I hate sewing.  Period.  And to think I spent a week making an 
Annakin costume.

Melody, I have tickets already to the Vista Ridge theater in the 
mall.  7pm, that Friday night.  We should meet and sit together so 
we don't feel ridiculous! :D

I was warm, too!  I walked all over the neighborhood and didn't even 
get cold.

I love it!  Sounds like you had fun.  I only got to wear my costume 
for a couple of hours :-(.  While I was wearing it, I kept 
thinking, "Gee, I wish I really was a Hogwart's student!"  Aren't we 
all such dreamers? ;)  That's what makes it fun.
