The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

What's a good wedding gift for my neighbors (who are getting hitched this next week)? He doesn't drink much (half a beer and he's woozie,) so a nice bottle of wine is kinda wasted on them.

A selection of fancy coffees, teas, and chocolates?

Punishingly Intricate

What's a good wedding gift for my neighbors (who are getting hitched this next week)?

Money! or, do they like food? A gift basket of tasty not so perishable treats?

Am so tired. Why am I not in bed??

Vet's offices are dangerous places to work. Hell, apparently walking home from the Y is dangerous for me.

Damnit. I just did a last run of recyclables down to the alley and missed one thing. Doesn't hurt to wait a week, I just like to start afresh every week. But going down into the basement is complicated with Loki AND Pumpkin. How they popped the hook latch, I do not know, but they did it twice. Pumpkin is FAST. And the screen is torn in a catshaped hole in the door and since she shows no fear of any space, I don't feel like chasing her around in the dark.

TJs basket

I love that idea! For most occasions, really. And non occasions.

I have already sent around the Kardashian calculator. I love thinking about it as a unit of time.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I wouldn't mind having more birthstone jewelry. I have one opal pendant necklace that I like and some earrings that I can't wear for more than a few minutes because of a metal allergy.

Dear god. Pumpkin has the most odiferous shits ever. I really hope this clears up, cause it is room clearing.

Gonna need a new book of matches.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Emmett will win 80% of all the important rolls of the dice. I know this is statistically improbable

That's how I won my first (and only) game of Settlers of Catan. It had to be the improbable rolls, because even when I won, I really had no idea WTF I was doing or what the goal of the game really was or why I could get 3 sheep for 1 brick. (I will NEVER understand Carcasonne. It makes me cry. I have no idea what the point is, how to strategize, or how one "wins.")

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I know my birthstone. For the record.
