ARMY MEDIC T SHIRT

normally i do not take pictures of myself in mirrors or anything like that, but i was trying to figure out if i looked okay in this dress, and thought maybe if i could just get a picture instead of looking at myself in the mirror, i would understand better what i looked like.

anyway, this dress, which is actually cute, is too big in some places and too small in others, making me upset that i paid for custom sizing. if i have to take it to a tailor anyway, i could have saved the $15 custom sizing money. now i know for next time!!!

the panel at the conference went fairly well, i thought; we had a quiet audience who were reluctant to interrupt us to ask questions, so kat and i happily chatted away with each other for an hour, went to where diana was sitting in another room to say goodbye, and then hightailed it to her apartment to snuggle the baby and play with the rat and eat scones with her family. awesome.

tonight we had delicious indian food for supper and then went to a joann's, where i bought a crapload of fabric. i got a bunch of discounts for buying the ends of bolts, and then another discount at the end -- 20% off my total order. so ~$140 of fabric and sundries ended up only costing $93. amazing!!! i got two patterned fabrics (one red and pink paisley; one black and rainbow shapes), one unbleached muslin, and one bleached muslin. it's all nice. i am excited about making skirts. and i think i am going to try to make a shirt out of the bleached muslin. a shirt!!!!

there was something else but i don't remember what. also, the baby is pretty damn cute. we are not allowed to curse around her, because she is getting words, so instead of all curses, one uses the word "goat" and i am having fun coming up with inventive goat curses.

like this one: "go sit on a goat and ride it!"
