:-D

Already a half day today for work. Yay! Maybe I should go in early....

So on to other random stuff other than epic snow storm like why I'm at two in the morning. That would be due to my beloved pup. She's had four seizures in the past 24 hours -none of them super long or bad- because said pup won't take her medication. Her medication goes on top of food and she, apparently, doesn't like the dog food Mom has. Yes, Ginsie is picky. I managed to get some food in her with the medication on it -cheddar cheese- which is probably why her seizures this afternoon weren't that bad at all.

I went to the doctor for me today and...I'm more step closer to getting my own bubble! I swear, if I do, I'm so making a pink poufy dress.... Anyway, what I've had for the past few months is not chronic sinusitis but a severe case of allergies. I'm on medication but, due to the nasal polyps, the doc wants me to check back in six weeks. If they polyps don't disappear, she wants to do surgery. If they make the headaches go away, that would be fine by me.

For sewing stuff:

I got the coral red silk that I wanted to use as trim around the neckline of the 1780's dress I'm making and it looks too orangy to go with the blue well. I'm going to just use pink instead. Oh yes, I have my sewing machine, my sewing kit, and fabric with me. I will not be caught in this snow storm with out my basic muslin and silk supply. ....I even brought linen.

The stays fit!

Yay! They are ugly as can be but they fit and, once on, look perfect on; ugly, but they fit right. Even Mom looked surprised when she saw them on me because they do *look* right on...just not when being sewn.

So, next to remeasure the pattern and get that sewn up. I bought some lovely yellow and pink ribbon for the trim on the blue dress because the coral red wasn't coral red in natural light. It's more orangy that what I liked and didn't go with the wedgewood blue silk. Yellow goes a lot better and I want to place a pink ribbon on top of that. It sounds off but looks really neat together.

As for the snow; oh my goodness! This is so much fun! I did take pictures down on the Mall around noon because it seemed wrong to be in the center of DC during the big monster storm and NOT take pictures to prove where I was. :-) I'll, hopefully, be able to post pictures tomorrow.
