I'm glad your dad's okay, Maria.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Sending good thoughts to your father, Maria.

Glad your dad's okay, Maria! Hope he's feeling MUCH better soon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Phew, Maria.
unless you consider places like Wadsworth, Texas; Oswego, N.Y.; or Baxley, Ga., exotic.
And I do! (Never having been to any of those....)

I'm glad your dad is okay, Maria!
Jilli! You will be in Independence? That's Kansas City! What costuming con?
Figments and Filaments. This is the first year for it, but it looks like it will be fun, and they're giving me the full GoH treatment: airfair, hotel, and food!
I FOUND YOUR CORSET. I thought I sent it back to you yonks ago, and I found it in the closet 3 days ago, in the FedEx box that got sent back to me, and my DH just PUT IT IN THE HALL CLOSET and forgot.
Ahahahahah! That explains why I haven't been able to find it in any of the boxes. No worries about it not being back yet, I'm just glad to know my house didn't eat it.
DO you need a ride from the airport or anything?
Nope, but thank you for asking! The con is giving me a minion, and they are collecting me at the airport.

Fancy fancy, Jilli! You are a GoH indeed.
Also, do they realize the implications of giving you your own minion?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow, that's fun, Jilli!
The weather here is nuts -- we've had several bursts of rain, hail, sun so far today. My colleague sort of abandoned me, but I'm sitting in the conference room where other people are having (professionally) interesting conversations, some of which are in English! So I guess I'm learning stuff? This whole trip was ridiculous. But I think still worth it, for the parts that will be later this afternoon and tomorrow.....

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Glad your father's all right, Maria! Whew.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Glad about your Dad, Maria.
Oswego is not exotic- unless you are interested in college students bar-hopping in the snow...

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
It took me a moment to remember that you weren't talking Somerville weather, Jesse. Because we've had a small thunderstorm, but no hail so far. I guess you're not missing much weather-wise!
I realize how blessed I am to have really good, accessible, visible veins. Total luck of the draw, eh?
