Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

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

-t, what is this? I saw Hil mention it in conjunction with Purim the other day.

Hamentaschen are Purim cookies. Make a fairly basic cookie dough, roll out, cut out circles, put a spoonful of jam or preserves or something (poppy seed paste is actually traditional, but I prefer apricots or prunes), and fold up the sides to make a triangle, with a bit of the filling showing in the middle. Bake. Eat. Yum.

If he'd caught you a third time, he would have gotten to keep you, vw.

Damn. I'm never gonna get this stuff figured out. There's so many rules!

I'm getting the pig!

Happy Birthday, Cindy!

It sounds like you had a lovely (and well deserved) day. Books and jammies and chocolate and cards and cake AND mix cds of your favorite happy songs? Oh, my!

I just started reading the first Dresden book, and so far I'm enjoying it. Needless to say, I'm very jealous of the TBR pile you've got going.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

NICOLE!

I need to send you some books.

What is even happening?

Thanks, Hil. I think I have had the poppy side type. There are few cookies I've missed -- none intentionally.

My new year's resolution (which makes so much more sense to start on your birthday than on January 1, unless your birthday is on or right around January 1, in which case you're screwed) is to eat more like a healthy, adult human. I'm not even going for weight loss. I just think I might put some more food in my food.

Damn. I'm never gonna get this stuff figured out. There's so many rules!
Whenever someone brings up rules (or The Rules or The Rules Girls), I always think the Bitches should write a book.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

What Hil said. The bakery Igot mone at had 5 flavors, so I had to get them all. Because it would be irresponsible not to know which flavors were best. And 2 of the poppy so we'd have an even number to share. So far, I like the cherry the best.

Oh, and literally, Hamen's ears, or hats, depending on who you ask. May his name be blotted out.

That's a nice coincidence that your reading was so timely, Cindy. I always like it when that happens.

I think that's a good plan.

Damn. I took my meds an hour ago. I'm not even starting to get sleepy. And I have to be up around 5 a.m. This might be fun.

Maybe I can catch up to you. I'm very excited. Usually, when Scott asks me what I'd like for my birthday, I can't come up with anything, but this time, I did suggest the books. I never like to be too specific, because then I won't be surprised.

Yes. It's your duty, particularly as a newish convert. I mean, you have a lifetime of learning to catch up on.

Oh, and literally, Hamen's ears

Oh, I knew that, once upon a time. I like the ears version much better. And yes, ptui, we shall speak of him no more.

Somebody needs to rein me in. I'm listening to my happy music and getting all sorts of plot bunnies for The Office schmoop fic. Probably song schmoop fic. Bad fic at its baddest.

Happy Birthday, Cindy! Little did your mother know, 40 years ago, that her daughter was born to explicate Buffy for our entertainment and edification.

I was supposed to get some work done this weekend. Oops.
