You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

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

For me, but not *with* me, right?

I'm pretty sure her Nicolas Cage impression would be at you.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Not buying that skirt would bee a mistake, and would sting.

Our wings are not tired

Not buying that skirt would bee a mistake, and would sting.

So says the hive mind.

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

Happy Birthday, Casper!

Sophia, I'm sorry that was all such a snafu, but I'm glad it's resolved now, and there's work on making it right (and sense-making!) for next year.

Pix, I had it done. For me, at least, the trepidation and apprehension was the worst, and it's hard not to be anxious. But the procedure itself isn't that bad, and I recovered pretty quickly. Good thoughts to you.

I will attest to the fact that Jellycat stuffies are very very soft. Yes.

I composed this last night and forgot to hit post. So, here, have a post, and I'll go back and read todays news.

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

Yes to the skirt

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I would say that it would be a shame to not have that skirt.

I have to be at work a half hour early today. WHY???? (I mean, I agreed to it and all.. it just seems to my morning brain that it was an unwise decision.)

Ha, ha, ha, I started the day with a text from the dentist's office reminding me about a visit this morning that I had 100% forgotten about. Yes it's on my calendar. At least it's at 10:20, so I will actually make it. Still, that's some epic Mondaying, that is.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Health~ma, Pix.

Askye, that is some nonsense.

Steph, that skirt is delightful!

I have a short week as I'm taking some vacation time. I'll be visiting family in MI over Labor Day weekend for the first time in over a year and a half. There's a shiny new great-nephew for me to make funny faces at. I'm so looking forward to seeing everyone!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Agreeing that the bee skirt is delightful - I was, myself, tempted ... and I haven't worn a skirt or dress in ... three years? four?

Also, it seems that the Build A Bear people are doing a Lord of the Rings series - Frodo, Gandalf and Gollum. At least in the U.K. - I saw an article on it in the Manchester online news. Outfits (for Frodo and Gandalf) are extra.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Also, if you wear it around Jessica she'll reenact the Wicker Man scene with Nicholas Cage for you.

Reenact in the sense of saying "Not the bees, not the bees!" and waving my arms around dramatically. I can't honestly promise a genuine Nic Cage impression.
