Well, hopefully that email to my players didn't come off as ultra-bitchy. I was kinda going for quasi-bitchy . . . but it's words on a screen, people will read them as angrily or as nicely as the voice inside their head that reads words will let them ( Read more... )

My Gods.

That game was awesome. My players are awesome. My husband is an awesome cook.

I'm in afterglow, of course.

But really, I shouldn't be the least bit surprised. With such an amazing group, what can be possible other than a fabulous day and night?
