Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How freaking irritating.

The spot where I got the cortisone/xylocaine injection last week has flowered in red bruising, aches, and is slightly numb to the touch. On the upside, the ailment I needed steroided is asymptomatic.

I just didn't know it was a tradeoff. If it's still doing this tomorrow, I'll have to call the ortho. In the meanwhile, I'm left handed.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Y'know. I should put together a shopper's tour of Dallas. It's one thing we really have going for us. I could schedule it for when Neiman's does their rack sales, get my store to do a sale, put Sam Moon and all the other stores like that on the list, Grapevine Mills outlet mall and the ones on Alpha. Plus North Park, The Crescent, and the shops over in HP for high rollers.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Maria, if you end up giving them matching purses, you can put a little different colored ribbon or silk flower on each one for the day of the wedding so they don't spend their lives figuring out who's pourse is who's.

Something's better than nothing.

I guess. I am SO AMBIVALENT.

Which tells me something I should know.

Also, shiny faceted black beads with marcasite would be very pretty.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Heather, I totally would do a shopper's tour of Dallas.

That's a good idea, Trudy. I didn't even think of that.

Also, shiny faceted black beads with marcasite would be very pretty.

Now where's the ambivalence in *that* statement? It looks suspiciously like an opinion to me. Hah! sarameg's an IMPOSTER on the ambivalence front. Or not.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

You could make a fortune doing that, Heather.

That is to say, a shopping tour with your expert guidance sounds like a lot of fun.

Oh, when it comes to jewelry, I DEFINITELY have opinions.

Just not in the earning of the filthly lucre to acquire the shinies.

The status is NOT quo.

Maria, if you end up giving them matching purses, you can put a little different colored ribbon or silk flower on each one for the day of the wedding so they don't spend their lives figuring out who's pourse is who's.

This is a really nice idea, and it can become symbolic, too. My dearest friend had a Ren wedding, and she made each of her bridesmaids a garland for our hair. She used a different color ribbon for each of us to symbolize our relationship with her; for example, mine was green because I was the newest of her friends in the party and she wanted my garland to represent the fresh new growth of our friendship. It was really touching and meant all the more to me because of it.
