I got a message from my seamstress/oboe idkbff!Analise. The costumes are done for both me and Waffles. Her mom's going to bring them back this weekend (since Analise is in college and stuff), so we'll get them some time next week. Woot.
My adventure to raise money for the senior gifts for band has been a major bust. For some reason, I decided to spearhead the project. We have 14 seniors to buy for, and we're getting coffee mugs, etc. etc. 14 mugs at 10.99 (CafePress) plus shipping brings the total to 166.06. I asked for $5 from each band member, and only about 30 had to give (since there's about fifty sans seniors).
Yeaaaaah, I only got it from thirteen people. Just $101.06 to go. Luckily, the director stepped in and said he'd reimburse for whatever I couldn't get. Thank you Struykman.
The con is a week away(ish)! I'm going to send out PMs and such tonight. I just wish ACen would release their schedule sooner than a day before the convention. Wouldn't that be nice.
Aaaaand I'd rather not think about my money situation for the con. Let's just say I'm glad I get control over my bank account now. Though I do have tips from last week, tomorrow, and Sunday (Mother's Day), plus a paycheck, coming my way. I'll be fine.
Here's hoping I win that contest for the t-shirt.
