lisah, I had a December wedding. I'd post a pic of the bouquet if only I were the type who was clever enough to scan it. But it was very nice. It was mostly roses plus I had them put some winter berries in it.
Love makes you do the wacky.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My shoes come untied a lot, but my bicycle has an enclosed chain so I don't need to worry about laces getting caught in it. But I can see the appeal of just slipping my shoes on and off.
But somehow I think it wouldn't work as well for boots....

not your mom's socks.
@Tommyrot - loved Windup Girl. Starting some others of his soon.
Also quite in love with Ian MacDonald, who just published Dervish House. Really amazing setting, there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I stabbed myself in the finger with my boxcutter. I'm a little pouty as a result.

Cool!
On my lunch break, I bought his "Pump Six and Other Stories" book, as well as the new Ian M. Banks novel "Surface Detail."

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I've come across two instances today where people were all "wtf is wrong with parents who can't control how much time their kid plays video games or watches tv, just turn it off or take it away." I want to send them mac.

'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"
My week of Things Going Weird now includes the ceiling fan in the living room -- which had the pull chord that turns on the fan part fall off. I partially disassembled it and found that there is a broken plastic & wire thingie that I'm not going to be able to safely try to fix.
It's the cold season of course, so it may seem like there is no need for a ceiling fan until next summer, but actually having it run on colder days is a win -- all the hot air that hangs out on the ceiling gets drawn down.

I did! But my hand was even further away from my body. It's a conundrum.

Ugh msbelle, I hate those kinds of judgey comments.
