I'm concentrating myself down to one centralized blog. I may stick something up here once in a blue moon, but for the most part my ramblings will exist solely at swayingpendulum.com.

Immediate deadlines:
Cinderella (Fiona's Halloween Costume) - 95% done
Captain Hook (Corwyn's Halloween Costume) - 10% done
The Empress - 65% done
Ghost (for LRS Haunted House) - 0% done

Further out:
Clue Fairy - 0% done
Belly Dance Ensemble - 10% done
Steampunk Ensemble - 40% done
Mama Gkika - 0% done

Is that not fantastic? I sure thought it was.

I have discovered that I need to start being more careful about what I'm looking at/reading/etc online when my children are around. Because my daughter is obsessed with EVERYTHING I DO! And she's in all sorts of reading programs, so now she can read over my shoulder. And that is not always a good thing.

The other day, I posted a status update on my Facebook page commenting on how I had acknowledged the fact that I put on weight over the winter, and needed to do something about it.
