Congrats, y'all. My cat broke my bedroom window and I think I woke up a little nuts today, but I wanted to say that much at least. Fay, What Karl Said.(Maybe we'll end up in the same puddle, too. That'd be nice.) I'm also getting published again, but having that goal in mind for two years and having it come true is a bit anti-climactic, even without Worldshifting News being posted around.
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

I had to start giving tough love to my crazy-for-a-loser and calling me in weeping hysterics ALL THE TIME YO friend. Dude. He's a loser. You're a grown up. Do the fucking math.
(sorry, just venting)

Congratulations Hec, JZ and Emmett!
Nora, sometimes the tough love is what friends need. Good for you for doing the brave thing and telling it like it is, not what she wants to hear.

Well, it's more selfish than anything else. But at this point it's either be upfront and realistic (and remember she did the same to me back in the day) or not be her friend anymore because OMG, she is annoying.

Nora, good for you. Seriously, sometimes I just want to shake my clients who have a need to stay tethered to losers and share their gleeful misery. Upfront and realistic is sometimes the greatest gift you can give anyone. Be strong!
erika! Congrats on the publishing, even if it was a long time coming. Published! Again! Good on ya.

After my plea for facepainting ideas on Saturday, I ended up winging it with decent results.
Here are the results, including a gratuitous smooch shot with Fella I included to show off my short hair to David. Plus a coupla shots of Bartleby and Fella. cuz I'm crazy about them both.

Congrats on getting published again, erikaj!
In less exciting, but still happy-making-for-me news, I'm finally getting a new sofa. Or rather, a sofa period, since it isn't replacing an old one. It'll be delivered this Friday. I can finally invite multiple localistas over and have a place for them to sit that isn't the floor.
