Thrive to spite them

I know Michael's has tie dye kits and stuff for "regular" use as well as kits geared towards girls that age.

I can't remember the price difference off the top of my head but I think Tulip makes some kits and there's something called Funky Groovy Tie dye kit.

Michael's also has t shirts on sale right now (super cheap, some are $2.50) and a 50% off coupon regular price item on the website if you print that out.

You can also call ahead to Michael's and see if they have stuff in stock.

Tie dye is fashionable again. Peace signs. Can the Peter Max prints be far behind? I can only hope.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

re: Louis CK concert.

So, I thought the concert was kind of funny, but his last Comedy Central special was much funnier, IMO.

It was worth $5 though, so I am not complaining.

Apparently he spliced material from 2 different concerts into that online special.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I need to get up to speed on Louis CK. What I've seen I've liked, but I need a deep dive immersion course.

Okay, *daily* status report sent out. Oy.

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

Ah, so I think I am mostly ready to get up at 3:45 am and fly to Allentown via Detroit. E's (D's ex) husband just had hernia surgery so she asked if I could drive him to the restaurant after M is done with Hebrew school. OK.

M and I leave PA Thursday at 5ish; that is a lot of time on my own with the ex. I am glad my Xanax script came in the other day. I am not looking forward to this. I am afraid she is going to want to "share feelings" and "do family bonding" and I will have to go to the bathroom and take an emergency Xanax and just chill.

I admit, though, I AM curious to see the dynamic.

Also, if anyone wants to call me or text me tomorrow or Thursday day with "important details regarding the manuscript I'm editing/project I'm working in after the New Year" feel free.

Yes, it's petty. I accept that. I decided not to borrow jewelry or anything but a decent coat and carry-on bag from my sister. I am being myself. Hell, I'm a Virgo; with K laid up, I will probably do the dishes and clean up. But I am not above the teeniest bit of...well, yeah, it's pettiness.

Oh, and actually, I think I DID just get my first solo editing gig from a YA author! She's going to self-pub, and what from I read from her blog, she's good. Will send me sample chapters after the 27th and we'll set up deets from there. FINALLY that $20 I pay Publisher's Marketplace very month pays off. Hopefully.

Ugh. I have to go to bed soon. Kick in, sleep and anto-anxiety meds!

I hate not being able to take any of my pocketknives or bottle/carotid openers on a plane. I feel naked. I AM going to sneak a lighter or two in my carryon; I KNOW I'm going to want a cig during my Detroit layover. E HATES smoking, and of course I won't smoke in her home, dur, but I am for DAMN sure going to need to take a few "walks" while I am there.

ETA: God, what did I post in Press? I can't even remember, that's how UGGGHHH I am tonight. Thanks for catching whatever it was, ita !, and sorry.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sweetheart, I feel certain I can come up with an urgent follow up question to that "business discussion" we had in KC any time you need it.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

ita,

what you may want to do is start with the FX series "Louie." It will probably give you a good idea if you like him or not.

It is DARK comedy. So prepare yourself. The show is a bit uneven I feel, but when it hits, it HITS.

Feel free! Just not after 7 PM EST tomorrow; she has a meeting.

It would be petty, but tres amusant!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Erin, lighters are allowed as a carry-on item.
