::sweatdrop::
I finally got confirmation on my kimono today. Last night I was on the verge of tears because I didn't think it would be here in time. According to the tracking, it was sent yesterday and should arrive tomorrow. It is in transit to Kansas right now if I am not mistaken. Lemme look, just in case it's gotten closer to Florida...Well, it still says in transit to Kansas. Or it is being shipped to Kansas. I hope that isn't the company's fuck up or I will drive out to San Fran and rip some new assholes.
I am rather curious about it, but I'm going to wait until tomorrow to figure out what the hell is going on. And if I don't get it I am going to be one very pissed off Vonnie. Almost makes me not want to go to the party at all if I don't have a costume.

It's freaking cold
If anyone hears me say that I wish for cold ever again, slap me. No, bitch slap me. Even better, pimp slap me with some baby powder. I wanted cold and by god I got cold. It was 51 degrees when I woke up this morning. And it's windy. It's 61 right now, but it's Florida. It should stay a comfortable 75 or 80 degrees at all times, with cool breezes. We don't have heat so I'm bundled up in my rugby jacket, fleece, and Kyo hat. With a cup of strong ass coffee. I held the pot up to the light after I brewed it and I can't even see through the liquid in the pot. Of course I don't drink it with sugar, just a little cream, and it's strong enough to put a little hair on your chest. Blech. But it's warm.

The pants construction last night turned into a disaster. We messed up when we were cutting the fabric, and I'm thanking my lucky stars that Coop bought a few extra yards. He went home last night and is cutting the correct pieces so we can pull the pants apart and start again. I still haven't gotten any word about my kimono from the company, so I have to call the credit card company and see if they have already charged me for it. If they did and they don't send me my outfit I am going to drive to San Francisco and personally bitch someone out. Anyone. They have a store there, so whoever is working there that day should hide.

Busy busy day
Today was quite busy.
When my boyfriend and I finally woke up that is!
We ended up taking his kids out to lunch and then making a trip to the supermarket. I'm surprised we didn't come out of there with every item in the store since we had the kids!
Not too long after we got home a friend of mine came over because I am making his pants for halloween. His party is Saturday, so I'm trying to overtime it to get these knickers done. We got the cutting done today while I was waiting on the sewing machine, and he is coming back over tomorrow morning so we can hopefully finish those suckers off. I feel like a cheater since I got fed up with sewing mine and just ordered a kimono from San Francisco. It should be here soon, but I'm worried since I didn't get a confirmation on my order in my email. Coop and I figured since I ordered it so late on Friday that the order will be processed on Monday and I should have my kimono in my hands by Thursday. I hope to god I get it by then, hopefully earlier, since I had it two day shipped UPS by air. I feel so bad for him. He had is velvet sent FedEx on the 10th to Georgia so his normal seamstress can make the cloak, but it hasn't gotten there yet.

I am super happy right now. I got an email this afternoon from a girl in Russia asking if she could translate one of my fics and post it on a Russian site. I've never had a request like that before and I am totally flattered. Beyond flattered. I can't believe that someone wants to translate my work so more people can read it!

It's time for me to go to bed. I have to get up early tomorrow to get those pants done. Well, at least after my coffee!

For those who are interested, my site is http://www.geocities.com/bblackdahlia/index.html if you would like to visit. I'm not to pleased with the layout I made. I got this wild hare to do a layout on my own, spent days on it, and now I'm not happy with it, haha. I need someone who can do kick ass graphics for me so I can make the layout and then have a kick ass graphic to display. Oh well, all in time!

Wow
I haven't been here in forever. I totally forgot about this. Shit happens.
Well, I've got my own site going now, if anyone wants to check it out. It is called Ninja Food, and it is dedicated to Inuyasha. The URL is http://www.geocities.com/bblackdahlia/index.html.

Sorry if I've been neglecting everyone that I've met on here. Things have just changed so much within the past few months so much it's insane.

Oh, and I'm getting married. Whoo!

Sorry I have been rather neglecting lately, lol. I have been busy around the house planning a remodel (and watchign WAY too much HGTV) as well as working on my story. I've had 21 reviews since I posted it earlier this week. I am so happy!
I ended up going to the mall yesterday with Blas and Jeremy. We haven't really had a break since Daytona, and that was still technically working in a way if you think about it. I ended up picking up a copy of Absolute Boyfriend since that is one of my newest addictions. It is such a cute storyline :) I was almost tempted to get the newest copy of Fruits Basket since that is the only one I am missing, or I think books 5, 6, and 7 of Inuyasha, but I didn't have the money to get everything I wanted. I was trying to be thrifty, hehe. Blas ended up buying me this super adorable hand mirror that I absolutely had to have. It was made in Peru, everything hand painted.
There was this Japanese store in there, so I had to go in. There was two of them, but I couldn't find the older one. So I had to settle for the new one. He had all sorts of swords and stuff, so I asked the man if he had kendo sticks for practice, and I guess I wasn't very clear because he led me to the candles. I am not sure where he came from because he didn't speak very much, but I knew it wasn't from here. I did find some at another little shop that sells all sorts of weapons and such, but they were too expensive and I wasn't very impressed with the weight. They also had these things that looked like playing cards, but they were metal with nice little edges on them, so if you threw them at someone hard enough they would have a very bad day, lol. I don't knwo what they were called though. But they were nifty :)
After the shopping we went to see Scary Movie 4. It wasn't as good as the rest of them, but it was pretty funny. Especially Brenda, lol. I love that character!

Time for lunch, See you all later!

Damn. My computer doesn't detect my camera so I can't post my pictures :( ::cries violently::
Maybe I can try Blas's computer. Windows automatically detects everything, unlike my apple. I think that is the only downfall of this thing. It just tells me to get a new camera! The one I use now is the same one I have had since 1998 I think, lol.
Laters!

Ok, I have a quick question to ask of someone, anyone, lol. Like I mentioned in a previous post, I have an Inuyasha fanfiction started. I am afraid to post it until I have a beta. That, and it doesn't have a title. If anyone on here has free time, or if anyone knows anyone with free time, that would like to help me out, I would be forever grateful. It was just a story that was eating a hole in my brain until I put it on paper, lol.
If anyone wants to help, just email me at bblackdahlia@yahoo.com.
Thanks!

Things with my room turned out brilliantly. I am taking pictures soon to post tomorrow. I am still not done moving some of my boxes around yet so they need to find a home. Other than that, it looks great compared to what it used to be. I have a bunch more room to move and breathe. We got rid of my entertainment center, and that was taking a lot of space that's for darn sure. So we have the TV sitting on top of my speaker box that used to be in my car. Yeah, we pulled it out of the car, put a different sub in it and we are now using it for surround sound. It is great when you are playing something like FFX. You can hear every one of Tidus's footsteps, hehe.
The desk and dresser are still a bit messy. Well, Blas's desk is anyway. Mine is nice and clean. I still have to get rid of a few catalogs and the like though. I have a few from this company called DHC. They are a company out of Japan that sells a lot of beauty products. They sell this face wash that I am addicted to that is an oil, but once you wash it off it sort of suds. I have a touch of acne (not as bad as you see on the proactive commercials, but not completely clear either) and half a week of using that face wash cleared me up. It was beautiful!
Sorry if I am all rambly. I am taking a breathing treatment right now so I am sort of hyper. The treatment does it to me, hehe.
Blas and I cleaned up so much today I am having a yard sale next saturday. Maybe I can raise up some money finally. Either that or I'm going to put my paypal button up on my media miner account, lol. Please donate to the Feed the Vonnie Foundation! Yeah, I've got an Inuyasha fic that I plan to post on media miner and ff.net as soon as I find a beta to look over it first. If anyone is interested let me know! I just require chapters back pretty fast since my goal is to post a chapter a week. It should be about 13 chapters long. I have all of them planned out, I am just worried about writing some of them. The first chapter flowed like hot wax, there are just some later ones that are going to be a bit of a challenge. But if I didn't want a challenge, I wouldn't write!
Ok, done with my treatment. Time to return to Jeremy's room to watch Advent Children. A friend of mine from Orlando is down and he wanted to watch it.

Laters!
