Erin, it's pretty church-specific, and the betas I'm waiting on are people who know church doctrine and the history of our parish and diocese; Hec's already given it a secular beta and proclaimed it cogent and affecting, so now I'm stuck waiting on the churchy betas before I send it out to, er, a shitload of national publications.

Of course, if you want to give it another secular beta, I'm happy to send it along because I'm just that whorish!

We're MUCH cooler than we were yesterday, albeit muggy as all hell, what with the projected thunderstorms coming through.

Go on, bebe! I'm not much on current church doc, but I'd like to read it anyway, and will point out anything I see from a secular/editory perspective. With your mad word skillz, I'm sure it's wonderful.

Perhaps my medieval church knowledge can come in handy! (Probably not...::sniff::)

Wow, the Native American stereotypes in Annie Get Your Gun are really horrible.

Men's singles are finished, right? It looked like doubles were on, so I stopped taping.

now I'm stuck waiting on the churchy betas before I send it out to, er, a shitload of national publications.

Oooh. JZ, tell me you'll send it to NCR, right? I bet they'd run it. NCR is my source for church news (although I don't subscribe to the paper version anymore, just the blog).

I got up at 7:30 and took the dog running in the woods, and it was hot and sticky and it's a Spare the Air day, so we did the short loop. And I cooked some rice because TNG is having the trots for some reason.

Now I'm in a sundress and considering doing laundry and cleaning the kitchen. After I finish my tea. And maybe a movie this afternoon, if it gets really gross here.

Men's singles are done, Dana.

Thanks, Amy.

Awww, and Matilda's now lobbying to go back to "the big church" again; when I told her it made me too sad, she said, "I'll be there with you, silly! And if you get scared, I'll hold your hand."

Aww!

I am feeling ridiculously proud of myself for having looked at my grocery store receipt and making them give me $5 the flyer promised, but the computer didn't process. I kind of felt like a crazy person standing there, but hey -- $5!

we did all the shopping, and I lived through yesterday's bike-decorating + pool neighborhood drama, so I can just faff around on the interwebs, right?

Kat, you are welcome to come to our house and cook, if single-coast cooking isn't productive enough for you. HKF can keep you company. She'll be up.
