So I've finally gotten back in the swing of posting to Shop Etsy. There are new posts on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, which is a good start. Now, to see if I can get back into the swing of updating here...
Monday marked two months remaining until the wedding. Things are coming together quite nicely. We're going to see Marlo tonight to see the progress on our rings, and I'm picking up the flowers from Patty on Sunday. I still need to figure out what on earth I am going to do with my hair (I'm still not sure if I'm going to get it cut before then, or just grow it out for two more months), and I need to sit Jeremy down and get him to commit to what gifts he wants for his best man and our officiant.
I've also got some crafty work to do, like putting together the tossing bouquet. I have the pieces, I just haven't done anything with them. And I need to work on the favors. I got plantable paper flowers from Recycled Ideas, and a name/date stamp from Terbear Collectibles, but I still need to actually stamp all of the flowers. :) I keep telling myself "I still have two months," and then I go "TWO MONTHS?! That's crazy talk!" Yes, I really do often have conversations like this with myself. :)
The only other thing I'm still working on is someone who can make a small-ish gluten-free, vegan cake. My best woman is gluten-free, so I want to have cake for her to eat, because she won't be able to have the normal wedding cake. And I figure vegan because that way any vegans in attendance will also have something to eat. (I'm slightly willing to bend on the second point, because I don't know that anyone coming to the wedding is full vegan.) If you've got any thoughts on local gluten-free cake makers, drop me a line or leave me a comment!

Hmmm...
What did I even do last night? Oh yeah, watched a bunch of Fraggle Rock and crocheted. I've been more or less brain dead by the time I get home from work in the evenings lately. Been super busy at work, which is actually a wonderful thing for me. :)
Anyways, right now I have some cake that has amazing homemade icing, so that's exciting. :)
And the crochet thus far has not been super exciting, though I did crochet a strawberry last night. I have no pictures of it yet, but it turned out pretty darn cute, if I do say so myself. Of course, this is the sort of strawberry that you might want a fork to eat... it's 3 inches tall, easily, and a couple of inches in diameter.
Interestingly, I've noticed that while my yarn stash never seems to shrink, I do eventually reach a point where I'm really limited in what I can do with specific types of yarn. I'm basically down to three colors of cotton yarn, with a bit of three more colors and then scraps of the rest. I'm down to four colors of Homespun, and not enough of any of those to do much with. Plain old worsted weight acrylic I've got coming out of my ears, but no bright yellow with which to create a daffodil (which is my goal for the EtsyRain challenge for the end of March). (Which also reminds me about how bizarre the yarn selection at Jo Ann's can be, but whatever. At least they have fabric. :) )

NOT an article post! Yes, they happen occasionally! :)
In fact, this is an End of the Work Week Wisdom post!
"There is only one kind of cake, and it is tasty."
--Jerome, explaining that cake donuts are still cake
This was a late night conversation, that for some reason was revolving around donuts being in chili. I dunno, I rather prefer cornbread or the bizarre peanut butter on bread combo that my sister introduced.
As an aside, cans of chili should really include heating instructions. Chili Man chili does not. Bastards.

In other news, hurrah for pre-Halloween games and then Halloween! :) I've got three costumes planned, two for the games this weekend, and one for actual Halloween.
For tonight, I'm going to Ashes dressed as Mina Murray, from Dracula. My costume is largely inspired by the green dress that Mina wears in the Francis Ford Coppola movie, though mine is red. But I finally have a tiny top hat... of DOOM! :) Okay, so it's not actually of DOOM, but I can pretend, right?
For tomorrow night, for Riddles, I've got a Queen of the North sort of costumes... all silvery and icy and cold. I still need to do something with my wand to make it snazzier, and I have to figure out what's going on with my hair, as the flapper headband is great, but a bit too small.
For actual Halloween, I'm doing a quasi-Bride of Frankenstein costume. It's a dress that Megan mangled a while back, and I will probably draw some stitches onto my face... though I just realized that I need to find some white eyeliner or a white makeup pencil if I'm going to do it well...
::..::
In other other news, it's raining cats and dogs today. I really wish that we had a big golf umbrella... failing that, though, I think I may just put my costume into a bag and dress at the Student Center. It's only my costume for tomorrow that I need help getting into.
