Hero of Time (Constraints)

[Belated] Halloween part two!

Part of the reason I was a little pressed for time this past Halloween was because I was not making just one, but two costumes.  Sort of last minute, I invited DG to a friend's party.  It didn't seem totally fair to make him run out and get an outfit or to whip something up without much notice, I decided to pull something together.

By which I mean, I forced him to cosplay (joke's on you, honey.)

So friends, this is an excerpt out of my chapter on how to make a costume when the clock is ticking.

Chronicles of a Quarter-Life Crisis: Impulsive Hair Disorder

I have a problem.


I am addicted to changing my hair.  It is a problem that I have dealt with for years, but I feel I must come clean.  On the plus side, I may have also found a way to kick my habit.

It started out somewhat innocently.  Back in grade school, I had pretty long hair, but my mom noticed that I almost never wore it down.  It wasn't that I enjoyed styling it or even playing with it.  I couldn't be bothered by that kind of noise.  I always just kept it back in a ponytail or a braid to keep it out of my face.  So, being the practical woman she was, she suggested that I get it cut.

Life was never the same.
