There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

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

Those I can see.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I like the smiling one. That's our girl.

Agreed--can't see the earlier links, but can see the last two, and those are great.

I really like this one of the ones that Ginger put up.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

That is a beautiful picture of her. But I wonder how the shading will translate in smaller columns in a newspaper?

Thrive to spite them

I like both pictures I think they convey different things. The first one is kind of secretive smile, the kind I imagine she would make after posting a link and seeing who would be the first to be grossed out. The second is more of a joyful - "I gotcha!" and laughing with us about it.

It's almost like the two pictures tell a story.

I do like the one Sail linked too but it seems a little, pensive.

Whatcha sellin?

Old gaming figs from Hubby's collection. The one that's showing the most interest is a Blood Bowl Dwarf Doomroller. I figured Blood Bowl would pique some interest.

The figs have all sold; the old rulebooks, not so much. But the rules change so much, I wasn't surprised, they're not really inherently collectible unless someone wants the art. If they don't sell, they go in the recycling. As much as it makes me cringe.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I like the smiling picture, even if it did make me weepy again. It's such a beautiful shot of her.

I have to brag on my two-year-old for a minute: We went out for dim sum this morning, and she tried a whole bunch of new things quite happily, and liked most of them, and was perfectly content to chew on curried chicken dumplings while we waited (and waited) for the cart with the sweet buns to come around. I was really proud of her. I was such a picky eater as a kid -- like, I wouldn't eat spaghetti with sauce for years because I once found a mushroom in my pasta -- and we're really trying to instill in Rose a more relaxed and curious attitude towards new food, so it was nice to feel like that's working. A small victory, but I'll take it.
