Wonderful Day

I got to go to the dentist today. My dentist is the BEST! How many times do you get a hug from your dentist? Or they tell you that they always have a great day when you come to their office?

That's right, people. I spread the love everywhere I go! <3 <3

I had a great day at work, and connected with my friends. I went to dinner with Raffy's parents. We were celebrating his dad's b-day. He wanted me to say hello to my family for him, and I had a good time.

My blood pressure was 126 today. The oral hygenist told me that's like a teenager! :D Yay, I have some juice left! :D

I went looking on MySpace for old friends. I found a girl I knew, who I loved so much! She has 3 darling children. We vastly differ in political views, but I was happy to see she has a wonderful life. She deserves it so much. And I was shocked - I thought she was pretty in high school, but now she looks like a supermodel after 3 children! God bless her!

I emailed my old friend Abby. She emailed me in 2004, but I was not able to access my email at the time. I was living in Tempe and my work did not let me access the account. I responded to her, and I said, better late than never! :D I hope she still checks that email, and maybe someday we can reconnect.

Now I have 3 February posts. Good, now I don't have to worry, but I'll probably blog some more if I feel like it.

Life is good.

Fat Tuesday

Today we had King Cake at work. It is a cake that they put a little plastic baby inside of it, and if your piece has the baby, you have good luck for the rest of the year. I got the baby! :D

I saw the Oliver Twist last weekend. I never had a chance to read that book. I asked someone once how it ended, and they said, "I don't know - he gets shot or something and dies." I can tell now they only read half of the book, or cliff notes.

I thought it was a sad ending. I may read the book, though.

I'm getting sleepy now. My days and nights got mixed up while I was on a mini-vacation last weekend. I took Friday off to sew my costume and relax, and see my allergist. I'm doing great - and I have great news -

My blood pressure is now 184. Six months ago it was 223. I've gone down 40 points! Yay!

And I'm still waiting for all the new year's people to clear out of my gym. It's super crowded now, and I have a hard time getting a good workout because you have to wait, and it's crawling with people.

I think I'll go take a nap now. Bye.

Been A Little Busy...

I made this costume this last week. I've been busy working on some projects. I will reveal them as they finish. I tried to rent this Alice costume from a local costume shop, but my bust was too large to fit the dress. I'm too top-heavy! :P

So I went to good old Hobby Lobby and found a pattern for a costume that can make Dorothy, Glenda, a Witch, Alice or the Queen of Hearts - all in one! You just make slight alterations.

I spent about 3 days sewing on and off, and now I have this cute Alice costume. It was alot of fun, and I think I want to invest more time into Cosplay. I think I'll make myself a White Mage outfit like I always wanted to be. Final Fantasy 3 has some cute alterations of the costume.

I've gotten a lot more acquainted with my sewing machine, and I feel silly, but I've been watching alot of Sewing with Nancy on Sundays. Once you know what everything is for, it is easy to come up with a finished garment.

And once I'm done with the costumes, I may sell them. They didn't have any Alice costumes (Disney style) larger than a XL, and I didn't want to wear the 4X Sexy Alice costume to work. :D Yeah, right... :D

Hope all is well out there.
