Zombies need love tooOct 27 2009 12:42
This week promises to fly by. I have a project I need to have ready to present by Friday, so really need to have a semi-final draft to give to my boss today and work on final edits and some other prep for Friday tomorrow and Thursday...yikes too fast! But SO much better than the week dragging by, I am happy as a clam under pressure, just not too much pressure!
I went to my painting class last night and painted furiously for the whole two hours and didn't even realize it was time to go. By the time I cleaned up and had a longish chat with the instructor afterwards, I missed my bus. Plus I was carrying a whole bunch of canvasses, so I decided, if I see a cab I will flag it, and I did so I did :). Felt very decadent.
Biked in this morning, it was COLD but not windy or rainy so I am perfectly cool with that! I actually like it when it's kinda frosty. Just have to be more careful on the turns as they might be a bit slippery...last year I wiped out once and it didn't kill me so I am not too scared, just careful.
My Halloween costume is going to be zombie bride (Joel is my zombie groom). I didn't find a wedding dress, but the Elegant Angel costume I got is pretty bride-like, I just need to get a veil and make some adjustments to the costume. One of the arms is too small (damn my fat arm!) and the back closes with two little velcro tabs that I totally don't trust to stay closed, not sure what to do about that but hopefully something will occur to me at the fabric store tonight. A zipper is to much work, as is button-holing, so I dunno.
Anyway...today is much better than yesterday. Someday, when Joel and I live together, Mondays will be much less hard.
Can't wait for the weekend and all it's zombie fun!!
what about hand sewing a few snaps on? just a thought! I don'thave a man, and I still find Mondays hard.....so son't old your breath waiting for better Mondays! Although i luike the idea that Mondays could someday be better! |
Heh...the only time I was ok with Mondays was back when I was a contractor and only worked three days a week lol. But having the Monday-workweek-blues compounded by the away-from-Joel pains is gruelling! Snaps are a great idea! I will investigate that. |
Ummmm yeah I am currently living in blissful domestic co-habitation harmony, and Mondays have not seemed to improve one measly bit! I've heard it's a good idea to plan something cool for Mondays to make things them more appealing. Although it seems like you've already done that, with your painting class. Ok then, I'm out of ideas. I certainly can relate though! Your halloween costume sounds fun- good luck with the alterations! |
Ohh!! I might be able to get my hands on a cheap-ish angel dress that I could use as a zombie/vampire bride!!! Great idea (hope you don't mind if I steal it? My other option is a saloon girl outfit or a gothic-y vampire lady dress that both cost about $50..a bit out of my league, but I could stretch to it if nothing else comes up. I need to look like I've made an effort as my Hubby's regulars (he runs a bar- thats where the party is?) are all hiring their costumes at $75+!! Both outfits are complete though,and look really good? And I have some super cool black & silver false eyelashes, make-up/face paint & jewellery (from my goth days! LOL!) already. A Zombie or Vampire Bride is tempting though... |
I love that you're all dressing up! We are having a party for H-ween, and its my hubby's 30th B-day!!! So exciting!!!! I"m dressing up as a50's housewife, I actually ordered a dress, and picked up some super cute retro shoes, and I have a little apron to go with it. Ah I can't wait to pass out cookies on a little tray, just like a good housewife. Bahahhaaaa! You guys will have to post pics of your costumes, I wanna see 'em! |
