oh, damn, Teppy. The universe needs to take a fucking break, already. Or be about to dump showers of beautiful flowers and music all over us.

I fully support the Mom at Disneyland project.

Is Countdown even on tonight? It doesn't show up in my listings.

I'm pretty sure she'd be okay with that. Dad and I need to talk about logistics, but that makes sense.

If not? Big purse, clumsy "slip" and Bob's your uncle! Just saying. (Morbid humor is needed at these times, I've found. Not at all intending to be glib about the situation, as you know.)

When Pete is done with this current deadline, I'm going to have him design my next tattoo. Something based off the faces from the Haunted Mansion wallpaper, my mom's name, and the dates.

Oh, how lovely.

Hey Kat or anyone else -- got a DonorsChoose project I should support? I forgot I have a Groupon that's expiring soon.

A whole retinue of Jilli Mom's friends and family, discreetly "hanging out" by the planters and giggling madly.

Teppy, I'm so sorry. I know it's hard, even when it's time and it's the right thing to do. She knew her humans loved her.

Jilli, I think that's a wonderful idea. StE's ashes have been scattered, and kept, in many of his favorite places and a couple he would have loved if he'd ever got to see them, which is what he wanted, and what made sense to all of us.

If not? Big purse, clumsy "slip" and Bob's your uncle!

Oh, Dad's plan was having his pockets full of the ashes. I think the purse idea is better. Tho' Pete cracked up at Dad's plan and said "So, very Great Escape?"

Just saying. (Morbid humor is needed at these times, I've found. Not at all intending to be glib about the situation, as you know.)

My family runs on morbid and inappropriate humor. You know this.

Oh, I'm so sorry, Teppy.

And, Jilli, that's a lovely idea, and I'm glad she randomly told you so that you now non-randomly know what to do. I think it's nice that you have something concrete to look forward to. I imagine it helps you feel a little less lost.

That's lovely. And knowing how to honor her at this time is especially lovely.

Brenda said it better.

My family runs on morbid and inappropriate humor. You know this.

So when someone at the funeral asks what you're going to do now, you're going to look at them and exclaim, "I'm going to DISNEYLAND!!!"?

Jilli, that sounds like a wonderful way to honor your mother.

{{{Teppy}}} I'm so sorry to hear about Chloe.

Apparently Keith Olbermann just announced that tonight is the last episode of Countdown.

I just posted about this in Bitches after seeing it on my facebook feed. I'm sorry I missed the episode.

I found Liv's 5th birthday gift.

I have a photo shoot at my house tomorrow. All the derby team is coming in with a photographer to get head shots and poses. I need to retouch my purple and find my derby socks that say "Bad Ass" on them.
