Yeah. I was always making up stuff that made my parents laugh and I wasn't sure why, because I thought I was calling it as I saw it, you know... Not quite as active as your girl of course. ETA: Trudy agrees with Hottie Editor. That started because he's a cyclist and I told him his bike was lucky. He knows I'm as pure as the driven slush. Pre-Bitch, I'd have never said that.

Deena, that's some serious falling to the Reds there.

It's much prettier with Allyson.

Sadly, I couldn't get a good picture of the necklace for -t. It's a fairly simple sterling festoon necklace with black and white pearls and knotwork spacers, and I forgot how hard it is to photograph pearls.

Without even knowing they were her favs, I was going to go with amethyst at first, but my on-hand stock displeased me for necklace making. I'll check my finding stock and see if I can make her some earrings with them.

Perkins, the package to -t will have an envelope for you in it, too.

Hah! Trudy reminds me of some of my antics at about that age.

That sounds lovely, Plei. I'm sure she'll be thrilled.

If anyone wants the full -t database, let me know. I'm pretty sure I put in the highlights. There was nothing in there about Henry except that she'd married him.

perfectly-normal-nothing-to-see~ma for the dread beast.

I think Allyson brings a bit of tone to the establishment, probably that soon-to-be published author vibe.

Deena, could you send it to me at my gmail account? mohmlet?

Done.

Me too, Deena? Me too!!!!!!!!!!

It sounds gorgeous, Plei.

I don't wanna... but I'm heading over to the gym anyway. I may only stay long enough to change into my workout clothes and then wander around for a while, but I'm still going. You never know, I might actually find some motivation.

Sara is in the kitchen pleading for "cake in a bowwwwl". She is so my kid, it's not even funny.

Plei, the necklace sounds beautiful.

Poor Deena! That's not a nice thing to happen during a nap.

I know I do it a lot, but can I bitch please? (Hurricane-related, but not concerning media reports at all)

Edit: Aaand just got called downstairs by the source of my frustration. I'll be back.

I can only hope. So much writing to do this weekend. Ima stock up on groceries (hooray lemonade!) and get on it.

Embarassingly, I had to ask my dad to send a bit of cash to me for groceries and gas for the month, because I had a balloon payment on my car insurance and car registration renewal that wiped me out.

"Hi, Dad. This is your 32 year old daughter. Yeah, the responsible kid. Um, Dad? I have a problem. I have no savings, and I've apparently spent money on useless shit and paid no attention to my finances for several months. Can you send me some money for gas and groceries?"

Humiliating, I tells ya. I'm a jackass and a half this month. Complete irresponsibility on my part. I hope this book pays a little bit of money so I can pay him back, or I'll feel like a total loser.
