The Zoo over Ambuscade Street

If I owe you time, attention, money, or anything else right now, feel free to smack me upside the head. In fact, please smack me upside the head, because I'm having Great Difficulty tracking everything I'm supposed to take care of at the moment. My schedule for the next couple of weekends looks like this:

This weekend: Mad VARF planning with Melissa, since we need to somehow find staff for the insane staffing requirements we've been given. Also, clean house like mad, because things have sort of fallen apart, and I'm repulsed.

Following weekend: Work, then drive directly from work to Va Beach for the baby shower. There are probably fifteen hundred other things I'll end up having to do there, since my parents operate at a breakneck speed that I can't possibly come close to matching.

Weekend of Negative March the ??: Wicked Faire. Have to somehow get all my stuff done for that beforehand. Well before. Because people need to eat, or they get angry. Did I mention at some point that I was going to have a special costume for it? Ha! No time. Tavern wench gear will have to do.

Sometime, I need to work some extra hours at work so I can have those banked again, too, but I have no frickin' idea when I'm going to have that time. Today, I need to come home and nap. Not being able to work full days without Consequences still really sucks.

Gah! Again - I need fifteen extra hours every day to get everything that needs doing done.

[EDIT] Hokay, I know that I owe:

-good_night Pictures - should be able to get those taken and posted tonight.
-huntressfan Money for the two Chrono Crusade DVDs
-transversecity Catered Dinner outline/pricing. Also pricing on condiments, etc.
-wednesday_10_00 Money for Tohru pinkies
-A baby shower gift for Elisabeth
-Valentines day gift ideas for Erik - I'm thinking of asking him to get the sewing machine tuned up, or my lovely brown go go boots repaired - the heel on one of them twisted right off.

I can't think of anything else. Hopefully, that's it.

Let it be henceforth known that I covet these almost beyond words.

[EDIT] Yes, I need the lolita boots. Anyone have an idea where I could find them? I'd need a US size 8-8.5 (24cm), so this site won't work since they're all sold out. *drool*

How is "Hypatia" pronounced?

Squee!!!! My Big Box O' Mall Goth Clothes just arrived, and I am thrilled. Especially with the shoes - those are some damn sexy shoes. They make even my feet look cute. They're a touch narrow through the ball of my foot, but...all shoes are a touch narrow through the ball of my foot, since they're all wierd and deformed. Not unwearably tight, though, and I'm going to try stretching them a bit to see what happens. I may go up a size in the future.

The shirts kick ass, the cuff I bought is freaking awesome, and I have super-cheap Samurai Champloo. I'll be keeping an eye out for future sales - I suspect they're related to inventory.

One of the blouses I bought (short puffy sleeved, front button, black, black and purple ruffle on the sides of the buttons) is super awesome - very EGL. I think I'm going to wear it to work tomorrow.

I'm also determined to get a complete (and completely awesome) frilly punk lolita outfit for this year. Erik has no say in this. ^_^ There's another outfit I have pictured in my head that I want, but it's going to have to be almost entirely custom made, and will probably run me about $800 after everything's said and done, so that's going to take a while. It will be awesome.

I sense my wardrobe undergoing a vast change this year. I wonder how that'll impact things at work? My guess is - in the direction I want them to go. ^_^
