I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

“Not dead yet!”

I also have a bad habit of being seduced by things that are pretty in theory, but perhaps not on me.

Like this: [link]

Beautiful colors and it's chiffon, which is perfect garden party material, but I'm afraid the print would overwhelm me.

Oh, msbelle. What everyone else said and I wish there was something I could do for you.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

ZK, that paisley scarf dress will be cleavagalicious! Use it wisely!

Yeah, I have to get the right undergarment for that one. And possibly a new body. It's gorgeous.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

afraid the print would overwhelm me.

No such thing--with your dark hair and a lick of makeup you'd be fabulous.

Of course the purple one with the scarf could be formal very easily, but with another scarf or stole, something pastel perhaps, with light-colored flats and a wide-brimmed picture hat? Garden Party perfect.

I have that problem with shirtdresses. I love them...I love that style. But they do not look good on me at all.

Because books.

Barb, I think that dress would be PERFECT on you.

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

Barb, I think I like this one for the event so far the most.

It's gorgeous.

It is. I've sworn off buying dresses ahead of the occasion, and I'm certainly avoiding the occasions, or that would totally be on the list.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Cass, not to get all up in her business, but she did try that. And leave it out there as a consequence of not handling the compromise.

I'd forgotten that it'd been taken away. And I am *really* aware that it's not my business, just it's hard to see someone having such struggles and not wishing that the problems could be solved. So not my business though.

I think we are heading there or may have gotten there today. His therapist wants it gone, but does not think he can handle it right now and thinks me taking it away will cause too much of break between the two of us.

Oh, ouch. It's hard to realize that it's likely going there but will cause harm to do it right now. I honestly will not feel bad should it accidentally fall and crack the screen though. I am really sorry you are facing these struggles. Parenting is hard regardless but having to build trust with Mac is a huge task, I understand. I wish you more good days and fewer, easier bad ones.

And with that, I am off to explain Peter Pan to a three-year-old for the night. Then the adults are watching Harry Potter. I don't know...
