So I think my dog bruised the cartilage in my nose.  Yeah, two good whacks in the nose by a dog with a brick for a head would do that I suppose.

Hey guys, I'm participating in a walk for the Arthritis Foundation in support of one of my friends.  It's May 30th, and we are rounding up donations under our team "The Walking Zombies".  If anyone wants to donate (I won't hold it against anyone if they don't) go to:
http://arthritiswalkie.kintera.org/thewalkingzombies
Click on my name (in the team members block, Kristen Thorne) and it will take you to my donation page.  Minimum donation is $20.00 (I didn't set it).
Thanks guys.  And please pass on the message to anyone you think might be interested in helping out.

I has pretty new car.  Yayz!

My guy buddies at work wanted to know what costume I was working on.  I told them Sophitia.  Neither of them knew what she looked like, so one of them looked her up on his iphone.  They were both like "whoohoo, I like that character design"  then they asked who I was making the costume for.  I said me.  They both were like "oh you had better be getting pictures of that." and "I am so gonna look for you at con, and dont think I wont find you."  Then I told them it was for Fanime not AX.  They both went "awwwwwww . . . wear it at AX too!"

I'm not really sure if I should see it as them wanting to see how well the costume turns out, or if the just want to see boobies . . . I'm leaning towards the boobies.  I guess you just can't keep the guys from being pervy, even when one of them was sitting right next to his wife XD.

Yeah.  That was my story for today.

This is for Zach

I got a few emails from you that had nothing in them.  Don't know what was suppose to be there but it's nothing but the headers.  All my other emails are fine so I'm a bit confused.  If they weren't mistakes, try sending one again please.  I'll let you know if it's still not coming through.

I'm getting pretty far on my Sophitia accessories (gonna put some pics up soon).  I just kinda wish I didn't choose to hand sew all the pieces . . . . my fingers are getting kinda torn up . . . .

I'm gonna have a new car by Sunday!!! Whooooo!!!!  I'll be able to drive further than ten miles again!!!

Yeah that was it.

I was looking through some older cosplay pics and came across this one.  It was from a Halloween Town event at RCC and our club used Kenshin for the door theme.   Then this happened:

Yahiko = My brother
Kaoru = our friend Elisa
Kenshin = Me
Sanosuke = Hat James

The funny part about the picture is that my brother didn't know Elisa was behind him, Elisa didn't know I was behind her, and I didn't know that Hat James was behind me.  Ah that was a fun event.

Even though I was really sick yesterday, I went to work (didn't have any daytime medicine, totally thought I did, but I didn't).  Nearly fell asleep at my desk several times.  Bossman didn't call me on it though.  The only thing I had to do was finish the month end stuff, which wasn't much, however it couldn't be finished until the CPA was done with his auditing.  So I had pretty much nothing to do inbetween the little adjustments that needed to be made.  The CPA didn't get done until just after 3pm, which meant there was no hope of going home early.  Slept through all my breaks.  Didn't eat until I got home, which was a bowl of soup crackers and a glass of juice.  Slept off and on between 5:30 and 11:30.  Trudged upstairs, took some sleepytime meds and slept for another ten and a half hours.  Aaaaaah.  I needed that.  Finally ate something real.  Bought daytime meds (yayz). 

I was supposed to go to an SCA event today with my parents, but they didn't want to wake me up to ask if I was feeling good enough to go.  I was out like a light.  Oh well, I'll go next time.  I really need to clean and catch up on my costume.  So many little accessories . . . . *sigh*.

I've been reading Fruits Basket.  My neighbor gave me the first 14 volumes of it. 

Okay that's enough blathering for today.

I'm sick.  Blargh.  Not really bad but I feel it coming.  Got a sore throat now and the coughing is getting worse.  Can't stay home from work cuz we're in the middle of the month end wrap up for accounting.  *sigh*  I haven't figured out how I got it yet.  It was either from my family (I'm always the last to catch the bug around here) or from the guy who sits behind me at work.  I consider blaming him cuz he's been sick this whole past week, and I just realized today that he's been breathing WITH HIS MOUTH OPEN.  He sits all of four feet behind me . . . probably doesn't use a tissue to cover his mouth or sanitize his hands before touching the communal printer . . . grrr.

Imma go make some soup now.

Gave my dog a bath today.  Heh.  That's always fun.
