So it has been forever in a day since I've posted anything So I guess this is going to be slightly long update.
Let's start on the personal front first eh?

Well January past I got engaged to a wonderful man, Whose family will argue me down saying I'm Asian. WTF, I don't look Asian at all!!! lol We don't have a date set yet, were working on moving into the city together first. Then were going to set a date. I'm thinking next fall sometime. I want to have it at the pirate fest, he wants it on Halloween. I'm sure we'll get it figured out. I'm still flip-flopping on making my own dress VS buying one. I'm not sure it will really be any cheaper to make my own. I do know however it will be strapless and have hints of red.

I am currently suffering a fractured foot from falling down the stairs (Chip fracture on my ankle, fracture on part of my foot near the last three toes). Those stairs and I have some pretty nasty encounters, last time I broke my grandmothers plant stand with my face. I'm still working, so that means every day off is agony and I can't work too much in my garden. The doctor said it will take a year at most to heal up and that it would have been better if I broke it. No cast, no wrap. I'm thinking about wrapping it myself though because it hurts so much.

One week before injuring myself I was diagnosed with Asthma again! Damnit!! I thought I had gotten rid of it. I'm now on 2 different puffers, one steroid, one not. I did the breathing test and after a puffer my breathing improved by like 30%. This means I have to overhaul my room and clean it spic and span. So far it's been almost 10 garbage bags of crap thrown out and 2 big storage containers of old clothes. My room is starting to look rather empty. It's sad because my room has always been one of those where you never know where/what to look at first. The worst part, no more kitty cuddles, the cat isn't allowed in my room anymore.

I'm working on loosing weight, and things are going great! I've dropped two pant sizes, and had to order bigger pants at work because they changed the pattern or something and made them smaller. Because my old ones are too big, and the new ones, same size as the old ones are too small. It's rediculous.

On the cosplay front!

I am almost done Dejiko, just need to wait for Christmas to come around to find my OMG huge bells. And I need to pay off my wig/hat. It's coming all the way from Germany! And holy hell is it all expensive! After everything is done I'm estimating that I will have spent well over $300 on her alone, most of the cost being the wig.

I have chosen my two other costumes for the day, and one for the dance. Those will be Autozam Hikaru (Magic Knight Rayearth), and C.C. (Code Geass, clamp artwork)[link]

I'm thinking both of those are going to be pretty expensive too. I'm not sure if I'm going to finish C.C. so I have a back up of a really cute candy corn print Lolita outfit. I'm not sure which one I will be wearing for the masqurade judging, probably C.C. if I get her done, it's pretty impressive, still not sure how I'm going to make the obi work though.

For the dance I am definitely going with a Han-fu.

Sadly though, I can't for the life of me get my Andrew to dress up with me. I'm still working on it though. Maybe I'll just take his measurements in his sleep, make the outfits and then surprise him with them. You can't say no to that can you?
