Changes to my LJ

Just a heads-up: 0verdrive has started recruiting his family members to get on LJ. While there's no way in hell I'm going to go through my archives to change entries to "Friends Only", I'll probably be a lot more careful about filtering my posts from now on (suxxor).

A veritable frenzy of activity

Hit the ground running on Friday night with an evening of booty-shaking at the Sellout show. Got a whopping four hours of sleep before getting up for a sewing marathon on Saturday. Failed two nap attempts but proceeded to the Saturday Sellout show and boogied down again. A combination of little sleep, little food, and general stress caused some severe stomach cramping, however, and as soon as the dance endorphins wore off (about 2 minutes after exiting the stage), I had to go lie down. Stomach pain resulted in little sleep Saturday night and Sunday I wasn't worth much. Barely got anything done on Sunday besides whine and moan.

It was fantastic to see everyone who came out for the Sellout shows. I think we sent Sunnye off in style. I wish I had the guts to audition for one of the lead singer openings. I'm a coward.

This morning was orientation for our new incoming graduate students. Fun for everyone. Things have finally settled down at my desk now and as I consider taking an hour off for lunch I see the part-time secretary leaving. Which means it's 2:00 in the afternoon already. Cripes.

The SAGE webmaster put up pictures of the department picnic from last year and I'm in one of the photos. I'm amazed (and a combination of proud/horrified) at how much weight I've lost in a year. Wow. Twenty pounds is a lot more than I thought.

This weekend I finished two pairs of bloomers, one petticoat, and all but the trim on the second petticoat. Due to lack of sleep I refrained from working on the bodice. That's on the menu for this evening. When I had to rip out the hem on even the petticoat (hemmed it inside out) I knew it wasn't the time for sewing anything that required actual thought.

OK, it's 2:30 now and I really am going to go eat something...
