Today is...

I finally got through the GRE. It's been a tough week over all. Alot of BS and other stuff going on. But one thing I will say, I got through the test. That is a positive.

Another for the persona challenge

Perhaps I should add embroidery of a different sort? German Brick Stitch

Look! Look!

I found an engraving from c. 1500 of a woman wearing a short sleeved dress. Nice! Mind you, she looks less than pleased at the antics of the juggler, but that's ok...maybe he's a rude doofus. :D The dress doesn't look too difficult to put together does it?

Hey, Venus is wearing short sleeves too! But she's dressed in velvet. I could wear this couldn't I...especially in those colors. Yummy!

ETA: Well, Venus may just have her poofy sleeves pushed up. But that's ok, the dress is still really nice. So is the other Venus dress, Lais of Corinth. Now that I think about it, that dress would be appropriate for me to make doncha think? ;p (Okay, maybe you don't get it. :D Corin is my middle name.)

BTW, Saltare went alright (I actually had more fun at the ball portion than the class portion) but was not the best choice for a first event since getting horrible migraines. >_<

Well Sometimes Alot Does Go On

Should I break it up into bits? Or should I just leave it in a spaghetti like mass for readers to untangle?
Hrm.

1. I'm on the road of applying for library school. No really. ACTUALLY applying. I already submitted my app (and money) and signed up for the GRE (doom and more money). I've requested all three letters of recommendation from the appropriate people and they're, well, I hope they're working on them. I've sent both transcripts off. I've gotten my cv and entrance essay written, they just need to be neatened. Now I just need to study like mad to actually pass the damned GRE. Here's hoping.

2. I'm going to try to go out this weekend. Saltare is this Saturday down in Valdosta and I'm probably going. Probably as in I've already made the hotel reservation but still have reservations. ^^; Why? I'm going without Alex...or Ashley. I'm going with Susan who is indeed awesome but I haven't gotten to know too well yet. I've also been encountered "people with the plague (cold)" at work and I am NOT happy about that (living in fear of coming down with something.) So I'm keeping my super-expensive strawberry & vitamin C drink nearby and worrying. I also fear that my time of the month will decide to join the party and that's just not cool. Especially since Saltare is THE dancing event of Meridies. Yeah, that's what I'm going to...and me not even knowing how to dance. ^^;

3. I'm thinking of switching from making the Juno Regina scarf with the silk lace yarn from Spirit Trail Fibers (she doesn't have the colorway listed any longer) to *gasp* crochet. Yeah, I'm wincing from your reactions. :) But here's the idea folks, I saw the actually decent crochet patterns over at MYpicot and thought there might be a rather pretty stole waiting to be made. I'm having some trouble getting the pics uploaded but you can see them here: 2007, 2012, 3017, 3025.











Well, that'll have to do for now. I'm going to snuggle in bed and play Final Fantasy XII or something. YAY for Thursdays! :D
