Also, the party was great! I hope to post pictures soon on here. We drew faces on mini-pumpkins, read our stories, wore costume hats, ate good food, and watched some of the anime Ghost Stories and the first episode of True Blood. We are already planning on doing another get-together of this type with a winter theme.

This statement does not incite worry, or depression, or regret. As I stated in my previous post, this age finds me excited for the future. I had a quick thought Saturday night that my feelings might change once the milestone was actually reached, but after being 30 for two days, I had nothing to be concerned about. I still remain optimistic and thrilled.
I did not do much. After sleeping in some on Sunday, Mom made me breakfast - bacon and coffeecake, and I opened presents - some cash, several nice cards, the new Dan Brown book, and the Wolverine DVD. Then I spent time online before getting a shower and heading to Marion to meet my dad for lunch at Applebees. He gave me a $50 Wal-Mart gift card at the restaurant, and then we visited Grandma for a while, and I showed them my pictures from the June road trip and DragonCon. After that visit, I stopped by my other grandma's to say hi to her, and then headed home. Mom made dinner (meatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy, steamed corn, with cheesecake for dessert) and we watch The Nightmare before Christmas. Bedtime followed, and back to my routine today.
I want to thank all of you that wished my greetings, both here and on Facebook. They made my day and I really appreciate your thoughts. I have the best friends!
Your result for The Elemental Beauty Test...
Natural Beauty
50% Earth, 33% Air, 17% Water, and 0% Fire!
You scored 50% Earth! Outstanding!
The Earth element is a natural beauty. They tend to keep more toward greens, blacks, and natural colors for their wardrobe and their make-up, if they wear it to begin with. They tend to be grounded and not caught up in the latest trends. They are more interested in doing what feels right for them and being in touch with what is around them.
For inner beauty earth elements look for stability and commitment. They look after others and their family. They are realistic and tactile, meaning they aren't afraid to touch and be touched. But they can also be quite stubborn and unmoving when their mind is made up.
Zodiac signs for earth are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn.
You also scored:
17% Water: Water is the etheral beauty. They like things that drape and shimmer. The love vintage and heirlooms; things with emotional ties and history. 0% Water may mean that you don't trust or use your intuition. Equal Water and Air would indicate a person that is a hard worker with a need for security and an attachment to possessions.
33% Air: Air is the fearless beauty. They are offbeat and funny. The mix old fashions with new and love to make new trends. They aren't afraid to be new or crazy. 0% Air could indicate that you have trouble looking at things objectively. Persons with equal Earth and Air are usually those who think and use good common sense.
0% Fire: Fire is the alluring beauty. They like to wear bright colors and show some skin. They are sexually minded and spicy. They use a lot of charm to get what they want. 0% Fire can often be seen in someone that pushes and tries to force self-expression. An equal Fire and Earth person is someone who has the ability to be powerfully creative. Fire provides the motivation and Earth provides the tangible results.

Just need to finish the Spectrespecs and Dawn's belt, and everything will be done (well, except for the music for Dawn, but that won't take long).

-Shoes seem to have finally completely set - laced and ready to go.
In other news, I lost a piece of my tooth last night - it's either actual tooth or a part of the filling. Of course, the dentist is not open on Wednesdays, so I am hoping I can get in tomorrow. In the meantime, I get to chew on one side of my mouth - how fun.
The kittens are growing and growing. Pandora has finally come to accept them, even if she doesn't play with them yet.
William Shatner is now going to be at DragonCon! OMG!
I am completely sick of this heat and humidity.
Less than two weeks to get stuff finished for con - eek!
