not your mom's socks.

all the ~ma and don't-fuck-it-up Amy. More of the first, because you won't need the second at all. Good luck!

Consuela is this the restaurant DH & I went to? With the lovely beers that DH adored? And a drink called (I think?) a Swing? Oh that restaurant is wonderful.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Be constant, Amy. Like you are.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Those are some bummer downsides, Consuela, but the other hand is full of awesomesauce!

Yes! They opened another one in Evanston a few months ago, much larger. So my niece is head hostess there--for the next month. Until she turns 21 and can start serving.

Because books.

Thanks, everyone! I am wildly nervous, because this could be, like, an actual job that I'm good at, for people who are not criminals and scumbags. Trying to breathe.

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

job~ma, Amy!

I have a cold. I never get a cold, and yet I have. Apocalypse? Probably.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My current project is for Doubt which I am totally stoked to teach and my project in the wings is for Lauren Hillenbrand's book Unbroken.

Kat let me know if it would be helpful to have some contact with Laura for Unbroken. I could see if I could facilitate that. I know she's working right now on a YA edition of the book.
