Today, three friends and I put in an application for a house. I can't wait to live with these guys! The house has TWO living rooms and they're letting me use one of them as my own craft/sewing room. And the best part--they all love my dog.
P.S. We have our own pool
Update: We've been approved! We're getting deposits in and the lease signed! Yay!

I find it amazing that the right person always seems to come along at the right time. Thank you for putting the pieces of my broken heart back together.

Sorry to mope about and be miserable, but I have to say something.
I HATE LOVE. I freaking hate it.
That is all. I'm off to go work and wallow in my misery. I promise soon I'll be back to my normal, bubbly, chipper state.

Megacon 2014

It was a success! Wow, a lot had happened in the past week. I shall start from the beginning.
Three days before my vacation was supposed to begin, I woke up with my throat being sore. NBD, I thought. Went to work in the afternoon like I always do, but it had gotten worse. I ended up going home halfway through my shift feeling achey and miserable and going straight to bed. Woke up feeling worse. You wanna know the scary part? Strep has been going around work. I made a doctor's appointment for a few hours later. Turns out I had a bug and tonsil stones at the same time--double whammy of ickyness. Luckily my strep test was negative. I called out from work that day and the next and literally slept most of the two days. I had intended to use that time before work those days to clean my room, but luckily it was mostly organized and I made sure my costumes were done previously. Wednesday
was arriving in the evening. I woke up feeling nauseated and vomited, but it seemed to get the bug out of my system. I took it easy the rest of the day and was able to eat when Batty and I got home from the airport (and keep it down).
Thursday was Disney day! We headed to Magic Kingdom since Batty hadn't seen any of New Fantasyland or Festival of Fantasy yet. We were able to eat lunch in Be Our Guest restaurant, watch the parade, see some of my good friends around the park, do a few rides, and just had a really nice, relaxing Disney day. We came home in the early evening to make sure we were 100% ready for Megacon the next day!
We awoke Friday and my roomie Jen was up and making waffles. She was fortunate enough to have the day off and joined us for her very first convention. After we got ready, we headed out as Anna, Elsa, and Sofia (Jen wore her Sofia costume from Halloween since she hadn't planned on going. She was a big hit, especially with the kids!) Upon arriving, we were constantly stopped along the way for photos. It literally took us an hour to get from the ticket booth across the room to the venders room. It was really great to know that our costumes were being well received! We spent the entire day slowly wandering through the venders room stopping about every thirty seconds to pose (I promise I'm not exaggerating). I'm really happy with how Anna turned out, but I will be redoing her skirt. I want to make my panels more triangular and put more structure in them so they hold their shape better. We came home exhausted from simply standing all day.
Saturday was super day! Getting ready was much easier since our costumes weren't as big. Lady Thor and Captain America weren't nearly as popular as Anna and Elsa, but they were very much liked, especially by the comic book/super hero crowd. Batty had stated previously that she wanted a photo with John Barrowman and asked me to join her in it. I was ecstatic! Of course I would love to be in your photo with John Barrowman, it's John Barrowman! So last con Batty went to she met him as well and he accidentally grabbed her tush in the photo--epic. So she asked if I would go along the same theme with her. Don't get me wrong, I like being respected and do not approve of being inappropriately touched--especially by strangers at cons--but it's John Barrowman! We went above the tush grab and asked for a boob grope photo. Yes we did. And you know what? He did us one better. He smooshed his face between our bossoms and wrapped his hands around us to grab boobs. IT WAS AMAZING! Totally the best moment of the convention.
Adventure Time has been something I have been looking forward to for a while because a bunch of my friends from work really wanted to do it. Sunday the girls were able to get the day off and we all suited up as Fiona, Cake, Princess Bubblegum, and Lady Rainicorn and headed out! K.M. unfortunately got the flu and wasn't able to go with us as our Fin but once we were there my friend K.C. joined us as Jake. Now it was our PB and Lady's first convention ever so they were kind of freaking out the whole time. "Oh my gosh, it's Batman! Can I have a picture with him?!?!?!" It was adorable and we obliged by taking lots of pictures for them. We were very much liked as well by the crowds! We ran into my friend David and took a picture with his Adventure Time group as well! They looked fantastic, I must say. I also did something I was very proud of--confronted my ex. Last year, when we were together, I let him borrow my Flynn Rider vest when we did Flynn and Rapunzel. He managed to hold onto it after we broke up and I have politely asked for it back several times since then. It's been a year and I still don't have it. I marched up to him (with K.C. holding my hand--there's nothing like having a big, beautiful, buff man with you for confidence) and simply asked for it back. He first warned me that he had a restraining order against me (lies, all lies) to which I asked what I had ever done to him, stated that I'd never tried to see him after I broke up with him (that's right, I broke up with HIM), and that I've only ever asked for my vest back and that's all I want. Just so you all know, if someone files a restraining order against you, you have to be notified about it. He never even knew my address off the top of his head so how could he even file one against me? Anyway, he said I could come pick it up, but I had to let him know when I was outside his property so he could bring it out to me. That's fine, I don't want to step foot on his property, I just want's mine back. We parted and I sat back down with my friends and we discussed how he was lying because I have received no notification about legal matters. A minute or two later, he called me over and I hesitantly went (with K.C. in tote again) and he asked me why I cheated on him. WHAT? I have never cheated on him or anyone that I have dated. I explained (once again) to him why we broke up, that I never cheated, and haven't dated anyone since him. He seemed relieved, then offered to bring my vest to my house (yes! No driving through toll roads for an hour!) and we parted after he told me how crappy his life was now. I will be so happy once my beautiful creation is back in my hands and I never have to see or hear from him again! Our group then continued to wander the con and had a fabulous time.
Yesterday Batty and I headed for one of the most special places (in my opinion) in our friendship. In 2010, we took a vacation right before senior year of college started. We went to Universal Orlando to see the Wizarding World the first year it opened. Though she's been to visit twice since then, we haven't been back to UO. We donned our Gryffindor and Ravenclaw gear and headed to the parks. It was magical seeing us back where we were almost four year ago. I can't say how happy I was being back there again with my best friend. We even recreated one of our favorite photos from our frist trip. She has to fly home in a few hours, but I'm really glad that this mini vacation was possible.

I am!!!! Just about. I'm so very excited! Once again, will be flying down to join me in my shenanigans! Our line up has changed a bit. Friday we will be doing either LadyCap and LadyThor or Anna and Elsa from Frozen. We know Our Frozen outfits will get the most attention Saturday but we are concerned for the cape on Elsa's dress with the crowds on Saturday. Whichever we don't wear Friday will be worn Saturday. Sunday We will be a part of an Adventure time group with some of my friends from work! I'll be doing Fiona with Batty as my Cake. We will also have a Princess Bubblegum, Lady Rainicorn, and Fin! Batty and I will also be having some major BFF catch up time before and after the con.

Batty and I will also be having some major BFF catch up time before and after the con.As for my costumes, Fiona is complete. My Lady Captain America clothing wise is complete but I'd like to make a shield. I don't need one but I know it would be nice to have. As for Anna, I need to find a lace to add to my coronation sleeves and re-do the wig (the bun/knot) doesn't sit high enough up. Other than that, I'm done. Considering I have 21 days until the convention, I'd say I'm in really good shape!
Hope you all have a had a lovely February!
