I hope everyone is having a good holiday season!  I'm finding that being Pagan with a Christian family and Jewish friends can make for a frantic holiday season.  I've uploaded new photos, but I can't figure out how to change the photo that shows on my main page.  Soooo...everyone gets to look at me 50 pounds ago for all of eternity.  Bwahahahahahaha.

The kilt arrived in time, though it took me all night Saturday and all day Sunday to convince Cisco that he needed to snip the threads holding the pleats down.  Even then, he didn't listen until I got someone else to tell him.  Jerk!  He looked great.  I wore my wow-I-found-a-mismarked-dress-and-then-they-honored-the-price dress, which was beautiful.  I think.  I still can't see myself the way others apparently see me.  We'll see if that gets better as I continue to lose weight, provided I continue to lose weight.  I also wore heels which were incredibly high and it was stupid to wear them in the dark on uneven ground, but I wore them.  Being the party girl that I am, I was ready to go about five minutes after we arrived.  How did Cisco and I end up married?

On Sunday I wore my accidental Moresca, and wow, I'm not used to boning anymore.  I'll post pictures if I ever get them downloaded from the camera.  The red must have been absolutely necessary for my costume, because I got two comments, both of them almost word for word the same--"You have fun colors".  Well, good enough for me.  I never got any comments before.  Though, I did wear only the skirt to summer camp today (part of my witch costume) and someone really liked it.  I'm a hit lately.  :-P
