You don't know how much you'll miss it til it's gone...

Snark's head is getting a major upgrade, along with his feet, and I can't tell you how much I miss having that big blue maned feline around. The urge to fursuit keeps hitting me, much more so than when the head and feet were actually here. There are festivals (Common Ground, for one) to frolic, opportunities to be had, but I really am out of luck until I get him back. Of course, Griz will be here soon, and I'm sure there will be plenty of opportunities to suit when they both arrive.
AC is going on this weekend, and I'm really disappointed that I chose not to go. I am making a solemn oath that next year, I'm a goin. MFF can't get here fast enough, and even though I am enjoying the summer, there's something to be said for fursuiting in the fall.
I've been going to the gym pretty steadily for the past couple of weeks, and hope to lose some of this weight I've been carting around with me. My battle cry is SHUT UP, FAT! and it seems to be working. Of course, the new suit is based on my old measurements, so over the next 6 months it will be interesting to see how I transform.
Puppet building has slowed a bit. I've been too busy doing other things, but I have. Bunch of new anti pill fleece I want to make some of the little fellas out of. I am also working on my Halloween costume. I am going as the mad hatter this year. I've got everything ordered, now just need to purchase it. I'm making the suit jacket, pants and a couple of small details myself. Should be epic!
Did I mention I am also in the home stretch of my bachelors in nursing degree? Passed the dreaded stats with a B (how the hell?) and now have an environmental science class and to finish up my Community Health Nursing class and I am finito in August. I am so eager to be done. One of my instructors asked me if I was going on to graduate school.. Hells no, I am all about education, but come on! Enough is enough!
So, lots of things happening this year. Beer making has been put on hold until we work through the Stone Pale Ale (blech) and now some Oberon. I have probably 6 gallons of Mead, plus the stuff I bottled, plus the framboise (Giving Belgium the Raspberry) ale and my moose drool clone. Whew! If one didnt know better, one would think I had a drinking problem! The thing is, I have cut way way back on my beer because of all the empty calories!
I received a delightful card from the organizers of the Michigan Mile as well as some pictures. What an awesome event! I really wish I had gotten some with
tychoaussie but didnt get the opportunity. We'll get our chance...
Laterz!

That and a motorcycle ride.
BTW, Business takes me to southern Indiana next week and I'm taking the VFR. It looks a bit different than you last saw it, what with the side bags and the raised HELI handlebars, it's ready for some miles!
