Before After

Oh boy

Hot damn, have I been busy...not that I'm complaining, mind you. But...well, yeah. I think I am going to take this time to rant lol
Ok, so.
Let's start with...last last week. Starting with the 6th.
I spent that whole week making my Renaissance  dress. Which, by the way, the chemise turned out pretty gorgeous but the corset...not so much lol It looked fantastic, actually. It actually looked like it had been professionally done...until I put it on, laced it up, and bent over to pick up a screaming baby. Plop. The eyelets that took me HOURS to hammer in all popped out. I just about ripped the whole thing off.
But oh well.
By the way, that week I slept an average of 3 hours a night, every night...8 days straight. I'm still recovering, so it'll take me a while to get back into the blogging routine..sorry!

Moving on. Ren fair was amazing. I absolutely LOVE walking around aimlessly...I caught a few shows (mostly just the ones at the Pig & Whistle), but the falconer has disapppeared and he was my favorite. Not happy about that.

Moving on. My boyfriend moved...lifting boxes = always fun. The new apartment is much nicer than the last one, though. Fo' sho'.

And I have been spending ALOT of time with my pals lately. It just hit me that I don't have much time left here.

...Which reminds me that I got my itinerary and plane ticket for my trip to Dartmouth! :o)

...Which in turn reminds me that I still have ALOT to do before I leave for Scotland like, you know, applying for a visa lol

My credit card is completely maxed and I have $4 in my checking account. I will not touch my savings because it is all going with me to the UK in September.

And finally, the most important thing...
My brother moved back home! :) Kinda good, kinda bad.
Good - because it'll be good for him. He's a sweet kid, but he's never made very good choices and getting married right outta high school to a (crazy) girl that he knew he didn't really wanna be with....well let's just say that's one of those things he didn't really think through all the way. But they're working out custody and everything seems to be being done in a civil manner.
And baby Jon Jon will be at our house 50% of the time! SHWING!
Bad - He's sad. I think he knows it's the right thing to do, but he's still kinda bummed. Also, baby's sick and screams all night lol Bad.

So that's that.
Oh, and I'm taking a week or so off from Phen and I will start again when I leave for New Hampshire with renewed force.
Still chillin' at 229, and totally content with that.

hey girl

i was wondering about ya.  i am glad that you  had fun at the renn. faire.  are you going to scotland for a vacation?   i know how your brother feels.  it is hard when your marriage falls apart.  he will be okay though.  i cannot wait until i am 229.  where does that put you at a size 14?   keep up the great work!

Go you!

Sounds like you have a lot going on.  Glad to hear it. I had wondered how you were doing.  Scotland sounds like a wonderful opportunity for you.
 
Divorce does stink - I feel for your brother being sad.  Thank God time is a wonderful healer.  Hope the baby isn't sick much longer - for both your sakes!

...

Have a good trip
