I always make devilled eggs for gatherings. Love 'em. Also make good chicken wings marinaded in soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and lemon. Fry 'em up, yummy. Maybe that and an antipasto and some cookies would be a good buncha yum.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Laughing too hard here. Mom's ps included orders to block whatever mouseholes exist. She says she's getting to heart attack age.
But she's gonna get to meet Mister Kitty. She'll get over it.
Now if only I have a/c.... (2 weeks and counting.)

Allyson way back in another thread you mentioned something in wistful mode about your when your "book is published". As number one skimmer/skipper do I take it you have written a book? Or you are writing a book? Cause your style rocks; if you have written something I'll bet it is great. [ I mean besides your column and the articles you already publish.]

Aw, yes! It's a collection of essays called, Will the Vampire People Please Leave the Lobby? and it's about my adventures in fandom.
I'm querying agents now, and, fingers crossed, someone will represent me and get my book out into the world.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Someone do something for me, so I can thank them, stat!
I'd send you some treats if I had your address.
Aurelia, ita didn't answer. That means you should send them all to me.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I'm feeling meh about my hair. It's mom-hair. Longish, layered just enough for body, dark auburn of the leaning-towards-natural variety.
The cut's good. It can stay. Which means it's color time. Sadly, I just did it about a week and a half ago, so I can't do it again unless I'm using a semi, and anyhow, it has to wait until I have money again (please let me get more than 8 hours of work done this week).
So, as I have time to think about what I want to do. My hair got darker during pregnancy, and shows no signs of going back to the old light rusty brown.
Do I:
A: Go lighter and golder, to a nice copper Batgirl/Scully shade. Pros: summery, bright, bold, more like the me I hold in my head. Cons: would require stripping existing color, and would also lead to obvious root line within three weeks on account of aforementioned darker hair. Maintaining would require a dye with lift, so demi-perms are out as an option once the ideal color is reached, so damage would be an issue.
B: Stay dark, but go to a brighter cherry red. Pros: darker hair has more shine than lighter hair, wouldn't require stripping, can be done and maintained with a decent demi-perm, less obvious rootline. Decidedly not mom hair, and Paul likes it darker. Cons: too easy to tip from red to red-violet if not careful, cherry reds occasionally fade out to mud, not the hair of the me in my head, doesn't photograph as well as a lighter red.
C: Something I haven't thought of yet.
Any suggestions from the hairista crowd?
