I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

Our wings are not tired.

It's Steph's birthday; a delightful day should be forthcoming!

Thanks, Laura. I didn't sleep very well, but ltc goes back to camp tomorrow and then my nieces are coming over to watch ltc in the afternoon. So, I should get plenty of rest. And we're making enough food today that dinner this week shouldn't be a problem.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Thanks, folks!!! So far, so good. I have iced coffee and it's actually a sunny day, which is amazing after the seemingly endless rain here.

We get to go meet the 5-day-old new great-niece today, and then dinner at my mom's. Also presents from Tim (I assume, since he's currently shuffling around mysteriously in the office).

Sounds like a nice day, Teppy! Is this your first grand-niece/nephew?

We have quite a few now, but the idea of the first one (not the incarnation of it) was a bit of an assault to my vanity, as I felt far too young to be a great-aunt. In my defense, I was still in my 30s.

If I read Bitches correctly, it's also askye's birthday.

Happy Birthday, askye!

This is actually number 8! But only the second girl baby. #1 was a girl, and then a bunch of boys, and now, 9 years later, another girl!

Happy birthday, Tep!

Happy belated birthday, askye!

It's a glorious blue sky day in San Francisco and exactly 60 degrees at the moment.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Happy birthday, Teppy!

Happy birthday, Steph! Happy birthday, askye!

I'm at the airport, waiting on my long delayed flight to O'Hare. Autocorrect just tried to make that "O'hate". If I had a connection, I'd probably have left it that way.
