I saw Runaway Bunny in the bookstore and mentioned it to a friend of mine who had a nephew ... three or so at the time. She checked it out, liked it, and bought it for him. Someone read it to him and he spent the weekend going from grownup to grownup asking to have it read to him again. So ... it's good for the little ones. Once they hit 16 or so, NSM.

These are the very cute flats I'm wearing today: [link]
My old phone took way better pictures than this one does, I have to say. Annoying.

Those are very cute shoes, brenda.

I've always known there was a war in North Hollywood, but I don't want it to end. I'm trying to become a war profiteer.

Oh, only just noticed I posted those in Natter rather than Bitches. It wasn't quite so out of nowhere as it might have seemed. Still, cute shoes liven up any thread.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
My commute is currently about 20 minutes each way.(driving) I know that's going to change soon, as school starts up in a week or so. Between the traffic going in to and out of the high school I drive by every day, and the folks taking their kids to provate school via 270, I'll be lucky if the commute's 30 minutes each way. Unfortunately, driving's cheaper than taking the Metro.(stupid parking fees)

Okay, I knew c'est la vie. But, is today the day to confess I can spell neither horse's ovaries nor toot sweet?
I want those hors-d'oeuvre tout de suite!
I'm finally back from Minnesota. The North Shore is beautiful and luckily the weather cooperated for my brother's wedding (but sadly, not for my time in Minneapolis).
In other news, after my fourth dentist visit in about a week, I can now announce that temporary crowns are of the suck.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Phew, my editor likes my Dan Hicks piece. Or at least the section he's seen. Should be easy to finish it now that I've gotten the intro and the tone down.
I heard from my friend: "Technically, all we know so far is that I have "invasive DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ)". It appears that there is lymphatic and/or vascular invasion. But they can't know anything for certain until I have a lumpectomy. Which will happen as soon as we can get approved. Which will happen in five to ten business days."
So I guess that means it's Stage 2 at the least, once its in the lymph nodes. Shit. Sucks that she has to wait.
