Just FYI, there is a Victorian Trading Co. outlet store in KC, and I would be happy to go in and take pics, or look for items people express an interest in.
!!!
Look for an email from me shortly. There are a couple of things I am looking for.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Gotcha!! I'll get there sometime this week.

GISHWHES is over - so here is my take on sucking blood from a doughnut. I tried to channel Jilli as much as I could.

That's a great photo, Suzi!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ha! That picture is awesome.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Five years I've lived here and I've never been to the local Farmer's Market before. My sis and I went this morning. It's lovely. Not too big, there are about five short rows of stalls. I bought raw milk cheese and olive oil soap and brown sugar body scrub, and promised the local honey I would be back for it. Then we sat on a stone wall and watched people walk by with their doggies while we ate homemade biscuits with country ham. It was a good morning. I also learned there's another Farmer's Market in a local park on Wednesday evenings. So that's good; I'll go there too.
Then I went back to my sister's house to help her move a couple pieces of furniture. We spent an hour talking about things she wants to do in the house. I was drenched sweating, and she was all, what's wrong with you? What's wrong, madwoman, is that it's hotter and probably more humid inside your house than outside! Turn on the A/C! It was almost 80 degrees in there. She likes it that way. I keep my house about 68 degrees. No wonder she's always climbing under a quilt when she comes to visit me!

My little brother was apparently delighted to receive his presents piecemeal in the mail: a new surprise every day. In the card I sent him he was informed that I would be borrowing all of it when he had finished with them. The gifts that keep giving! Given what a slow reader he is, I'm sure my mum will borrow them as well.
When I asked him about the one graphic novel I sent him, he said he'd just skimmed so far, but that there were boobs. Oh joy, I bought my little brother soft-core porn, that I will be borrowing later.
Maybe I should read it first...

Great pic, Suzi!

Juliebird, please tell me your mother is complaining to the doctor as well about her sore throat and difficulty swallowing. Dehydration is a complication you don't want, especially after surgery.

Oh my mother has been in contact with the doctors and nurses most profoundly. Having been a nurse, she understands that she is her own best advocate, and once had to berate a doctor to diagnose her with Lyme Disease. She's very health conscious and will make an appointment without prodding. (she's not a hypochondriac, she just has tons of health issues).
I still worry. Especially since the fuckers at the hospital are slow to respond and have constantly inconsistent diagnoses. From the same doctor.
