I'm pushing myself to cut another corset before bed. It's a pink lily, and I promised it to someone at LAST year's Wicked, so I really want it done. But I'm tired and cranky, and I have to be up early-- for me-- to take my car in for what will no doubt be a stupidly expensive scheduled maintenance. Which is, itself, dangerously overdue. And I have a slow leak in my front driver's side tire, as a kindly fellow motorist was kind enough to inform me on 95 yesterday. Yeah. Car's pulling to the left? Check your damned tires first. I'm such an idiot. I hit a curb a couple of weeks ago. I know that's when this happened. Interestingly, it happened while I was thinking about how I wasn't distracted and was driving with my brain.

Apparently not. Perhaps I should concentrate on driving with my hands on the wheel and my spatial perception somewhat more focussed. Brain has no opposable thumbs with which to grip the wheel, anyway.

Ryan now says she cannot come over to morrow to work on corsets for some arcane reason I can't quite fathom. This is somewhat of a disaster for me-- again-- as the four corsets she was working on were to be the only new medium and large corsets I was going to have at Wicked. That hollow thudding you hear? That's me slapping my head against a wall.

Next time I decide to open a business, I'm going to do something low-maintenance, like...I'll watch your lawn for money. Just to make sure it doesn't go anywhere. Or I'll become a professional bed-tester.

Why the hell did I ever do this to myself?

I've got ideas, you've now got my down payment. It'll take me a few months to pay it off, but I want a three-lacer by mid-august. I'll keep paying and we'll talk measurements and other details closer to then?

I'm sorry, that sounded really abrupt, didn't it? It's been a long day, this is retail therapy for me. Retail therapy I've wanted since I was fifteen ; )

Seriously, I'm freakin' excited now! A mayfaire for my 21st. W00t!

Do you have any plans for Sunday? I could see if I could get over to help you then...I'd come over tomorrow but I have an MRI scheduled, plus I still need to sew up all the kitty toys I stuffed the other day so they're ready for Wicked...

I'm supposed to be going to the Mid-Winter Celtic Music fest. Now I'm really not sure if I should go or stay here and tackle the HUGE pile of work due before WWRF.

Gah. Seriously. Just...GAH!

You're so fabulous.

And no, I'm not doing VARF-- cos while I might go back to the same disastrous relationship again and again, I learn much quicker with faires-- but I'll be at PARF. You? Visit? Maybe?

*hugs* I wish I had some good advice... but, well, all I can do is commiserate. I know how you feel. And sometimes, knowing that someone has gone through something similar, helps. Just a little.

Just wanna say that when I come across women wearing a MayFaire Moon... I get all excited since they are generally at NY... and think how cool it is that I "know" you :)
