work- all the core spec docs are assembled with rudimentary requirements.  I've sort of hit the wall on them.  We are going to formal review 4 days earlier.  Fun and joy.

sewing- Mr. D took my pinking shears and sewing machine to the repair guys.  My machine is going to get a tuneup and polish, and hopefully they can fix the shutter cover so my button hole automater will work right and proper with out gerrymandering it.  Will see if a proper sharpening will fix the pinking shears, its a 10 buck roll of the dice on that- but the damn things are not cheap shears even though I got them from my dad.

It is a good time to have the old machine looked at.  I am not ready to start hat construction by any means.I figure it's worth the 80 bucks to do this, all the folks working at Hancock say if the machine is metal get it maintained.  
 
I am recycling zippers ATM.

Mr. D also got me a can of red vinyl dye/paint from the automotive store.  Will see if this works on the purse.

Exchange- stumbled upon something during research that set all my bells and whistles going.  Do I need an anti-aircraft  rocket launcher to kill the bunnies now?

I'm so tired of work!.  Slamming out the "bones" of a spec.  Have to add meat later...

Tomorrow I kick butt.

Regardless, Sbrande's post on infinitus poked me.  I cant remember if I posted it.

I have my con ticket.  YAY!

If you don't know, I am at the main con hotel.  I simply cannot be outside in Florida weather in July in a costume.  I hope the hotel is freezing.

I'm in Irish's room.  =)

I won't be driving.  Mr. D has forbidden me driving with crazed fangurls to Orlando.  Says it's not safe.  it would be a two day drive both ways.  Dix is going to have a full house.  It's easier to fly and I wont be killing vacation time driving. 

I dont have air tickets yet, but we plan on getting their tuesday and hit the park on wednesday.  I will be in sun protected nerd gear.  I wont be wearing a costume in the park. 

I havent opened up revel_infinitus yet.  I can't guarantee being a death eater all con this time due to Augusta.

Snape will be going to the ball.  He may show up twice. I have not planned things yet.  Several things could be happening in the costume area, but a lot of that depends on sheer dumb luck.  it all depends what is in the thrift shop for prom and wedding season. =)

Cheer up on obnoxious humor...I am waiting for dinner, then its back to work.


( not PC and tasteless )

If you don'tfollow leaky news---here are pics of the HP theme part construction.   That's fake snow folks...

My husband ordered and is watching Sense and Sensibilty ona dvd...not the alan rickam one, the version in 2008. 

The world has tilted on it's axis...

i quit working.  Mother nature said screw it.  I will need to work on he weekend so eff it.

Taking a que from madamleone..I am doing teh music meme for the hit in the UK.


Mr.D told me not to do his, but I dont listen to him all the time.  TV was still new....and camera techology was static...



My B day hit in the UK..which is ELVIS? Lovely song..

what was the #1 hit song on your birthday the year you were born.

Color TV wasnt invented yet folks....




Floo wise- I got a draft of document 1 and sending that engineer several questions.   At least I will look productive. =)

I think my super knows things before the rest of us grunts.  Looks likr the big new shiney one is getting delayed...because its always a lot more complicated when one trys mashing stuff together....

Fandom stuff- I did some manips for MorethanMolly.  Lots of people have posted links.

5 subject areas I havent seen in 12 years!!

At least the language is TL1 and not SNMP.

Oh lordy..... 

Its been A DAY.

Told the other project I would be back in 5 weeks.

Learned why I am on the new one.  Poor engineer is burned out. 

Will do the best I can on this one.  Good thing I work well with extreme deadlines. 

Have fun ppl.

I am not taking on anymore fandom projects.   Exchange is getting the priority.

I'm off to get some food.  Its going to be a long week.
