Happy birthday, Amy!

I've been hit and run posting today, so I may have forgotten that.

I keep looking at my taxes and boggling. This puppy is going in the mail tomorrow.

Eating out on the deck, in the dusk. Kiddie lacrosse took over the field this evening. They were all so cute.

Sorry to disagree, but this actually IS part of their agenda. If I wasn't so lazy I'd rustle up a cite or two, but it has been stated by state-level Republican politicians that women shouldn't be burdened by the right to determine their own reproductive destiny, that men are better qualified to make those decisions for them.

Maybe so, scary to think people actually think that. Well, there are people who think almost anything, but I mean people with actual power. Perhaps, I'm trying too hard to be moderate.

“Not dead yet!”

Because it isn't a clone of anything already published and at least moderately successful. Publishers are scaredy cats.

They really are, in so many ways. Allyson, I'm sorry Sam didn't sell for you with any of the publishers, but as Hec said, those are some top notch rejections in a sucktastic market. It shows that the editors in question read the MS rather than just say, "Oh lordy, more talking animals, PASS."

There are so many things that I wish I could say right now, to try to make you feel better, but I'm afraid they would come across as patronizing and piss you off when that's the last thing I want to do. So I'ma just shut up and hand over the chocolate.

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

Jilli, want to do a Masters?

My violist neighbor is practicing with her windows open. Lovely to sit and listen.

"Tiguan" sounds a lot like "tickworm" when you aren't quite paying attention to the ad.

Jilli, want to do a Masters?

YES. That would be a lot of fun. I wish I could go to that conference.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So cute, kids of Amy and Gud!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Crap, crap, crap. A crown fell out while I was eating dinner. Don't wanna find a dentist tomorrow. Just the idea has me feeling like crap. I am way too dentist-phobic.

Suzi, you know to go buy some denture glue, right? Besides it feeling icky, you don't want stuff shifting. And may you find a dentist you like the way I like mine. They've basically gotten me over my dentist appt aversion. OK, that might be the frequency of appts the past 3 years, but... it worked? And had me at 3-4 cleanings a year, which might go back down since the last couple she's made noises about it seems like I'm getting less buildup in the past year. (Probably helps I now have 4 crowns...)
