When I was around 13 I went to Mackinac Island with my parents for a Delta Kappa Gamma convention (teachers' honorary society--Mom was president of the state chapter for a while). We stayed at the Grand Hotel. It was lovely.
None of it means a damn thing.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I never saw that one, but I've been to Mackinaw Island many, many times. Love the place beyond belief. I've got a cousin-in-law that was born on the island.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Laga, he wasn't mucking stalls, he was dealing with the food waste from the hotel. Can't remember exactly what, but there were seagulls. Mostly I was all "horses!" and "no cars!"

I was about 8 years old when we had a family vacay in Michigan and Wisconsin, including taking the ferry over to Mackinaw Island for the day (horses! fudge! bikes! ferry!), touring the locks at Sault Sainte Marie, and spending a few days at Jellystone Park on the way home. Very fun!

hee. Fug girls just asked if they could have HBC-from-the-oscars as their crazy rich aunt. I kind of concur.

My roommate is employed!That is great news! Give him a big congrats from me!
As sad as it would be to see you leave So-Cal, you should take the gig with the horses. You loved that job in Chicago. And it will be a nice change of pace. Doooo eeeeeet!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm hoping I can doo eet and get back in time for Halloween Horror Nights. But I'm thinking I should leave myself open. This could be great opportunity to find a new direction for my life.

I just received a copy of "Talk to Me Like I'm Someone You Love", so this weekend, I'm planning on doing some reading and prep for a client whose marriage is in serious jeopardy.
I made the mistake of mentioning John Gottman's ability to predict marriage failure based on the presence of contempt in the relationship. The fellow ran with that and now, I'm trying to show him how he can replace his contemptuous language (learned from his parents) with more honest, productive language.
The book is supposed to be 'flashcards' but it super flimsy. Not sure how to use it effectively. I'm tempted to make actual flashcards. That seems like way too much effort though.
Also? A trip to TJs.
Whee! Mine is an exciting life.

Is it designed to come apart? Maybe buy some plastic sleeves.
