The canines are back in my office after being ostracized for several days. The sleeping has begun.
The all-furry team was banished over the last few days because I was sewing a costume for the Follies (
http://sandpoint.org/mardigras/), which is tomorrow. I have very, very tiny bit role as an Egyptian backup singer (except I don't sing).
To create my costume, I toddled off to Goodwill and got some fabric, a slip, and a (girl's!) dress that I have very sloppily transformed into somewhat of an Egyptian look. (I'm going to look like Cleopatra's really ugly stepsister or something.) Unfortunately, I'm an incredible slob when I sew. Inevitably, I spill the box of straight pins, and endless pieces of thread and fabric litters the floor. My office looked like it was hit by a bomb.
However, my total outlay was $11 and it didn't take very long, so given that I'll be on stage for approximately 2 minutes, that's all I was willing to muster. The word on the street is that the Follies sold out in 8 hours this year. We got our tickets, so we're good to go.
Meanwhile, order is restored to the canine universe. They were really, really cranky about not being allowed in here. Yes, they are creatures of routine!
