totchipandaWeekend ended up being rather whirlwind. The duct cleaning was done before I even left work. Friend and I planned to meet up Saturday morning instead, so I did a trip that involved keys, a local yarn store (I wanted some double pointed needles. I think), and then my friend's house. She said she hoped to have had the spoons to deal with the dishes before she left, but she hadn't, so I thought that while coming home is awesome, its even awesomer to come home to not having to do the dishes, so I ran her washer a couple times.
After I got home, Roomie J wanted to go to Party City bc his boss was sad that he wasn't planning to dress up today, so he threw together a plan really quick and the store he wanted to go to (that was the only one that had the thing he wanted) was on the south side, so out we went. We did not hit the halloween stores, bc Party City was bad enough on the Saturday before Halloween. Yiiiikes.
I did not plan to buy anything, but we checked out the Hallmark store (for Roomie M's Stranger Things ornament) and they had the Hocus Pocus LoungeFly bag with Binx as a fuzzy cut out on the front pocket so... I was irresponsible. But it's fuckin' adorable, so whatever.
Then we went to a mall... because the other part of his costume required a name tag and he wanted the classic "Hello my name is" tag, so we were looking in every store we could think of that might have it. By the time we finally got him, he was SO DONE with people he want to bed and was asleep at 8:30.
Yesterday was sleeping until 10:30, grocery shopping, cleaning the garage, and cats. I did not ever get around to vacuuming, or carpet cleaning, or movie watching, or helping my roomie dye her hair, or anything else.
Except for an hour or so spent trying out the trouser pieces. Turns out I had taken the back to a 14 already with my other mods, so I took it in a bit more, and then wore the mock-up while I futzed with the darts, turning the single dart into a double. While I still have gaping at the back and could probably use just a smidgen more room at the butt, it wasn't dragging the way my store-bought pants do. Thought I might get back to it later in the day so I held off on deciding what to make a wearable mock-up out of until later, and then never did manage to lol.
