Now that I'm spending 8+ hours a day in front of a computer, it's time to start back up with the

• black pointy-toe t-strap pumps with kitten heels


• black & white stripy stockings


• black satin A-line skirt with lace trim at the hem


• white reproduction Victorian blouse w/ lots of lace at the collar, pinned w/ a bat brooch


• black crushed velvet princess-seam button-front overdress w/ a sweetheart neckline and lacing in the back to make it even more hourglass-shaped


• hair pulled back into a low ponytail held w/ a floofy hair tie made with black lace & black & red spiderweb ribbon


• the usual makeup (eyebrows, eyeliner, mascara, lipstick), and my glasses, because I wasn't up to putting my contacts in at 7:30 this morning




I'm fast becoming a believer in 5-HTP. Last night when we went to bed, my brain started doing its usual random chatter that keeps me from sleeping, and then it stopped. No constant "and this! and this! ooh, how 'bout this song! no, wait, this one!" that I can't seem to shut up. I just tried to concentrate on one image, and it actually worked.

(I'm sure there are those of you reading this who are thinking "Yeah, what's the big deal about that?" Count yourself very, very lucky. Some of us can't make our brains shut up when we try and sleep.)

So far, no odd side-effects. No, weaselmom, I have not started growing a tail or horns.
