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

I would like to know what "sort you out" means, specifically

It does involve fornication, but that will never be stated.

I'd get the popcorn now, and get quite a stash.

As an old aromantic.

My mother has given herself a year to sort me and my sister out. One year! Both of us! It'll never happen

...sort you out how? Marriage and babies?

I tried on rings at a store in the airport the other week, because I was curious what size I wore. The 9, 8, and 7 all felt like they fit. Probably an 8.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

When I had my wedding ring sized initially it was done by this little old jeweler dude. Think the key guy in the Matrix. Anyway, he was adamant that he could do this non-standard, but utterly perfect for me, sizing. So it's currently something like 5 3/16ths or something. So I kinda don't want to resize it. But seeing as how I had to have my other ring cut off and resized, I really should. Because then I could wear it.

Because books.

That is kind of cool, Liese. Maybe you could wear it on a pretty chain instead.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, that might be the right way to go. I mean, at one point I was thinking how it would be neat for my putative future offspring to see how tiny my hands were. But, you know, those putative offspring evaporated over the next decade or so.

I mean, the other alternative would be for me to lose the weight back down to where it would fit again. That would be better. But I wouldn't lay odds.

I can't believe that I leave for Wyoming in 24 hours. Here's hoping my sister doesn't take the crazy-town plane by mistake, that it doesn't storm the day of our rafting trip as is expected, and that no bears (brown, lie down--black, fight back, right?) attack us!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Perkins, I suck so hard for not sending your DVDs yet, but I have not forgotten.
