Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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).

What is even happening?

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, askye!

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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Steph!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

It is passed mid-June and I am just now getting my winter clothes put away. IN TEXAS!

I think I will get them all done today which will be nice to have the giant pile on the fron room couch gone.

Also putting away the flannel sheets. or at least getting them all into one storage bin.
