Panda Academy: Where Teacher is Spelled M-O-M-M-Y

• Sep. 11, 2008 - What I've been up to & Halloween 2008 costume pics

So sorry that I haven't updated my blog, nor been around HSR, the past couple of months. What have I been up to? The list is long. * working hard on the 2nd draft of my sci-fi novel that I hope to finish and get published before I'm 80 * canning homemade and home grown salsa (turned out great this year!) * wondering why more than half of my 30+ tomato plants didn't make it and where the frell is my garlic that was growing so nicely just a month ago? * getting "dissed" by an actor in an interview for a comment I made on a fan board (a funny story for another entry) * trying to be good about homeschooling * having a 1 week break (son's request) turn into a 3 week "gotta watch the entire Alias boxed set that's been sitting on the shelf for 2 years" marathon * spending 2 1/2 weeks machine sewing, hand sewing, cursing, bleeding, getting poked by needles and pins, ripping out seams, remaking parts, making pattern pieces from scratch based off of online and video game imagines, and wondering why the bleep I'm hand sewing 52 leaves for a stuffed animal costume all in order to make K. and his Daddy Puppy this year's Halloween costumes * Trick-or-Treating at his Godparent's house (We're trying a new thing of going to friends and relatives houses early so Halloween night isn't spent running around like madmen.) * thinking about turning 38 come Oct. 1 * trying, oh so trying, to get K's room cleaned and organized for the first time in years On to pictures! (Sorry that some are big and uncropped. I swear they were edited but the photobucket code keeps posting them as they were originally.) This is the Pokemon, Empoleon, which K swears most kids will know. This is the main picture that I had to go by minus a brief glimpse of the back via his video games. What follows are the pics of him in the costume.   Daddy Puppy is the "no one will know him unless they're online or live in Japan" Pokemon, Shaymin. Thanks for reading and don't forget to watch my current favorite show, Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles on Monday nights, 8 pm, EST on FOX. Who can resist a show that focuses on the lengths a mother will go to for her son? "Not I," sayeth the geek mom of an only son. LOL! ~Heidi/CoffeeHeidi
