So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Can I get some Please Let This Sale Close This Time ~ma for our rental place? We signed a third sale agreement today, and I'm hoping that's the charm.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Guys I need rental-ma for tomorrow. The house we looked at tonight is MORE than perfect, more than we expected to find. We have the deposit; the landlord just needs to check our info on the app tomorrow and if everything is copacetic, we sign a lease tomorrow night.

We were upfront about having bad credit because of divorce/student loans, but D's income is good, he's worked for his job 10 years, has security clearances, and I have no criminal record, and I told him if he needed character references we would be able to provide truly stellar refs.

Please, please, -ma for tomorrow. I will be a nervous wreck until I hear from him that the application went through OK.

Thank you!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Punishingly Intricate

Buffistas!

It hardly seems possible but, in just about a month, I will doing my 8th Ride for the Feast—riding my bike 140 miles from Ocean City back to Baltimore—to raise money for Moveable Feast of Maryland. Moveable Feast is an amazing non-profit organization that provides free home-delivered meals and many, many other services to Marylanders homebound with HIV/AIDS, breast and ovarian cancer, and other life-threatening illnesses.

I’m committed to raising $1,500—what Moveable Feast spends to feed one client for a year. Please, help me reach that goal: Click this link to donate:

Crowdrise--the kind of dickish website Ride for the Feast is using to collect donations--defaults to an "Optional Processing Fee" of 10% of what you're donating. This money goes to Crowdrise and NOT to Moveable Feast. Use the "Edit" link next to "Optional Processing Fee" to change this to 0%. Crowdrise refuses to change this default and Ride for the Feast won't be using them in the future.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Dreamy job offer received, ~ma re-released into the general pool.

I have another article out on the site that gives me a bunch more money if it gets shared on Facebook (through the button in the header of the article itself) 400 times. It's about beer! And food! And Louisiana! So, take a read, and if you like it, please consider sharing on your Facebook page? It would mean the world to me (well, if the world is $200. Which feels like the world when you're a freelance writer.)

All is well that ends in pizza.
