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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had a glass of wine and a mug of ice cream after work, so yeah.

I got my roomba! It's a little loud.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I just had ice cream. We finally finished TCG's birthday cake from last week.

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

We finally finished TCG's birthday cake from last week.

I gave fully 1/4 of Matilda's cake to her friend Iris for her family. Also offloaded half the leftover pizza with Emmett.

I like a little bit of leftovers after a birthday party, but can't really have cake around all week.

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

Jesse is living the dream. And that's a fine choice, Theo!

I had scrambled eggs for dinner. With ketchup! Delicious.

I have pumpkin ice cream and Swedish ginger thins, and they make excellent tiny sandwiches.

But my big win today is I left the dog home while roomie was in her room, and said she could take him out if he wouldn't calm down....but apparently he called down after just a few minutes and she didn't have to! Yay!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I want an ice cream sandwich so much right now.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

LIES.

(I am biased, because the Madwoman in the attic is a professional baker, so we have fancy baked goods around the house ALL THE TIME.)

I amend. I personally cannot have cake around or I will eat it. There is no willpower in the matter; there is only keeping the temptation elsewhere.

That is a lot of winning, meara!
