A couple months ago, I posted an entry mentioning US Airways' new fees for more than one checked bag. As a fursuit owner, I was naturally concerned.

Well, I figured I should start planning, with two cons in the next two weekends here is my solution.



This carry-on bag contains all of the Tabbisuit, with the exception of tail and feet. I got it at one of our stores at the airport for $15. And yes! It is regulation carry-on size! Cat inserted in foreground for reference! XD

So yeah, I am pretty proud of myself. As for that gen chem grade, never take a chemistry lecture at 7:30 in the morning. x.x

I found those two videos of "Animal Kwackers", the old 1970's British kids TV. The fursuits were ugly and creepy. (>.<)

Here's the part 1:


Part 2:


Ugh...."The Banana Splits" were better than "Animal Kwackers". :P

*Facepaws*

My boyfriend wearing his Akita mask, named Mangle... err.. possibly improperly?

So, today was... interesting at work. I got in at 7 this morning and I predicted, based on the very short security lines at the time, it would be an easy day.

Boy was I wrong. O.O

On Mondays, I usually do about $1500 or so in sales. Today, I did $3500. x.x And to top it off, I had to work an extra three hours at a different terminal because someone pulled a no-call, no-show. Imma pass out now, k?

I was getting my first fursuit :)

So even if you're without much money, if you really like fursuiting, give it a try even if that means getting a cheap suit.
The fun you can generate is not proportional to the price of your suit, it's the way you act with it. :)

Remember that one?

Right now, she just announced that her 18th child is on the way!!!!

Good grief....the catholic Irish-American moms want MORE children!?!?

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!

The article:

I have to say, I'm so looking forward to ending my 6 month vacation with this new job. It's been a rough 6 months in my life, and I've gone through a good amount of emotional difficulties and stresses. But it's really true, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I feel like I've grown a lot during this "vacation", and I'm ultimately glad that I encountered all of the things I encountered. Life rocked the stability I've always had, and really forced me to deal with a lot of things. So here's to hoping a new start at a new job all works out well for me :)

I was talking to my roommate today who basically mentioned that he felt like he needed an adventure. To get out of this place and move somewhere else, to start anew. I do feel that myself to some degree, and I did what I could to encourage him to really start pursuing that if it's something he wanted to do. Yes, it would mean bad things for my current living situation, but I wouldn't mind getting out of here myself. I do have a problem where if I am stable and comfortable, I find it difficult to take chances... I often need something to shake me up a little and this would be one of those things. I've thought about doing various things, such as up and moving to a different state, buying a house here, or even taking one of those European coding jobs that I could possibly get. I dunno! All I know is at least for the next year while I work at this position, I'm staying put here in West Allis :) All it's going to take for me to really get ahead in my career is another solid year of experience on my resume, and that's what I hope to get at this new place.

Speaking of careers.. I really have to say I'm one lucky mofo. I started out doing Data Entry and basically worked myself into a field that has a LOT of opportunity, and I didn't have to take a single class, just show drive and initiative. Not many people can say that these days, and I thank jebus that I've been able to do this! I really think that I'm going to hold off on any sort of college like I'd planned in the past... there's just so much I could do with experience in this field, a field that I DO actually enjoy to some degree, for me to go to college and pursue something else. Because realistically, I still wouldn't even know what I'd want to go for. I can't say I'd ever planned to be into medical coding.. not even close.. but I figure if its something I don't completely hate, why the hell not stick with it. I've already got a good 3 years of experience under my belt.

In any case, I'm very excited about this new position. It's going to entail so much more than what I was doing in the past, and I'm thrilled that I have the opportunity. I just need to man up, be professional, and not get into the terrible habits I had in the past. I was fired for good reasons... I really thought that my career was going to be halted in its tracks and I'd have to start from square one. Thankfully, I have another chance at a significantly better position. I certainly will not waste this!

Next week is going to be my last week of "vacation".. Wednesday I have a pre-employment physical and drug test, Thursday I have to go to the corporate office and sign the papers to make everything nice and official. Other than that.. I'm taking it easy and doing a helluva lot of relaxing! I've also been frivolously spending money, which is bad, but hell.. I have a good chunk of change saved up that I figured I'd have to live on for the next few months, so why the heck not. After 6 months of watching every penny I spent, I might as well enjoy it by gorging on tasty food and buying stuff :P Hell, Ive actually started looking at new cars, and I'm thinking about picking up a used WRX in a few months. We shall see!

Nom!

Well it's not that far away now, and as I'm all set to go this year (despite work being a headache at the moment) I thought I'd ask the following as I've never been before and I haven't been able to keep track of who's actually going... X_x;

- Are you planning to see me at AC?
- What would you do if you saw me at AC?
- Any recommendations on things to do at AC?
- Any recommendations on things to do in Pittsburgh?
- Any general advice about AC?

[Oh, and to help people out, this is what I look like irl: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1064263/]

Went to As You Wish with raspberryroo tonight. It was pretty fun, and unlike last time, we had two hours to paint. ^^ Since tomorrow is Mothers' Day, I painted my momma kitty, Ruby, a water bowl.

Speaking of tomorrow, I better get my striped butt in bed. I have to be at work tomorrow at 5:45am. x.x

Sorry about the delays with photo posting. Was going to post more today but have been very ill on this end. Trying to keep myself as medicated as possible to keep working. So going a bit slower than usual until this nasty crud passes. I should be better tomorrow, but only time will tell.

So again bear with us on small delays here :).

(goes back to bed)

While my own personal preference is for small families--and it's my own, not for thrusting upon anyone else, my own opinion only--no one has mentioned that in my books, the regular families, for the most part, are large ones.

I know why I write them this way, rural agrarian cultures being what they are, but I'm shocked that no one has pulled my nose for it yet! ;-) Are my fans sleeping on the job?

I don't know how many here know this, but kitmf is active in party politics in Virginia on the local and state level, as is her spouse-creature. Some of you may have noticed in past threads that Kit knows quite a bit about the behind-the-scenes workings of peculiarities like superdelegates and who gets seated at conventions.

I suggested that she blog about some of this, and she has. Political Process or How to Become a Local Power is her post on how to get involved in party politics and maybe run for President in the state of Virginia, where she is a party member.

Politics: If You Hold an Election and No One Comes is about what happens when you really, really care about the delegates you send to the district and state conventions but you just can't be bothered to show up for the vote.

I don't know about you, but I'm liking it. Kit's not trying to make you vote for her candidate--she's just making our murky politics a bit clearer. She's bright, she's funny, and she includes the important stuff, like who brings refreshments.

Politics is concocted by real people who take over this woman's living room. Take a look!

Reporters from a LondonFurs furmeet from last year(?) have published their findings in the latest edition of Bizarre magazine. The article is (apparently) positive of the fandom, scans may be coming soon.

Is it Economic Stimulus Tax Rebate Check time yet?

*checks the mailbox for the hundreth time*

Nope. Not here yet. *sigh* v.v

Not really sure what I'll do with $600. Either save it for a new fursuit, or use it for a con next year, or........something else I've long wanted. *wink*
Although, I suspect I may have to dip into it for AC funding this year. Drat! >.

 I RP wolves and here are 2 pictures I've correlated  for my wolf charrie Fae.  I actually draw wolves so I thought I might post pics of that too. :) Please comment and tell me how I did. Thanks everyone. ^^
