Feels like Monday

What a horrible morning. I ended up getting to work an hour late after a series of absurd misadventures trying to get a FastPass. At least I got the damned the thing and made it to work, with the bag of tiaras and the dress I am supposed to be sending to my mom (if I can find a box to mail them in anyway). In the meantime, I am taking comfort in wearing one of the tiaras. That always makes me feel better, however silly I may look sitting in my veal-pen wearing a tiara.

I made very good progress on my foliage last night. In fact, it's done, I just have to pin it to the dress in a more permanent manner. Right now it's all on with straight pins. Tomorrow night I will make any little fiddling adjustments and safety pin it all down. I think it turned out rather well.



Here also are pictures of the orange dress I did for the reception this weekend.



I'm feeling in a very bad mood this morning. Last night was rather nice, I worked on making my foliage, and watched the SciFi channel, and was generally mellow. This morning was just awful though. Hopefully today will get better. I'm supposed to have dinner or something with one of the guys from work. Not sure what the deal with that is, but it should be ok. We've been trying to find a mutually do-able day to get together for months, so however bad the rest of the morning was I can't really justifying canceling at this point. Tomorrow my new housemate is coming over to drop off checks, pick up keys, and figure out paint, and I have to pin down all of the foliage on the dress since I won't likely be home at all on Thursday. It turns out I'm going to go see the dress rehearsal of D's opera. Yay! I'm rather excited about this actually. I wasn't sure I would be able to see it at all, which I felt really bad about. He's very excited about getting to do this, and I want to support him in it as much as I can (which isn't much, or at least as not as much as I feel like it should be).

Anyway, must get to work. As you can see, the cat has been very helpful with the sewing efforts.
