I guess elementary school has changed a lot since I went, since just about every girl at our school took a shot at our nuts in 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade and you learned to never stand open stanced to somebody.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

OH! And the jewelry artist finished the pin for my mom. Even more awesome? She had such a hard time figuring out the design, but now that she's got it down, it's become one of her most popular items. She thanked me today for asking her if she could possibly make something with dogwood blossoms for my mom a while back. It's set her down a whole new artistic path, that while it is challenging the hell out of her, she's really getting into.

Picture on fb: [link] and flickr (locked down so mom doesn't see it): [link] Sorry I can't make it more public! It's silver, the lighting is weird.

Ooooh! That's pretty. I like how it is not just a blossom, but has more to it. Very pretty.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
sarameg, that's just gorgeous!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Beautiful!

I'm trying to decide if I should add a facial hair section to provocateuse.
What would I call it?

I think "no nut shots" is a good guideline for friendly roughousing and boxing matches, but once somebody is really attacking you anything's game.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's lovely, Sara!

Her facebook page is [link] I really love the variety of designs. My neighbor has a ton of stuff from her, a lot of it made especially with her in mind. Stephney is a total sweetheart. She was going to let me walk away with it with a promise of a check (I forgot my card and didn't have enough cash) but my other neighbor put it on her card and I paid her back tonight. She's selling them for $60, but wouldn't let me pay that much since I was the impetus for the piece.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That is a really pretty piece, sara. Do you know what about your suggestions is new for her?
I was poking around the website that had the Star Trek engagement ring, and that pin reminds me of some of their other rings. Let's see if my tumblr is tagged usefully....aha. See? Hers are water lilies, but at that size I don't think any florists are getting their knickers in a twist.
It's for the best that I don't offhand (erm) know any of my ring sizes, because the simplicity of these stacking rings really appeals to me.
In general, I need to stop looking at jewellery. Except, say, if it was for my mother, for whom I'm pretty sure we've bought nothing. I will take a moment after posting this to at least find a card for my father.
Watching the last Harry Potter movie out of the corner of my eye. A couple movies back I stopped paying so much attention to the movies (although I'd read all the books), so I don't remember everything that's going on, or who many of these people are. Still, Rather bleak battle scenes there--I have to remind myself that a large portion of the fans aged with the characters, and aren't the 12 year olds I usually visualise them as. Erm, not that there aren't new 12 year olds.
It's kind of relieving to not be all emotional about something clearly sad. I teared up watching Young Justice this morning, and it was a fucking repeat.
