Hi, everyone!

I might be a little scarce the early part of the week. I have three of us to get ready to go various places (for those who don't know, my boyfriend's father is ill and a hospice patient who lives with us, so any vacation means situating him in respite care along with the other parts of "getting ready"), cleaning the house because I detest coming home to a mess after a wonderful stretch of time off, finishing costume parts and hopefully having a few new batches of soap on the rack so they cure while we're away.

That makes for a tall order so I won't be here as much as I'd like, but I'll be in and out as I'm able. I'm still going to do the American Idol posts--I find I have more fun watching AI if I'm watching with an eye to repeating what I see, so I will try hard to do those posts this week.

Coming down with a stomach flu yesterday wasn't helpful either, as it sucked up time I'd rather have used putting things together for next weekend. The convention opens Friday but as the PS and I are staff, we're needed Thursday to begin setup, meet our convention's guests (can-NOT wait to meet Greg Ayres, a voice actor who does the English voice of the main character of a new favorite anime of mine, Negima--check out the video I posted in my video section here if you want to hear him, since it's outtakes from the English dubbing of that show and Greg's funny as hell there) plus deal with the inevitable "Oh my Dog we forgot..." that happens anytime you're throwing a bash for 3000 people.

SO--anyone who wants to be able to PM me here, just send a request and I'll get on it as I see the notices I get in my regular email, comment over at Pandora's Chest or email me at serrathescented at gmail dot com (do the usual to get the real email--I get loads of spam so I feel I have to make it tough on the spammers).

If you're interested in ordering, I will be shipping thru April 2. After that, I can process orders since I'm taking my computer (need to so I can dump pictures from my camera's memory card--last year I was too shy until the last day to walk up and ask to take a picture, plus I'm on the Volunteer staff helping organize our platoon of the best volunteers on the planet and want to get them at work as well) and the hotel has free wireless, so I can do everything but ship to you, which will resume April 9.

My current inventory list is at:

Feel free to shop and ask any questions you may have. If I don't get to your page before I leave, here's hoping you all have a great week and at least a tenth as much fun as I will be having this weekend, because that means you're going to have a BLAST!

See you Tuesday, if not before.
