well kids, it's that time again. i'm off to door county for a week. hooray!
i'm actually really excited to go this year. i couldn't go last year because mychael wouldn't give me the time off. i was exceedingly crabby all last summer as a result. it'll be nice to go and relax for real.

at the same time i'm stupidly sappy and kinda don't want to leave hunter. ::sigh:: i'm so smitten it's ridiculous.

in other news, it's been a crap week of crap at work. everyone is cranky and unhappy. people keep calling off, some people are complaining about too many hours, some people aren't getting enough hours, the customers are (in general) absolute morons and i'm getting more and more pissed off at the whole thing. they don't pay me enough to be constantly pissed off at this job. bah recession. bah, i say.
and i took on another bloody wedding dress. oy.


but, for this week at least, i'll be eating my weight in cherry flavored goo and drinking far-too-sweet wine in open fields with folk music. it'll be phenomenal.
see you kids in a week!

so heeeeeyyyyy.
somehow in my frantic minor panic attack last night at 2:30am, i managed to disconnect my computer from the internet. hunter will be fixing it tomorrow, but just as an fyi.

in other news, i've slept maybe 14 hours in the past four days. i'm bloody exhausted and sick to DEATH of this damn play. if it weren't for vivian, i would have fucked off a long time ago. i am not getting paid nearly enough for the stress, lack of sleep, and lack of nutrition, not to mention that there are just literally not enough hours in the day to get all this shit done on time.

in other other news (shut up, i'm tired), vivian and i are shopping tomorrow for something fabulous to wear on saturday. i think i've calmed down slightly. hopefully enough to actually not make a total ass of myself. we shall see. god help him if i get drunk and start dancing...
::shudder::

on that note, i've still got a military coat to finish before i can get my not-so-happy ass to bed.
christ.

well, i can say with 100% conviction that i don't love quilting. it's not bad per se, i'm just not one of those people who loves it.

although having said that, mine's coming along rather nicely.
hooray.

i just took the most honest picture of myself i believe ever taken.
( get back, jojo )

it's not pretty, nor is it the best quality photo. i have no makeup on, my hair is a disaster and i'm in my pajamas, but it's honest.

this is me. this is what i do.

it's odd, but sometimes i feel like i need to remind myself that i'm good at what i do. everyone has fits of feeling inadequate and i think sometimes it helps to have a little reminder of why i'm making an effort in my life.
just thought i'd share.

i have extra dreamwidth codes. anyone need one?

along the same vein, i know a bunch of people are using dreamwidth as a mirror journal, automatically cross-posting between the two. how exactly does one do such a thing? any help would be greatly appreciated.

well, thanks to aki_hoshi, i now have a dreamwidth account. i'm under the same name, so please friend me as i honestly can't remember who has one and who does not at this point. i'm planning on cross-posting everything between the two (granted i can figure out how...), though livejournal has been my home for seven years now (!!!) and i don't plan on leaving. this will remain my "main" journal, if you will. i just know that some people will be posting more there, etc.

again, please friend me or send me a message or whatever.
thanks!

i don't want to move.

alright, now that that's done, i haz wedding dress photos!
( cut because i didn't want to make them smaller )

it only took me 23 hours. that's not bad, i feel.

one hour: seven buttons (out of 38), two slip-stitch lining seams and tacking the bridal bling.

then, i am DONE with this wedding dress.
pictures to come.

i was never very good at geometry.

happy beltane everyone!
