Playing Catch-up

Whew, okay. It's been a busy few weeks with Easter and the week after that I was at my brother's wedding in Texas. Miss Right & I have been Disneybounding each Friday but we don't always manage to get pictures, which drives me up the wall. I will shortly be posting the pictures we do have of our Disneybounds from April 18th, 25th, May 2nd, and today.

I dyed my hair black this past weekend:

which seems to have had a very strange effect on my personality, as I have felt really content and delighted with most aspects of my life this past week. I haven't been depressed, per se, but if you had asked a few weeks ago how I felt about my life in general, I would have said I was happy but and then there would be a litany of minuscule things I'd like to change. I still have petty things that irk me (have you seen the weeds in my backyard??) but, this week at least, they haven't irked me like they normally do. It's like coming out of a funk. A funk that, when last counted, has been a couple of months in the running. Needless to say, I'm over the moon about it. I feel energized and happy. I like my house, even with its unmown backyard and that dead bush in the front yard and all those wolf spiders I have to kill. I love my Buddy Holly and Peter Cottontail, even though taking care of them means I run my dishwasher every night and currently have no less than three loads of clean laundry piled on the couch, waiting to be folded. I love my job even! And there are some really exciting things going on there in the near future. I have two awesome pen pals, a whole community of fantastic geek women that I'm honored to know on Twitter, Tumblr, and Instagram. I have great friends at work and for DND nights. I get to go to the Renaissance Fair this year! I'm happy.

And, there's lots to look forward to this Summer too. Because Miss Right will be moving away in the Fall to begin Post-graduate life, we have a bucket list of things to do. Movie marathons, Pop's soda shop, vintage clothing sales, and the drive-in, to name a few. I don't know what I'll do without her when she's gone but she'll still be sending me her Friday Disneybounds.

On the way home tonight, I'm thinking it's take-out and maybe a stop at the liquor store for Tea-infused vodka or gin, to make a really good tonic. Buddy Holly and I need to rewatch the X-men Trilogy & First Class before Days of Future Past comes out. And we just started Pushing Daisies. And I need to finish my Sailor Moo rewatch. 

How's your neck o' the woods.

Disneybound 4/11

Disneybounding as Nancy from Enchanted. I was planning on wearing a ruffled ivory top and a sage green sweater but it was so hot today I opted for a knit top.

And Stitch! Turns out one of our co-workers has a ukulele in his office but we'd already taken photographs and Miss Right had gone for the day. Bugger!

Disneybound 4/3

The curl of her lips, the ice in her stare.

All innocent children had better beware.

She's like a spider waiting for the kill.

Look out for Cruella de Vil.

(Doesn't she look AMAZING?!)

 "But then she's never looked at me that way before."

Disneybound 3/28

Spring is finally in the air, so we went outside for pictures again. Our inspirations were Roz from Monsters Inc. and Mushu from Mulan this week. I think my favorite part of Roz was the make-up. I waited to do this Disneybound until I got my new cateye glasses and, though it's hard to tell in this picture, I only did a miniature cupid's bow of lipstick and added a mole to my chin.  

"I'm watching you Wazowski."

"Dishonor on you! Dishonor on your cow!"

Disneybound 3/14 & 3/21

So, Miss Right left for Spring Break vacation last week and Disneybounded on her road trip but missed out on today.

I made the lamest attempt at a Disneybound Violet Parr last Friday and was so disappointed in myself that I didn't even photograph it but am Disneybounding today.

Together, we've got both Fridays covered.

Disneybound 3/7/14

 This week, the weather is finally starting to turn and Aslan is on the move. We finally got to take some pictures in natural light! Thank goodness, those florescent are harsh. We Disneybounded as Carl & Cinderella!

Miss Right has mismatched rose earrings in Ellie colors and made the bow tie herself!

My hands are in the way but I'm wearing a necklace with a bird charm.

Disneybound 2/28/14

It is still freezing cold! So, Disneybounds are currently predicated on warmth above all else. Today was ALL 101 Dalmatians. I love Miss Right's red shoes!
