Yikes! I was away for two weeks, and it feels like I've been away for months. I actually wept when the ladyfriend met me at the airport today with flowers. I think it was a combination of gratitude, exhaustion, and sheer happiness at being home.

| You've heard of flowers in the attic. These are flowers in the shower...to protect them from kitties when we're not around. |
I feel like I've been here, there, and everywhere, and I have to say, I might be just a little the worse for wear for it. But it was worth it.
Some highlights -
I met the
Idiosyncratic Fashionistas at Coterie where I was working (and wearing) the
Kedem Sasson booth. Oh my god! Fashion inspirations! And they were soooo nice. There's
a photo of me on their blog post about Coterie! Excitement is flying from my fingertips!
I
indulged my fetish and got the Trapeze dress pattern and fabric. My mother and I went to
Mood Fabrics - famed fabric store of
Project Runway. I didn't have my camera with me, but the place is incredible and the staff was really helpful. It looks just like it does on TV - bolts and bolts of fabrics on floor to ceiling shelving. It was probably good that we got there with only 20 or so minutes to spare. But that was all we needed!

I also did an unexpected reading at the Women’s / Trans’ Poetry Jam & Open Mike night at
Bluestockings Bookstore at the behest of my friend H.D. Artemis who was reading poetry that evening. I got there late, just as my friend was reading. Despite being called up right after her (a bit discombobulated) and finding my pages a tad out of order, the reading went well. I need to do things like that more often.
