I know whereof you speak Laura. It seems like any time I settle in with a book to read these days I'm asleep within a few pages. Used to read 60+ pages of fiction a day. (To be fair, I do tons of reading online and as a part of my job, but rarely sit down and get through a book anymore.)
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

Ziploc bags are the salvation of the collector/gamer/crafter who's moving and has piles of loose things that need corralled in a semi-organized fashion.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I think I'm going to be Louise Belcher (from Bob's Burgers) for Halloween this year. I already had the hat, and I just found a perfect green t-shirt dress on Amazon for $13. And I would probably make pigtails out of black yarn. It's so easy it feels like cheating.

Excellent!
My costume is coming together, although it doesn't entirely seem like a costume to me. Head to toe, it'll be a purple witch hat something like this , a spider-web poncho , elbow-length black leather gloves, this spider skater dress (why are they called skater dresses? Ice skating?), Vampire Bat hosiery , and these shoes . And maybe the purple dragon wings I picked up at the Ren Faire this past weekend, although I suspect they won't work with the poncho. The color scheme is right, though.
I've worn the hat and shoes a couple times before on Halloween but I was never happy with what I had to go with it. I think this might look pretty good. But I don't know what to call myself when people inevitably ask me what my costume is.
I could almost get a Fairy/Witch swap going, like, tiara, wand, and wings to hat, cauldron, and poncho, but I'm not sure that the concept is worth the effort.

Our wings are not tired.

So delighted to see you having fun.

I am choosing to think of it as very late Sunday until I get to work, for I feel the impending Mondayness looming above me and wish to delay it as long as possible.
