A UPS sounds like a good thing to have.
So a black bear wandered through my aunt and uncle's (uncle of the motorcycle fame) property.
He was surprisingly nimble! I always expect more ... lumbering.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I am getting tips from the lesbian ex of my childhood male friend. Not sure if that trick would work across gender. Doesn't mean I shouldn't try, though.
Well no, it might not. Plus Pride is sorta a special circumstance. The time I referred to was at Decadence, which is basically Pride-Esque.

That's fantastic, Maria, and what a sign of respect from your company. That alone ought to impress the hell out of the other company. Fingers crossed.
Music/podcast transfer successful! No playlists, but that's OK, because my playlists were kind of random and crappy. It'll be sort of fun to make new and improved ones.

Maria, I am hoping it all works for you!
Ugh Kat, can I call you and consult with you at some point this weekend? We just got a call from Community Magnet and now I need to make some decisions. I'd love your clear-eyed assessment.
Sure. I don't know that much about Community Magnet, but I can figure it out.
Grace had her first soccer thingy today. There were popsicles, which she liked a lot. She also wanted to drink a huge cup of water, which is good too, but I then had problems feeding her which is bad.
I cannot believe I had to get Grace's nurse to deal with the dying rat. Not in his job description, but also not in mine.

I think Jilli needs to see this.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
(ETA: I mean, I am someone who has had a stranger say "You're cute!" and me respond "So are you!" and get asked "Wanna make out?" and done it...)
That actually happens?? Why doesn't this happen to me?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She lives in a rom com, PC. There's nothing we can do to compare.
I AM SO OLD AND TIRED AND CRANKY, OMG.

Oh Maria, that's good news!
I am checking Olivia's doll into the American Girl Doll Hospital. I have reached the apex of CRAZY MOMHOOD. Someone shoot me.
What does one check a doll into the American Girl Doll Hospital for? I mean, I have a few teddy bear restoration places bookmarked, and eventually Clovis and I will take a trip to one of them, but I can't imagine what you check a doll into a doll hospital for.
Cashmere, I want that doll house. I can't decide which I want more: to own it, or to live in it.

Because books.
There was an awesome doll hospital near where I grew up. It also housed a collection, I guess -- I think we went to see it with Girl Scouts.
But they had all kinds of dolls -- all eras and types of antiques. They did doll restoration, which is something I need to look into again. I have a few Madame Alexanders from childhood that need limbs reattached, and mom has an antique names Hortense who needs her hair redone and her wardrobe restored.
