BTW, this week's drabbles have been wonderful and painful. Excellent topic, Steph.
Mine's a little silly. Actually happened, thankfully not to me.
Just Making Conversation
“Can I help you find something”
“I’m looking for long underwear for my boyfriend.”
“Is this for hunting, skiing. . .”
“It’s for keeping warm. I want the warmest you have.”
“Okay, well, this rack is all Expedition Weight. Do you want help finding the right size?”
“Oh, yes. He’s lost twenty-five pounds, so I know he isn’t the same size he used to be. I think he needs a medium, now.”
“Twenty-five! That’s great! How did he manage that?”
“Liver cancer.”
“Oh. Um. Here we go, medium. The girl at the counter will ring you up."
Hee, -t! Almost same thing happened to my mom. She's had a perm and set her entire life, and then got a short little pixie cut. Ran into someone she hadn't seen for a year who was all "Pats! LOVE the hair! What made you decide to do something so DRASTIC?"
Mom was all "Well...chemo."
Yeah, that's one of those questions that should probably never be asked; no way it isn't awkward.
The Thanksgiving I was diagnosed with MS, my sister Alice and her husband Nick were over, and she was adoring my makeup: you look so rosy, just a perfect colour for you.
Nice. Ta ever so. I'm not wearing makeup; it's a fever from the disease.
(still in LA)
ita and I did the club velvet rope VIP thang last night. Am ready to write the prologue to this damned book. I wish Kristen had felt well enough to come along.
(exiting LA for SF momentarily)
(Le Montrose computer has hiccoughs)
Sail? I have something to send you if you're still up for it. I just want to make sure the e-mail address I have is a good one to send to.
If anyone would like to beta my first chapter, let me know. The novel is sci-fi, but the sf elements have not emerged yet.
Glad to hear that the clubbing was productive, deb. Travel safely.
New drabble time!
Challenge #118 (things better left unsaid) is now closed.
Challenge #119 is advertising. Now new and improved, with 100% more drabbling power!
-t, my profile addy is good. Looking forward to it!
I wish Kristen had felt well enough to come along.
Me too! I'm sad that I missed the night out. I bought cute things to wear and special underwear and everything.
-t, my profile address should be good. Hit me if you'd like.
