My nephew and family came over and my 7 yo great nephew snatched up a half dozen or so of the books I brought with me. He is on the 2nd Harry Potter and apparently the ones I brought are further along so he has them on hold. (I didn't read them) But he took some Narnias and King Arthur and Captain Underpants, of course!
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Yes, he certainly sounds like a great nephew!

It sounds like Laura is the cool Aunt everyone should have.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Let's see, congrats to Scrappy on the house and Laura's son for getting the job and being a fantastic human. Congrats to Laura for the toilet assembly! I am impressed.
sj, I hope sj gets over whatever she has going on and you get to have an easy day tomorrow.
Soooo, I met a guy off Tinder and he's kind of adorbs. I'm in the "he has nice hands" phase (he does have nice hands, too). We've been on two dates and unlike the last Mr. Grabby-hands McObsessive, he hasn't even tried to kiss me yet. He has told me that I'm super smart and beautiful. Funny thing is that looking at his very sparse profile, even for Tinder, I couldn't figure out why I swiped right… and then I remembered that the other week my friend and a bartender and I had traded phones and swiped for each other. So I may owe some bartender I had just met ten minutes before a debt of thanks. He's kind of shy, I think, but we've already had some great talks about things. And he has a dry sense of humor. Anyway, who knows, but it's nice to be excited about someone.

Actually ltc was lovely today. All cuddly and listening. We read a lot. And when bath time came around she gave her baby a bath and then sat in the tub continuing to wash her baby up while we washed her up. It was awesome! I feel like I actually did something right as a parent buying her that bath doll and continuing to talk about bath time and not backing down on her taking a bath. Even if it took several weeks for a pay off.

Herding cats for fun
Awwwwwww...adorable tub time. Clearly the result of good and thoughtful parenting!
All ready to roll out of bed at 3:45 am. ME is all set, the windshield is freshly cleaned, my bag is sitting by the door.
Please send her some ~ma. A little extra, it couldn't hurt.

smonster, sounds like fun getting to know this guy.
That is definitely a parenting win, sj.

Yay LtC! Yay bartender!
I had friends over for dinner and it was so nice, even if some of the stuff we talked about (work, personal life, etc) is so hard. My one friend had to call the cops on her son Saturday after he punched her in the face. But I was so glad she was able to come over and tell us and hang out and give her a back rub and stuff.
