I'm never good at titles.

Well as you may have guessed by now, I've been busy. But instead of alerting the internet world that I have seven Easter related Plinis still available in my shop, I thought I'd take the time to reflect on other happenings in my life.

For starters, Comic Con was this last weekend! I went on Saturday with Lou and our friends Yesenia and Neil. It was an adventure to say the least. We took the train in to NY where it was taking place and got some great "swag" and photos. I think perhaps the best part was the kitty ears I made for Yesenia and I to wear. Besides at the convention, we wore them to the train, on the train, and from the train. People's faces were priceless. I concluded that I should wear cat ears all the time. I haven't really lived up to that statement yet. Perhaps on Monday.

Lou took pictures of Yesenia playing the sometime to be released GTA game for Nintendo DS, but he wasn't allowed to take photos of the actual game. Also, one of the guys in charge of the station had a heart attack when he saw Yesenia and I playing. "Whoa...whoa!!! Are you guys 18?!?". I can't understand why he thought we looked like we were 12. Couldn't be the kitty ears, could it? Yesenia's response was even more priceless... "Yeah I'm 26! That's my husband over there."





Some of my "swag". I also bought a Munny doll which I'm VERY excited about! For those not in the know...it's a vinyl doll that you can paint and decorate yourself. It's all the rage...teehee.



And finally...being at a comic book convention, one would think that there'd be comic book purchasing of some sort involved. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time...and/or I didn't speak up when we were trudging through the huge crowds past the aisles upon aisles of comic book artists. Either way, it inspired me to complete my collection of the comic book I've been reading/collecting for a while now - Kabuki: The Alchemy. I bought the final 3 issues of the series online and they came today (right in time for the weekend) to my excitement!
It's a really beautifully illustrated comic by David Mack (also the Daredevil artist).

dumplin listing...check

I did it, I'm finished...and it only took ALL of my Sunday. Seriously...I started around 9 this morning and finished about 9 at night.

Six dumplins listed. Well, five now because my Peeps Dumplin sold already. Which is a good thing because I was trying my hardest to get it out and listed before Easter passed me by. Lou said I should make more. And here I was thinking I could get a break for a second. But dumplin making never rests! I'll probably be making more on Monday after work. I just don't know if they'll be ready in time for Easter. It took me a lot of trial and error to figure out what to use for the "sugar" on the Peep. It was nearly impossible to find a super fine glitter that was colorless. But the glitter I settled on looks pretty good I think. It's still a little irridescent and sparkly, but I think it actually looks nice. Not as sugary as I originally wanted, but still super cute.


In other news, I'm planning on considering possibly dying my hair back to blonde. Usually in winter I get the urge to dye my hair dark, and then by the first sign of fair weather I'm missing my blonde. I can't make up my mind, ever. I've had black, brown, various reds, and blonde. I don't think I'll be going red again because I think I look too much like my nana and it freaks Lou out. It's actually kind of funny. But then when I have blonde hair I feel like I look too much like my mom. Hmm...I don't know. I was thinking of trying a platinum blonde. Usually I stick to dirty blonde, but I really hate the gold tones in my hair. I'm a fan of ashy shades. When I first dyed my hair dark brown this winter it was this awesome deep ash brown and, of course, like every brown I've dyed it before it had faded to what I would call a shade of mousy brown. Mousy doesn't suit me.

I was thinking of weighing the pros and cons of blonde versus brown because I have to go one way or the other...either by going blonde or refreshing my brown. I haven't really organized my thoughts yet, but one thing is true is that brown is much less maintenance than blonde in terms of my roots showing, but fades SO much faster than blonde. And especially if I go really light my roots are going to be showing in literally a week. My hair grows like dandelions in an open field.

I also started taking a poll of which color people prefer. It's split down the middle, so of course, that's no help.
