Waiting, just waiting. Not being very productive. But hey–now I can cross blogging off the list! More later, you can be certain of it.

I was going to title this post “Ahh…Home.” Till I realized….um, I’m not home. I am back from a con in a different city, to a house where I sleep a lot of nights, and I have some stuff here, and it’s full of Jay and Jayness, but…yeah, I’m still in Portland. I’ll leave the

Wow, the costumes here! What a gorgeous con! Jay and I sat in the corner of the bar last night for an hour or more, which had a big window overlooking a staircase leading down to registration and the pool.

All righty then…I went out in the world today and hunted down the last pieces of what I need for SteamCon, so I think I can show my face there and not be utterly ashamed! Funny, though, the one things I set out to buy–a plain white blouse–was the one thing I couldn’t find (that’s
