Man, this week's Criminal Minds was rough.
Angel: Will you just shut up for once?! Illyria: What? Angel: My God, the speechifying. Has it ever occurred to you that now might not be the best time for when-we-were-muck stories?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Chop the woody ends off (about 1"), P-C, boil water with a little salt in it, pop the spears in for 4 minutes, and serve with a little melted butter with lemon and salt.
That's how I roll, anyway.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ooh, I can do that. I have lemon juice, at least. Which sort of counts.

Or steam them. Lotta people like roasting, but I like the steam. Plain, with salt.

“Not dead yet!”
People! You need to help me decide!
The new site for RWA National was announced tonight: The Swan and Dolphin at Walt Disney Resorts.
::cue hysterical laughter::
Right, I move across the country and the conference finally winds up in Florida. In July.
Anyhow... I can go to National, as planned, and since it's now in Florida going early to Miami and leaving the kids with my mother. However, I'm not presenting a workshop, I'm not presenting at the awards, the book's not going to be out yet and I was really only going to get face time and network and talk up the new book. The other glitch in this is that if I take the kids, it's problematic, since they start camp on Monday, August 2nd, meaning I'd have to leave Nationals early in order to drive back to Miami and fly back to Seattle.
Or...
The Society for Children's Book Writers and Illustrators is also having their conference at roughly the same time.
In LA. The kids can stay at home, I don't have to be away for as long, and it's a much shorter trip within the same time zone, even.
Plus, it's children's publishing professionals, so if I'm going to network and talk the book up anyway, maybe it makes more sense to do it there? (Also, meet some local booksellers, like from Vroman's, etc?)
Bonus, F2F time with LAistas.
LA makes more sense, doesn't it?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
How did I not realize that that was a picture of brenda's sister? I am dim. And possibly blinded by the Glory of Sloth. It's a very cute picture.

Or I can just sauté it. That could be fun.

Rough how? Pig rough?
More emotionally rough.

I feel like a bad daughter. I only send my mother a card.
