so walking it isn’t a big deal. in a few weeks we should be used to it again and back to making it in half an hour (or less) and not 45 minutes (or more). xD
this weekend is packed for me. i need to get to baking, and helping Moose get her costume together. it’s all cut out, so my remaining role is setting up and calibrating the serger, then instructing her in its use. aside from baking and sewing, Saturday is kinda early birthday time with the Warhammer group (hence the quantity of baked goods) and Sunday i have a date with my Wifey. we’re hitting the festival at the Ft Worth Botanical Gardens with our doll-babies and then having dinner at Cheesecake Factory according to tradition. xD there’s also a need to buy like two things for my Ravenclaw costume so i can wear it to work next Friday. all i need at this point is a (properly fitted) white dress shirt and black tights or knee socks. everything else is taken care of already- huzzah proper preparation (for once)! xD
the Wonder Woman costume i ordered (for non-work festivities) has shipped but is taking its sweet time getting here. kinda annoying but as long as i have it by the 30th (when i'll be wearing it) i suppose it’s all okay. the other stuff i ordered has no tracking information, so i can only hope it arrives soon as i'm kinda sick of wearing a poorly fitted emergency!bra. i had to order new ones after the under wire in my old favorite snapped on one side and tried to run away on the other. both malfunctions resulted in stabbing and scratching. X.x the downside to our prodigious genetic blessing is that online shopping is the only way i can get anything cute that’ll fit me, and then i have to wait through shipping mystery times, stupid huge boobs.
tonight my plan is to start as much of the baking as possible so i can devote tomorrow evening to helping Moose with her costume. while i think she’ll do fine with the serger, it just seems smarter to supervise its use. xD if the baking is mostly done i can focus on assisting with minimal distraction. i'll need to pick up disposable pie tins and something to keep the stuff in after it’s done tonight from the store first.. maybe i can get Wolfie to drive me after work.
in nerdy matters, my Wonder Woman tiara, lasso and gauntlet set has been pushed back again. it’s now due to ship in early December, around the same time as the Princess Bride replica of Inigo’s sword that i ordered this month. xD so sometime in December i'll be shelling out somewhere around $650 for both things after tax (only $598 if i use all store credit and avoid sales tax entirely). or i guess technically it’d be for all four parts? whatever. it’ll be awesome and they’ll both be useful for pulling together a warrior type costume for the Ren Faire. obsessively nerdy? now why would anyone call me that? i prefer to think of it as Single-minded to the Point of Success.. except when i get distracted.
today has been a long LONG day though. the gist of it is that our UPS server died and it took all day to fix it and consequentially nothing went out that should have. so tomorrow i get to take care of that in addition to the usual Friday tasks. the worst part of the thing not working is that it led to my boss swinging by every half hour to see what i was doing since she couldn’t do most of her Thursday tasks. i hate being monitored or babysat like i'm incapable of doing anything properly without perpetual reminders. it drives me crazy, seriously! oh well, the day is now over and i can head home to further craziness, but at least it’s craziness of my own design..

I thought for a moment you were going to bake part of your or her costume. Am hoping that next year I can have costumes ready for the resin kids. I haven't even thought about what I want to be for Halloween. I know! overworked but much appreciated legal secretary!
I'm so old that I cannot even think about trying to figure out a Halloween costume.
