No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Wow, that was even tl;dr for me on rereading to check for typos.

hip deep in pie

That is very frustrating Liese.

I am just sititng on the couch like a lump, even though my sister has called and told me she's coming for a visit. Tomorrow. Or maybe Saturday. She doesn't know. I've told she's welcome to come anytime, but I need notice so I can tidy. She seems to consider 24 hours enough notice. It's not.

Our wings are not tired.

Liese, that sucks. I know entirely too well how dealing with stupid techie issues can eat up a whole day!

Jesse, what did they name the twins?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Caleb and Joshua. I'm still waiting to hear about the other baby born this week!

I love the name Caleb.

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

Caleb is a great name, even if I associate it with the guy that put Xander's eye out.

When I was at BevMo, I thought I might pick up a bottle of Oban. $70???? Googling, I see it for around $50. I'm replacing a bottle. Did I really have a bottle of $50 whiskey in my house--and FINISH IT? When did I become that girl with those guests? And who were those guests?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Good grief, got my electric bill and it's FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS!!!! That's over four times what I normally pay, and that's their *estimate*. How can they look at my past bills and *guess* at such an increase??!?!!

Sadly, grievously, tragically, not me.

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

That's probably better than a $50 bottle of Tequila.

Maybe.

Ha ha!

Also: Ugh, Liese and Juliebird. At least if your bill is a crazy high estimate, you won't have to pay next month.
