Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

(And what's up with her name? I wouldn't be able to say it aloud without adding "de Paul Society")

Her real name is Annie Clark.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Ugh. Emmett did something Shitty at camp today and there will be a Talk with both his mother and me tonight, and a (very unhappy making for him) Consequence.

He's been all giddy with summer happiness the last three weeks but now it will be crushed under the shiny boot of doom.

I don't like to be the boot, but boot I must.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

For my birthday, I got cramps, a hellacious drive to the UPS depot, new shoes and a very busy day.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Thanks to Jilli I find myself lusting after Fluevogs, and shoes purchased on sale. Am now contemplating either these or these.

Oh dear. Only one of those makes a good birthday present.

Oh, and a $550 check from the city. I'm not sure why on the latter.

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

They want you to buy more shoes?

Burell, I love both of those. I know two people who have the flats and love them.

I risked life and back to mow my front lawn this evening. It was getting really long! As I was mowing by the side of the house I managed to accidentally knock the hose on the ground and hit the tap with the handle, which sprayed water all over the electric mower. Quite the smooth move. Luckily, I was planning to wait to finish mowing the back yard on the weekend.
