1992 is seven years after I graduated high school, and a year after my firstborn's birth.
I need a drink.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

I have one for you, Amy. Come over and enjoy beer or a pimms cup! I am old.

I would love to. Sounds much, much better than unpacking boxes, too.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I got my errands run while it was still under 90 out, so I am free to stay and melt in the privacy of my own home/yard the rest of the day. I really miss being in the mountains and having a creek full of ice melt to wade in right now.
-t is me, though I suspect my day may involve less yard and more napping, since I also did the weeding and bird feeder refilling before it got too hot.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
amy did you move? did I miss that?
I love my dad, I really do. He's 70 and he mows my lawn for me. but he never tells me when he is going to come over and mow. I just ran out in the 97 heat to oick up dog poop and dog toys and fallen tree branches. He also considers my lawn browning as a crime against humanity. I sometimes (ok always) forget to take the sprinklers off the "rain" setting for a few weeks after a rain storm. also, I HAVE TORN AWAY PARTS OF MY INTERIOR WALLS BECAUSE OF TERMITE DAMAGE FROM 2 YEARS AGO...a dying lawn is not my biggest concern.

Amy, did your new apartment come with microwave?

Just heard my neighbor casually tell his 7 yo foster kid "don't be an arsehole or you'll spend the day in the house".
My first reaction was shock, my second was "be assholes, kiddies, so you have to stop playing underneath my window!".

We did move! And no, java, since this is a different apartment than the original one, we are microwaveless. But we also have zero counter and cabinet space, so we're looking at a really small one.

Yikes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My first errand turned out to be over extending. So I'm going to try zoning out for a while.
Watching Spider-Man it occurs to me that while I have nothing against the casting of Garfield, I would die a thousand little deaths at seeing Dylan O'Brien in the role.

Laura, you can NOT have a 21 year old
Part of the thing with being in this community for a dozen years or so is the whole watching each other's kids grow, marriages, career changes, and so forth. It's nice.
I promised Brendon a trip to New Orleans to celebrate his 21st. He is a big jazz fan and as a responsible mom I had to let him know that the jazz is best appreciated with cocktail in hand in a proper jazz club. So I expect that will happen this fall.
