I have sleeves!! All that's left now is hemming! holy mackrel it's a week before the event and I'm pretty much wearable...woah..this is a bizzare feeling. 

The waist line is really buggin' me though it's so freakin high! ugh. maybe tomorrow I'll try it on with stays and see if that helps. I'm thinking when my boobs are flat it'll actually lay flatter and sit lower *fingers crossed* 

Tomorrow on what is supposed to be one of the hottest days of the year we're apparently having a yard sale. It's more my upstairs neighbors yard sale and I'm along for the ride. I've got a small pile of things, if I clear $5.00 I'll be SHOCKED. but I figured why not right? 


So this morning I'm sitting on the computer chatting with Beth and madamekat in my half alseep stupor when I suddenly see a flash of grey go shooting under the coffee table. My first thought was it was the mouse that's been nibbling things in my kitchen. Then I noticed the big fluffy tail. A quick look at the chinchilla cages quickly reveal Roku is on the lamb. Shite. I run and wake Rob up. 

"Get up"
"nugh"
"I need you to help me catch Roku"
"WHAT!!?" *bounds out of bed*

Cue a three stooges routine where Roku bounds around behind all the furniture while we try frantically to catch him. Finally the bugger lets me scoop him up. He pretty much just snuggles under my armpit while we try to figure out if he hurt himself. Aside from being wore out  from a night of exploits he appears fine. 

Then we start assessing the damage. You see Chinchillas like to hop around, but even more than that they like to chew things. And this chin in particular is a chewer. So the damage starts to accumulate. One lamp cord, two of my pencils, one long lost wreath shaped chocolate AND it's foil wrapper, the iron cord is nibbled but no wires showing,then... MY BRAND NEW MACBOOK'S POWER CORD! @$*&@)!!!! At this point I contemplating how exactly one makes chinchilla earmuffs*. Luckily for us the apple store foiled his plot for apartment domination and replaced it for us at no charge. Otherwise a new one is $80.00!!! He is now looking at me smugly saying "that's right I know what to chew to cause the most damage" All I can say is if the little fuzzbutt makes a habit of this I'm putting HIM out in yard sale tomorrow**



"Look I'm all innocent. I have nooooo idea how all your stuff got chewed up"

*I would never really make earmuffs out of him, he's too small you'd get one at most***
**I would never sell him he's my fluffy baby
***I kid I kid

One earmuff for you, maybe - but do you have any American girl dolls around? ;-)

Ooo I DO have a Felicity Doll on Rob's dresser. *shakes fist at Roku*

Wearable chemise gown? Awesome!

And look at that picture...pure evil right there, I can tell! Fun-sized evil. (Like when my cat barfed on the in-progress pink sack. He's lucky he's really too big to punt out of a window. Also, I guess I kinda do like him...) Fun-sized evil with teeth.

if you are still having issues with the waistline, add another drawstring to the waist, then wear a wide sash.
