Do You Watch Portlandia??

Merry Christmas Friends

Sorry, I haven't been around much...

I am hoping 2012 will find me blogging or at least visiting blogs again.

Until then,

Merry Christmas

and

Best Wishes for 2012

This Is Halloween

Catch Up

Well... I've been on the new job a month now... it's super busy!!! 

This past weekend was SteamConIII in Bellevue.  The local Steampunk convention.  We had a great time!!  We celebrated our 13th anniversary and Mad Dog's birthday.

Saturday Night was the Nautilus concert for the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea theme.  We made diving outfits.  Mad Dog has an extra StormTrooper helmet laying around, so we Steampunked it for me.

Sunday was the Wayfarer's Brunch.  Non-British Steampunk attire.  I made the traveling  case.

 Mad Dog wore his sheriff outfit

What have you all been up to?

Catching Up

WOW!  I can't believe how long it's been since my last post and Blogger has changed soo much! Life has been pretty much the same around here... still looking for a job... still working on the house...preparing for SteamCon III (the local Steampunk convention in October) and crafting when I can.

Well, I DID go to my 20 year (cough cough)  reunion and while I am glad I didn't have to pay for the tickets (BIG WASTE of money in regards to the food and venue)  I had a FANTASTIC time!!  It wasn't really anything about high school and kind of became this bragging contest about who you knew the longest.  Like who went to pre-school together.  I've actually gotten together with a few people since the reunion and NONE of them were people I was close with in high school.  It was a strange night!  But I am soo glad I went!  And I am looking forward to the end of October because one of my former classmates worked at a local stamp shop for over 10 years and still has all her supplies she bought over the years.  We are getting together for a BIG stamping day!

Craft nights are still going strong... we recently moved nights to Fridays and we are getting a little out of hand with the addition of jager bombs and cocktails. LOL.  This past Friday was all about Mustaches on a stick and Honeybadger.  LOL!!!

And tonight we just got back from celebrating Chuseok (aka Korean Thanksgiving) with friends!  Such a fun night and wonderful food!

OK, picture time!!

Craft Night getting out of hand.. and my new Steampunk Mustache on a stick!

Paper flowers made from pages of an Alice in Wonderland book

What have all of you been up to?  What are you working on?

I have an interview this week and an appointment at WorkSource... hopefully they can help me find something!

OK, if you haven't watched Honey Badger yet... please do so, but beware there is some foul language..

To Go or Not to Go... that is what is on my mind

This Saturday is my 20th high school reunion and I still can not decide if I want to go or not.  There was suppose to be a casual Friday night event at a local tavern that I was going to crash, but that has been cancelled.  Now there is an un-official Friday event in the works, but it sounds like two different people are planning it in two different places.  So... did you go to yours?  What do you think?  Should I go or skip it??
