Good things

[figment]

Yesterday I felt really positive despite the many challenges facing us. Azure and I went out for a picnic dinner to take advantage of the gorgeous weather. Later that night I made good dress-making progress; I'm getting very close to done. In fact, I'm pretty much down to hand work and embellishments and accessories at this point! Yay!

Today, it's a beautiful day, warm and sunny. Also, it's Staff Appreciation Day here at AU, which means that I've spent the "work" day so far running around playing a photo-scavenger hunt here (they billed it as a version of The Amazing Race). Soon I will go out and partake in the giant free barbecue. With really good veggie burgers (or meat burgers for those so inclined). And ice cream!

Tomorrow I'm taking the day off, so I will have a delicious 4-day weekend. There will be sewing, and cooking, and cleaning, which may sound awful to some of you but trust me I will like it all; and there will also be picnicking, and happy-hour-ing, and other fun stuff with friends. I am looking forward to it immensely.

"There will be sewing, and cooking, and cleaning, which may sound awful to some of you."

Don't worry when every you say things like that and make yourself sound very boring I remind myself of the duct-tape corset:)

Yay for the dress progress. That's so exciting. I love it when it gets down to bell&whistle refinement.

That is the fun part. I must admit I'm excited to see this dress.
