Okay, guys, you know how last Friday, my temp job ended?... Well. Things have taken an unexpected turn. Please allow me to apprise you of the timeline of events ( Read more... )

Yes, this is very random. The thing is, yesterday before leaving for the Labor Day picnic I attended (thanks again to Adam and Stacie for hosting us all!), I found myself poking through recipes. Specifically, in idling a brief span of time prior to departure, I clicked on a link I had forgotten I bookmarked for a recipe for a Fuzzy Navel cake, ( Read more... )

As of today, something good has come to an end. This afternoon, the temp job I've been working for the past five months concluded. This makes me sad. Not just for the obvious reason of loss of income, either. It was... a good place to work. The people were really nice, and the firm made it clear that we were trusted and appreciated. After all ( Read more... )

Hm, by some chance do any of you recall me mentioning how, a month or so ago, I entered another Lolita Fashion Design contest? Well, the polls for said contest are open now, and will be for the next five or so days. I'm just mentioning that because I do hope you'll wish me luck! I did miserably last time around- the only votes I got were the ( Read more... )

Yup, haven't posted in a little while. Got a few things transpiring; first and foremost, I get to keep my job at least a bit longer. I was asked to stay on on a week by week basis to help settle after the move. I just finished the first week of that; had today off. No idea how long they'll need me, but I'll happily stick around as long as they ( Read more... )

As some of you, at least, know, I had a Lolita meet-up today. We went down to the Arts Festival, in Downtown. I have to say we had a lot of fun; it was a small group, but we were pretty laid-back, and two of us brought along non-Lolita friends who were still well- accepted. My legs are a wee bit stiff, now, but I'm thinking fondly on what a fun ( Read more... )

I'm experiencing a bit of an odd quandary, at this time. As I'm sure many of you remember, I resolved that once I got a paycheck that wasn't to be mostly devoured by rent and bills, I was going to treat myself to an article of Lolita attire, something I've been longing for for months. Well, that time is almost nigh. The check in question goes in ( Read more... )

I got to look at fabric this evening, and it's giving me daydreams and creative urges. You seem, I spent the early part of said evening on a random ramble with Adam and Stacie (for those who don't know me in real life, my brother and sister in law, scholarinexile and pghkitten on here, respectively). We went to the bookstore- I picked up a very ( Read more... )

Something happened at work today that I just had to tell you all about. Things have been going well there, as a whole, but this is just something that came out of the blue, and I couldn't not share. It makes me realize all the more what a great place I'm in- as well as fervently wish it were permanent ( Read more... )

And in it, I find myself experiencing a novel sensation- that of being in a working environment where people are friendly and my presence is appreciated. Yes, my first week at the new- albeit temporary- job is winding down. And... I'm finding myself wishing it were permanent. This isn't just for reasons of having to start all over again when it' ( Read more... )
