Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
trimming back an overhanging tree, pulling weeds, gathering trash, climbing a tall ladder to try to pry a huge sign off the second floor, and fun things like that.
You need to read the fine print before you go signing employment contracts, missy! For *you* I hope the weather's not too hot.

Oh, good Lord, Hec. She sounds crazy enough to be one of ours...the J clan is mishegoss central, except too goyish to read the same books as me.Kat, sometimes R. and L. feel real, but not usually because my mother would NOT allow me to butt in her life that way. Ever. But the part where they have stuff that is inside between them, is. But honestly, emotionally the real-seeming bond is between L. and Emily...pain, estrangement, disappointment, that's the stuff I know! No, my mom and I are close, just more like Munch and Stanley, though.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
It was On the Razzle, a Tom Stoppard farce, and was funny but not brilliant. Got to see Michael McKean live, though, so that was cool. Michelle Trachtenberg was in it, as an ensemble member, so I saw her, but she had no lines and was one of 20 or so supporting "townsfolk."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh, good Lord, Hec. She sounds crazy enough to be one of ours...
She's also recently heterosexual after a good 20+ years of same sex partners. It's all very odd. She's odd.

Hec, her name's not Anne Heche, is it?
Craxy.
I have a nap dilemma. Lily is nursing to sleep (she really needs a nap, but keeps waking up). She needs this nap.
I'm in the middle of cooking.
Can I manage to set the girl in the Amby without waking the sleeping baby, and go finish my cupcakes? Am I doomed to remain here while things on the counter go untouched?
Tune in in five minutes for another thrilling installment of As the Nap Turns.

Kat--and I don't know what movie yet, but I suspect 40-Year-Old Virgin will be the choice, which I want to see, so, Yay.
Also, someone who works here just dropped by the desk and recommended Hugo's to me and i was able to say in a sophisticated yet friendly way "Oh, I've been there" thanks to YOU!!!!!!

Hurrah! I am *finally* done editing all the (formerly) Gothic Miss Manners columns so that they now say Gothic Charm School or the Lady of the Manners. My webmistress/design-minion said she can work on the final bits of the site during the evenings next week. With any luck, the shiny! new! Gothic Charm School site will be live by September. Now I just have to figure out CafePress and decide what merchandise I want to make available ...
