D. and I have finally figured out the ratio of candy to trick-or-treaters: usually we have too much or too little, but this year we were just right, and have only 5 4 Bubble Yums as leftovers.

Just as trick or treaters were winding down, friends coming over were winding up! All of us except D. dressed; me in my Farscape duster, geekchick as a "Fairy Goth-Mother" (he r description), DW was pimptastic and HH was devilish.

It was potluck and movies, but we mostly talked; food was outstanding and company better :) Cats even came out and were friendly, mostly because of their extreme attraction to the fairy goth-mother wings ;)

I hadn't had people over in a long time before last night; I should defintely have company more often. There's an energy one can get from being around others that can't really be emulated any other way.

end of day notes

Got the chemise done; finished the hem while watching "Blackadder Goes Forth". The instructions for inserting the neck drawstring mention that the pattern will need to be altered if it shows above the dress neckline - now they tell me! No matter - it's simple enough to alter/remake (shudder!) if I have to. Next step: corset outer and completion of that project.

Have been swilling water all day because the weather's more like May 1 than Nov. 1 - sunny and nearly 80F (!). Enjoying it while it's here, but I know it can't last.

Tomorrow the historic fencing group I've been wondering about is finally meeting near me, so I'm going to go check it out and learn more.

Link of the Day: Fluffer Trax (thanks geekchick) - "Premium Adult Sound". I was hoping to hear some "techno porn" but so far it sounds like something out of Austin Powers or a '60s spy movie - terrifically bad and cheesy, but in a good way :) Listen and embrace your inner lounge lizard!
