the lonesome lows don't quite go away overnight

I wrote up my Evil!Annie cosplay how-to (with pics of the process and final product) HERE.

Under the cut are a few images I've posted elsewhere of other cosplays I found noteworthy!

 If I believed in god (well, I kind of do. It's complicated.) I would say that he/she/it was definitely making up for lost time this weekend. More likely, it's the fact that my making good choices actually rewards itself, whether by chance or by plan. 

I was originally going to spend the whole weekend at home, so this weekend was left empty of plans around town. Turns out that's exactly what I needed. I had a fantastic and relaxing evening with Tiffany last night, dinner at Panera and then mall-wandering where I found two super-cute dresses at Old Navy on sale and a fedora (THE MISSING PIECE TO MY JANE COSTUME) on clearance at Claire's. BOOM. Then today, after taking T to work, and knowing that I had no deadlines looming, I took my time having lunch, getting coffee and reading at Starbucks, wandering Salvation Army (and running into D and L in the parking lot. They don't even LIVE in this town. Totally unexpected and totally awesome since our usual Sunday is canceled tomorrow), chatting with B while she was on layover. Get home, and my cat comes back (he'd gotten out in the AM) after both neighbors checked in. One is a potential cat home (YAY) and the other, now that I think about it, might want my couch and bed, which would be A-MAZING because then I wouldn't have to move them to Goodwill when inevitably no one wants to purchase them. DOUBLE BOOM. 

Watched some X-Files, got about a foot added to my scarf, and a running start on the first skirt. Some packing, too, which at this point mostly consists of sorting and throwing a ton of crap away. 

And to top it all off, after two and a half months, I FINALLY GOT MY PERIOD. *tosses tampons in the air and dances*
