There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am yelling inside my head. It makes my head hurt.

I think adults are a miracle.

I have pictures of myself as a toddler with pots and pans strewn about the kitchen floor, banging two of them together like cymbals. My mom has been a longtime victim of excruciating migraines.

I'm very thankful that the adoption process is so long and convoluted that pitching me out in favor of a quieter replacement wasn't feasible.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

That and they lost the receipt.

Message for shrift:

I managed to chat with Jilli last night after she got back from the show.

She met some of the band. There's more, but I'll let Jilli tell you the details. You may very well want Jilli to surrender her top layer of skin.

not your mom's socks.

was that her arms and legs were not under her control and made her take things from the refrigerator to dump on the carpet in order make a recipe.

I kind of love this. But Emaryn is not allowed to talk w/Iris. For at least 15 years.

My Chem and scene boys and yay!

This concludes Cass' concert update.

Until I have coffee. More coffee. Coffffffffffffffffffffee.

So, Cass, are you awake before the missus?

Sweetie, you're not supposed to GIVE SHRIFT IDEAS.

We waited at the tour bus (with a mob of other fans) after last night's show. Mikeyway and Frankie came out to sign autographs. Frankie remembered me! He complimented me on my outfit, I said I had been lucky enough to meet him after the last Seattle show, and he said "That's right! I remember you!". And then gave me a hug.

shrift, please don't skin me because I have hugged the Frankie.

I was. Now I am emailing her while our elbows are touching.

Please do not skin Jilli, shrift. She's all pretty now and I don't know if "Cupcake goth" is a look that's going to work with her looking like those Invisible Woman models you put together as a kid.
