Hey, CV, how's your belly wound? All healed proper, yes?

Well, if by proper you mean I still have a second belly button, then yes. No open wounds at least! But my days of belly baring are over. Luckily, they were long over anyway. My belly tattoo is frightening to behold!

Thanks for all the reassurance that my daughter is indeed adorable. I obviously know that, but I never tire of hearing it. Whenever she does something super cool, I am as proud as if I had made her. Oh, wait...

Someone come visit me, I'm lonely today!

I suppose I could hop on the Eurostar... you're in Belgium, right? Day trip!

I could not get the foot nomming baby to play! I am sad!

Thank you for the tomato advice- I just hope these tomatos ripen before theatre starts or I will end up letting them rot.

Last night was actually pretty cool here. My cat spent a lot of time laying on my chest nd kneading while I was "sleeping". And I was having dreams about getting accidentally fired from the grocery store where I worked as a teenager, while somehow getting stuck there investigating while trying to make it to the theatre on time. And my mother worked there.

You know, the pictures of Bill Clinton at Chelsea's wedding make him look old and frail. He looked better with a bit more weight on him.

Just watched the FNL finale. Characters who made me cry: Billy, Tim (twice), Vince, Tami, Landry, Eric, Matt and Julie. And the song at the end, good lord. It did feel odd that we didn't see Vince, maybe with Jess, at the end. But other than that, I loved it, and I would be impatient for the next season were it not the last one.

I fell so far behind in FNL that I decided to just rewatch the whole thing when it come out on the 17th. I can tell I need to just set aside a weekend to watch and cry.

CV your daughter is beautiful!

I should be making breakfast for my kids right now, but instead I am drinking coffee and listening to Dead Can Dance and finding it very hard to motivate myself to do anything but that.

I get to see my bestest friend in HS today! Yay! She always makes me happy.

Owen just composed a letter:

Dear Disney Channel and Tim Allen Producer,

Plese return if you can then name it Romanc with Owen.

Then come to my house on Sept 1st.

Awww, Owen. I'm sure Selena will wait for you to grow up.

Lucky Burrell to get to have face time with her bestie.

Skipping so much (while living in a moving-out-of-an-apartment with no-apartment-to-move-into because we-had-a-contract-blown-up-in-our-faces *twice* sort of hell dimension, with no internet, obviously, but I so totally digress) because on top of all the mess, I've missed birthday wishes for several Buffistas: Fred Pete (on the 5th of August) and scrappy (on the 6th), and it's Katerina Bee's today, and will be Aims' tomorrow (the 9th), and I have no idea when I may even have another glimpse at my beloved not-so-virtual world, so I'll send early wishes to Franny already, even though her birthday us not unti the 24th.

Belated - though not less warm, by that - wishes to all!

OK, deep breath. It's all going to be just an adventure to laugh at in later times, right?
