Yesterday I had by far my best sales day to date. I sold four dresses in a ~24 hour period! Woohoo!!! I can pay my bills this month! :-) I rewarded myself by buying some new books for my kindle, and I can't wait to start reading them.
Also, I had some really good time out in the sunshine. It was nearly 75 degrees at my house and so I went outside for about 45 mins and started to sunburn. It's been a while since I could go outside like that, since Washington hasn't been having the greatest spring. Hopefully it picks up soon cause I need more days like yesterday.
My novel is coming along pretty well also. I haven't added any new content in about a month because I get so caught up editing and trying to make all of my transitions smooth. I figure it will save me some time later on when I need to edit the entire draft, because most everything will be of good quality by then and I will have caught most of the grammatical mistakes etc. It seems to be a good workflow for me so far! PATIENCE! :-)

Nightmares about thieves
Last night I actually had nightmares about people stealing my skating dress patterns. We were at some big competition in Dubai where we had to complete all these tasks, and the 2nd to last task was to make a skating dress.
Sooo I drafted my patterns, only to realize I drafted in the wrong size. So I went to get more paper and then noticed one of the other adult skaters I used to skate with was stealing them, and didn't see anything wrong with it. I raged in my dream!! RAGED!
Other than that, my day was lovely (sarcasm) - I went to the dentist for cleaning, then had to go to the doctor for an emergency appointment because I have a bladder infection. Awesome, I know. So I got nearly nothing done that I wanted to get done today :( Boo...
Ah well, there's tomorrow.

Writing, setting up computer, sewing.
That's what my day will consist of! Well, I also need to catch up on like 4 shows that ALL showed on Sunday night. I chose to watch the Game of Thrones finale and watch the other three later. My BF didn't particularly like it, he's more of an "I WANT ACTION NOW!!!" type, while I don't mind story building one bit.
Speaking of which, we stayed up until dawn playing Dota on Saturday night / Sunday morning. It was spectacularly fun. I need a lot of practice still though, because I'm so rusty. My BF is super competitive when it comes to the game, and is displeased that he isn't a pro after three days of playing. I told him he is way too hard on himself and to give himself a break.
Anyways, he gave me his old 8800GTS to use in my computer (which I have almost finished setting up from my fresh wipe). It seems to work fine and runs Dota perfectly, so I probably won't be upgrading for a while and am going to ask for fabrics for my birthday instead - because I can turn fabric into more than its worth with a little extra labor. :-)
Also, I am working on my novel again. I can't seem to get past the 20,000 word point because I keep going back and editing stuff. I guess at least this way, when I finally finish it there won't be as many errors.
Food time.
