On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

But it might raise suspicion that you'd been having an affair with Robert Jordan.

Well, given that one of my literary dreams is to find a character or characters to be my Sharpe or Aubrey/Maturin so I can settle in and write about them for 20 books or so, I think that's all me...

Instead she informed me first thing that she likes pants now and was more than happy to wear them.

Annabel has decided that dresses aren't the ultimate evil, but only if they don't have flowers on them and only to wear to church. She likes purses, though. She loves wearing her Mariners jacket, which is an exact miniature of the current team jackets, while carrying the white lace purse we got to go with her Easter dress.

I read some Robert Jordon, but there came a point that I just stopped caring how the story would turn out. Little did I suspect that the story would never turn out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

ION, I only just decided to keep my hair a little longer than it's been in recent years, and I see that picture of Katie Holme's new haircut and suddenly think that's what I want. I don't really want a "heavy fringe," right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No, it will. His son will wrap it up.

Ann, that's a ferret.

It isn't just large animals. Teddy really got a claw into someone during his bloodwork appointment last night. Fortunately or otherwise, it was me. Fortunately (at least in a could-be-worse way) he got my right thumb, and I'm left-handed.

Really? I had no idea. He lost me though, just strung things out too long and as the number of characters expanded it seemed like they were all the same. Especially the women, to the point I started wonder if the dude had some issues.

I need to get out of my office and actually take a lunch break, or I am going to get in the elevator and choke to death a variety of coworkers on several different floors.

Do they usually take lunch at their desks? Because you could combine the options for a win-win, plus free lunch(es).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Also, I've heard human flesh tastes like chicken....

I am going to get in the elevator and choke to death a variety of coworkers on several different floors.

That could be a great horror movie. "The Elevator Dings for Thee". It can be a great trailer counting floors numbers and showing carnage in the elevator lobbies with elevator music in the background. Then have the camera zooms in on the closed elevators doors with the sound of a heartbeat in the background. Finally have the light blink on and the ding sound right as the trailer fades out and ends.
