Never enough time~

[spritechan]

Couple quick things-

• Work meeting yesterday kept me until 8:20, not including the drive home (Ugh, no time!)
• Today some of the women from work got together for drinks/dinner after work, so I made an appearance in an effort to get to know my coworkers, so I didn't get home until late again.
• Tomorrow is International Day at work, and we're required to dress up. I bought a kimono and MAYBE an obi (I don't think it's the actual correct kind, but it's pretty), and spent a crapton of time ironing both. The obi was not saveable in terms of wrinkles though. I tried my best to tie a bow (see cut)* and then didn't want to undo it, and was effectively stuck inside it. Major comedy ensued as Steve tried to pull it off of me, and I was like a fat kid stuck in an inner tube. XD It didn't help that my skin was clammy from sweating in the effort to tie the freakin' material. I was all over the place in various forms of scrunchy, trying to be simultaneously as small and as skinny as possible!!! It was both embarrassing and hilarious.
• It has been in the 60's and 70's the past couple of days. AMAZING!
• Stuff has been happening regarding updates and such with Pam and dad, but I'm having dinner with my dad tomorrow so I didn't want to try to write anything on it before getting more info... because it's exhausting updating every 40 minutes about it.

They're not very good and I hope to have pics of International Day and whatnot, but here's a quick preview:


I think it looks pretty good for feeling like the obi was too short to begin with!!


This is a horrible picture to show the color. The most true to the way it looks is the very bottom-centery area with the cluster of flowers. It's like an off-white/cream/champagne color with a very pretty pattern.

Sounds hectic. =( Though, the tales of International Day sound pretty funny--all in retrospect, I imagine. I hate getting stuck in clothes. D=

Really jealous of the weather. We're getting through the last real cold spell before Spring hits in full. March is just rain, rain, rain, and 50s the whole way through. It'll warm up come April, but in the meantime, I'm TIRED OF BEING COLD AND PREGNANT. T.T

Hope the dinner went well!

Also hope you snapped some pictures of you in the kimono all dressed up for the event! =D

Also just realize I have never seen a pregnant woman in a kimono. I wonder if there are maternity kimonos...XD
