From the Depths

This dress has been hanging in the back of my closet since this spring, but I think I've only worn it twice before. It's a shame be cause it really is a lovely dress, but I need to be in a particular mood to go about wearing an outfit with no real colours.

I can now also officially say that I have a "cascade" of hair. I keep being surprised by how long my hair is now. About six years ago, my hair was only an inch long, and I would spike it with coloured gels. Oh, being a teen!

The dress is a little large on me now - which drives home to me again how much weight I've lost since last winter - but it ties in the back which pretty much takes care of that.

I spent a large chunk of time today re-arranging the animal room and moving some of my tarantulas into larger terrariums. I think things went surprisingly well, considering I moved two of my larger and more skittish spiders. My hands did itch for a while afterward though. They used to use tarantula bristles in itching powder, I can see why! Definitely going to wear some latex gloves next time.

I came really close to purchasing another crested gecko (I already have 3) at the pet store today. It was orange with creamy yellow sides and big fat black dalmation spots. But I restrained myself, go me!

I hope you're all having a good week so far! Cheers!

Your tarantulas are cool! Your dress is really pretty- I wonder if youmight wear it more often if you made it a little shorter? You could do a lot of looks with it :)
Happy New Year!
