Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Whoa! She was an ewok!
Heh. I was going to post that Darby spent a good hour playing with an ewok this morning.
That's a weird ewok synchronicity. That should never happen.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That is indeed an awesome gift.
I don't have a mani/pedi, but I can at least rectify the lack of wine since I finished grading one paper set. And DH gets total Good Son/Good Husband props for taking the kids to see grandma and make Valentines while I graded.

It was a fantastic gift, especially considering that every weekend since my Mom passed away, I've been over at my parent's house helping clear out stuff. You know my tales of my Storage Room of Doom? Their whole house was/is like that.
So a mani/pedi with massage and wine? BRILLIANT. And soon I go put on fancy clothes, go have dinner, and then do a reading at my favorite restaurant.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I got some stuff done today--went in to the office, watered the plants, did the laundry and walked the dogs. Mostly I checked FB obsessively. My niece is in labor, so I am going to be a GREAT-AUNT shortly. WTF! My SiL had her daughter when she was 22, and her daughter is 20, so it isn't horrifying, but still. Don't great-aunts keep hard candies in a glass dish and smell of White Shoulders perfume?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That sounds perfect, Jilli.
I just painted my nails red, which I guess means I'll wear a black dress tomorrow for V-Day. Red necklace.

Because books.
That's a lovely afternoon, Jilli.

And wear Coty face powder, too.

Hey, I think this is a thing everyone should do, great-aunt or not.

We were watching the scene in Coraline recently where Forcible and Spinks chip out their candy dish and realized that Emmett doesn't have a real life association with hard candy stuck in a candy dish. Unwrapped, loose and dusty.

Grandmas have ribbon candies and grandpas have those chocolate sparkles or whatever that have white sprinkles on them. And honorary grandmas next door have mexican fruit candies. At least in my experience
