Gray as Gray gets
Jul. 31st, 2025 10:40 pmDidn't bother with the pool but at least it was only 80 today so that was nice. I was forced to park on the far end (away from where I usually go on 4th street in Steubenville) and that means I could see stories I can't while driving. To my surprise it was a cigar store, a book store and a boutique grocery. And I found out what the other building was (like the only new thing around) is the Pugliese Stem Academy, which is dedicated (starting last fall) to train local h.s. students to do science jobs in this area (which is HIGHLY depressed for the last 4 decades ever since steel failed).
I also heard two different people answering to the name Santino and one Angelo. And I finally found the 102 year old Italian restaurant I was looking for. Might have to hit it up for lunch.
Might have bought my first Halloween decorate for the year. I blame JK
Have some community recs (I'm missing one that I wanted to share but now can't remember)
emotion100 A drabble community based around emotions. (I decided to join, I'm losing my ability to write short again)
get_knitted Crafting, of all kinds

Date: 2025-09-10 09:53 am (UTC)I'm torn because I'm going to wear it at least twice. And I found a underbust corset I love... which is at least $150. So I don't know how much I want to spend. But we'll see.

Date: 2025-09-10 03:37 pm (UTC)Yep I paid about 100 for mine but I wear it yearly. However, I now have two period accurate gowns and don't need it and I'm like okay ONE day of the steampunk I absolutely need to wear this damn thing
