I’m beyond happy and blessed to be in Rochester 🙂 this is definitely a happy place for me, and seeing messages and notes from friends here or on there way is awesome! #kdlbadventure #zk2018 - on 6/20.

instagramed: First flight, I knit and listened and did some brain work with the ebook copy of the book I’m relistening to, Super You by @emilyvgordon – My mini-me LegoKristine in her legoEsme joined me for the Ginger Ale. She’s still cosplaying Wonder Women, which is appropriate for the book and so many other things in my life. #kdlbadventure #legofriends #superyou all part of the road to #zk2018 - on 6/19.

instagramed: Hello Denver @denairport Thank you for a @jambajuice that fits in Esme’s cup holder (medium Aloha something yummy) and oatmeal to refill my tummy. A little break on my way. Waves at my friends local to here who will also be winging there way to #zk2018 in the days soonish 😉 @shanalines @butterflyem4 #kdlbadventure - on 6/19.

instagramed: I just took a very rushed trip through @flypdx but I must take my @pdxcarpet pic all the still 🙂 this starts officially #kdlbadventure and my journey towards #zk2018 ! - on 6/19.

instagramed: Knitters – boosting the signal #cantstopthesignal I love Melanie’s colors and yarns, I’m knitting a lace shawl in one right now and have another top planned very soon.

instagramed: An easy, gentle on my tummy lunch. I always get butterflies traveling, even when I’m excited. So malt-o-meal, just how grandma made it, with a little sugar sprinkled on top. And English muffins with peanut butter. Good stuff! #kristineskitchen - on 6/18.

instagramed: Kate Bishop (“girl” Hawkeye, from the Matt Fraction series of comics) has a great quote here and Laura from BombDotComGeekery has some great words (below). The feeling of being a little like a superhero in my own life is grand, and i #wycwyc that like I do everything else in my life!!! Superhero pose activate!! 💜💜💜 #Repost @bombdotcomgeekery with @get_repost ・・・ Look at me, actually posting Marvel on #MarvelMonday for once 😂 Anyways, here’s Kate with some wise words. 💜 I think being a ‘superhero’ in your life is easier than some people think. It doesn’t mean we all gotta go out there and punch Thanos with our bare fists. Even just small acts like helping an overwhelmed friend with their work or mailing your sister a handmade card when she’s having a bad week……. I think we can all be everyday superheroes in our own worlds of family and friends. 💙 I don’t care if that sounds sappy, but I think we all have a range of superpowers but since many of us aren’t ‘earth shakers’ we ignore them. But we all have the capacity to change small things in small ways, and we shouldn’t think less of ourselves for being “small”. 🌎 Okay that was a ramble brought to you by morning espresso. My point is, never discount the power of small acts of kindness. 💜 - on 6/18.

instagramed: I’m all about bags inside of bags. (Well, all the time, but right now it’s during packing) These pink Bagail packing cubes in 3 sizes help me not only compress my clothes even but divide them up into categories. I also have the makeup hanger that’s the same brand and I like that. And the GoToBag set is water resistant and so I pack them with my toiletries and cosmetics (and if I’m being honest, the more leasable things get a baggie of their own on the inside to prevent mixing of spills!). I found both these things on Amazon at different times, when using different suitcases with inferior features like less dividers, and I’m still using them all together today. 🙂 anything to help keep me organized, right?! 🙂 #kdlbadventure - on 6/18.

instagramed: I put cool enamel pins on my jacket so I went one step further and got an awesome patch to sew on too. Decided my trip was the right time to unveil all this awesomeness, if a light jacket is ever needed 🙂 #geekygirl #kdlbadventure - on 6/15.

instagramed: Having fun picking things from my makeup desk that will join me on my #kdlbadventure I feel like having options is usually a nice thing, and makeup is small right? Too much lipstick? I did have someone who wanted to see some lipstick techniques at zk (winks at @straw.emily because I can use that as an excuse even if we don’t pull it out and play!) my makeup fun is part of who I am 🙂 #fancifulchatter - on 6/15.

instagramed: (From bed) this room is so dim, how will I ever see to get anything done. *narrator* (all she needed was to open some curtains.) Ahh, how I can the laundry all over the floor. Thanks narrator, I better wash that. 😛 - on 6/15.

instagramed: French braid, with a flourish, on the top! (Apologies to Arrow 5×20 for borrowing dialog 😛 it just comes out!) - on 6/14.

instagramed: I found a heart in last night’s strawberry shortcake at Sweet Tomatoes @souplantation 🙂 - on 6/13.

instagramed: I thought, ok, I’ll make lego kristine and her Esme a little enclosure so she’s less likely to fall out of my bag or get left behind. I pulled out the bag of roller coaster pieces because they were up here. I decided it had to be sturdy enough she wouldn’t just roll out it, duh, so that meant certain structural requirements. And now I’ve built this throne of an enclosure around her. It’s possibly too big now to put in my carry on. LOL! So I hover back to the idea of putting her loose back in my charger bag 😀 thoughts on my silliness?!!! also, she’s still cosplaying Wonder Woman, but she might change clothes to something else for her adventure with me. Because you never know when a less than easy situation could feel less scary when I take a pic of Lego kristine doing it first. 🙂 #legofriends #kdlbadventure - on 6/13.

instagramed: I love my library 🙂 @van_library is such a happy place to be. I’m knitting on my Crockern Tor shawl waiting for E to get here from his bus for date night. #zk2018teamlol #zk2018team😂 (even though it wasn’t done it time to count!) - on 6/12.

instagramed: This is the *perfect* sticker for a rest day on a super busy week “you can do anything but you can not do anything”. Worked on getting my planner set for my trip for a few weeks, with my favorite dirty chai at my favorite coffee shop @blackrock_broadway 🙂 I will make progress tomorrow on my rest day but I will also remember not to try to be a super woman! #wycwyc - on 6/12.

instagramed: After last week’s “I forgot my knitting at home for a whole Tuesday out” fiasco, you better believe I was checking and triple checking my bag for it today!! Bonus Esme on the bus 🚎 pic, she’s all secure and safe for her ride downtown. - on 6/12.

instagramed: Roasted potatoes and poblano, mango, and chicken topped with cotija hand tacos. Yum. Plus instant pot Spanish rice. #kristineskitchen Eric did the shopping, and food prep for the week while I was in bed with a migraine, and then put things in today between work so we could have a late lunch together. Great stuff! - on 6/11.

instagramed: Liking my look today with #colourpopme colors on my eyes in Howlin’, Secrets, and Backseat on the upper lip and Fault Line below. @colourpopcosmetics Glass Slipper Blush and Unravelled Lux Lipstick. The only issue with this eye look is that it’s very light once I put my glasses on, and I probably could have down with a little heavier hand or a nice eyeliner to accentuate my lines 🙂 but I love how these colors go so nice with my outfit and jewelry so I’ll take it 🙂 #fancifulchatter - on 6/8.

instagramed: Waiting for an appt and this one is having a harder time relaxing, despite water fountains to listen to in the lobby and my knitting in my lap. I’m dressed up cute and with lovely soft sweet clothes. Formulating good and concise questions is hard, yo! (I’ve been working on that task for more than today though, it just comes down to now!) My knitting is coming along, I’m on the final section! But each row is taking longer than an ep of tv now, which is making me worry it may not finish to wear at zk. Or maybe it will finish there and I can wear it unblocked. And that’s fine! - on 6/8.

instagramed: I am most definitely channeling my inner Psylocke from X-Men today. I mostly know her from the movies but she’s been in a few comics I’ve read. She’s very purple and very badass. Like me and my purple hair and handknit tank. My glitter earrings came from @theburntpixels and help cap off the look 🙂 #marvel #marvelgirl #ladiesofmarvel #psylocke #geekygirl #fancifulchatter lips are #Colourpopme Lux Matte Maxed Out. - on 6/5.
