Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
That's all wonderful, msbelle.

Welcome home, Mac and msbelle. I am so happy to hear that Mac is settling in so well.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
I, for one, welcome our new mac-ish overlords.
(Which is a certain dialect of fannish for, "Welcome to New York, mac. May you and your mum have many, many fine adventures together.")

What a great string of posts to wake up to. Glad you're both home safe and sound, msbelle. And yay for new adventures - for you both!

yummy in his tummy.
Oh my god, all these firsts are so exciting. Every hour bringing something new for Mac. US supermarket are exciting for me (all these new brands or brands I have heard of but never seen!) so I can imagine they would be totally overload for mac.
Allyson, your editor sounds wonderful. I'm excited to buy the book.
American Airlines sent me a postcard on Friday to let me know they now have direct service to LaGuardia from Halifax. My reaction was "How did they get my address and how did they know I love NY?"

I have so many questions, but I'll sit on my hands as to not drive msbelle bonkers.
I've achieved target and bloodbath. Unfortunately, I still have done basically NO christmas shopping since Thanksgiving. Did I mention I have to ship just about everything? Yeah. So. I forsee internet shopping in my near future. Where is a good place to get the Miss Naughty/Happy hot and cold packs? (I am also lazy.) thwacks head repeatedly.
Whoa! Just hit some combination of keys that made all my windows shrink and rearrange. What do I do? Yell NO! Yeah, that works.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Yay for mac and msbelle being home, for first pizzas and elevators and escalators, and magically expanding vocabularies!
Yay for terrific agents (editors? I forgot) who say completely true and nice things about Allyson's writing in very public and very influential places!
Yay for all good things today.

My *mom* is excited about your book, Allyson. She doesn't get the fandom thing, but she thinks you're funny.
