Ah, my life. I have fabric softener sheets in my purse, but no kleenex.
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I have cousins I've never met, and others I couldn't pick out of a lineup.
I have finally met all my first cousins, but that didn't happen until I was 39. I have a few I couldn't pick from a line-up. But, even so, I'm pretty sure if I contacted any of them requesting help, they would do what they could.
Well, I'm not sure if that includes the one cousin who I used to be closest to who doesn't talk to me anymore. I talked with her once when my mom was in hospice. Never heard from her after mom passed away. Her daughter just had a baby - never heard a word about it from her family, just through the grapevine.
What gets me about her, is that she is married to a pastor and I feel like I've been written off cause I don't go to church. Ummm, that first grandchild of hers was born out of wedlock. Not even sure if the mom knows who the dad is. But she is living with them. Eh, whatever.

I am Facebook friends with some of the cousins on Dad's side. Dad's side also contains the mystery cousin, Shane, whom I have never met.
I am not Facebook friends with my other cousins. I do not think they are on Facebook.
They all range from 10-15 years my senior, so even the awesome ones I don't talk to much.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I could call any relative I know of at 3am and get a bed for the night. But I would never do so. Because we are Yankees, and that's how we roll.
Same here.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm pretty sure neither of my parents would answer the phone or the door at 3:00 am. My sister would, but only because her husband would bitch at her until she did.
In completely other news, I am wearing medium heeled dress shoes today, have a less than reliable knee, and work on the 8th floor. All of the elevators in our building are out of service this morning.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am facebook friends with all my cousins. And they mostly all ROCK. So I'm lucky that way.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I know all of my cousins, but I'm not sure DH knows all of his. He spent so much of his childhood overseas that he missed a lot of that extended family stuff.

“Not dead yet!”
If you were getting a thank you gift for something professional, would you rather get flowers or something else, like chocolate?
Spa certificate, Amy?

Because books.
Spa certificate, Amy?
I don't have the budget for that at the moment, sadly. I'm thinking cupcakes for my editor and flowers for my agent, since I think she might groan at cupcakes.
