Timelies all!
Happy Mothers' Day to all maternal folk. We're taking Gary's mom out to dinner. (I sent my mom a nice flower arrangement)
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

I survived a girl scout campout with 7 2nd graders. And no coffee until just now. My husband is making me bacon, but I had to ASK.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My friend's artist husband did a cartoon drawing of her and the cat, and it's really an incredible likeness of her -- really flattering, while still looking just like her. I don't know how to say that to them without being insulting, so I'm saying it to you people.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Ken Burns is doing a film on Prohibition -looks like fun.
Also, the Minnesota Rep who insulted Neil Gaiman and accused him of stealing from the electorate was forced to apologize by his mother.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Eeps Scrappy! I'm so glad J's DVT was caught and treated but YEEPS! Sending good vibes to your household.
Thanks everyone for your warm thoughts and warm words. It means so much.
And I posted this in Bitches too, but I'll say it here as well: Happy mother's day everybody! I know the day is set aside for "mothers" but I always think it should be set aside to honor "mothering"--all the people who care for others, be it their children, their pets, other people's children and pets, friends and family, the ill and the convalescent.

Scrappy, yikes! So glad it was found!
D and I text mostly "Pls pick up litter" messages, but when he or I are away, it's all very much, "I miss you, the house feels weird without you. Love you."
Our endearments are pretty standard: I call him honey, baby or sweetie, and he calls me darlin'.
I WILL cop to have called him "my darling geekboy" in conversations with girlfriends.

Our text messages are a mix of practical, silly flirty stuff, pictures of food and the cat.
Kenny must be agenius, he is too young to graduate
