I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

It would be really irresponsible for me to consider attending one of those pricey Creation Cons in the fall just because Kavan Smith will be there when dental bills are beating me into submission (with more to come), right?

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

MiL~ma, Burrell. I hope she gets better quickly.

Love that comforter cover! Dita will adjust, I'm sure.

Oh Burrell! Get well wishes to your MIL and resilience to you!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Mmm. JZ, good on you for telling the teacher; there was a kid harassing M this summer at day camp, and I made it a point to walk up to him one day and say "So. You're ---------. I've heard about you. I'm M's stepmom. (Beat of about 10 second where I gave him the Ninja Gaze, which is a pleasant half smile and dead eyes.) I'll be keeping my eye on you. Make good choices."

Then I kinda of walked off and there wasn't a problem anymore. If M had been older, maybe I wouldn't have done it that way, but I remember how awful kids can be, and M isn't a proactive kid (although I'm trying to change that.) And this kid had half-drowned him in a "dunking game."

Yeah, I remember those, you little punk. Real fun.

Last day in austin, I am ready to be home. I think I will try to get out and possibly do some shopping.

Punishingly Intricate

Early bird passes for Rollercon are $119 until Saturday. I'm debating buying one.

Oh heck yeah! Even as just a derby adjacent person it was a total blast.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Good morning.

The latest MiL news is that she was admitted last night and is being treated for pneumonia. DH stayed with her and slept in a cot. (As I went to bed, I kept recalling the dual images of Kat staying overnight with her daughter and DH staying with his mom.)

DH sounds much calmer now that they are doing something, MiL still sounds weak, and me and the kids are doing just fine. Breakfast soon.

Oh I forgot to add that I love Perkins' new duvet cover and comfy sheets. That's a good Xmas gift.
