rivendellroseI hate how short weekends feel when I'm busy the whole time. That said, I got a lot done this weekend. Went to gaming night over at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nightsinger's place and hung out with her and tavern_wench1 and the mini-Time-Lady (and others, and my Boy), and, well, drank probably too much. Then went out to the zoo and to Greenwood Space Travel Supply Co. the next day, and Sunday... I bought all the stuff I needed to have Romana's outfit from "City of Death" for the con! I already had the straw boater and red shoes, so now I've got a black dress that I'll be fixing up, a white blouse, and a cute little red tie. I even learned how to tie the tie. ♥ I am stupidly excited about having this outfit - expect pictures as soon as the dress is finished being modified.
I also bought a new hat, a necklace, a new dress, some boots... yeah, I had a big shopping day. ;) Oh, and really really cute brown galoshes with orange and white flowers on them! They're adorable.
One other thing that happened - it appears that I have more snails. I now appear to have five, possibly six, trap-door snails. Which... is a bit of a rise from having two. The 3-4 (I still haven't gotten a good count, because they're little and they hide easily) new ones are itty-bitty, about the same size as the gravel... and they're going to need new homes, guys. I can't keep six trap-door snails in my one little tank, not once they've gotten bigger. And the first baby has been growing pretty damned fast. So, I'm going to check with the store where I got them from, but... does anybody want a pet baby snail? They're really cute, they eat algae off the inside of your tank, and they take minimal care!

Date: 2009-02-02 11:08 pm (UTC)That's one problem with the little guys - I'm running out of Masters! The first one was "The Master" until #2 showed up - then they became "Delgado" and "Simm" (because the little one was kind of dark-gold colored on account of not being covered in dark algae yet.)
I guess as long as I've got the others, it'll be... Braxiatel, Maxil, Flavia, and... er... Borusa?

Let's talk about the details at some point - I'm not sure what all is involved, honestly, but it could be a good thing to do.
