went out shopping with my mom for my birthday today. For ages, she's been wanting to get me a nice bottle of perfume, something that'll last me for a few years, so I took her out to Dillards. It's funny-- almost everything I disliked greatly; there were no 'maybe's-- and the one I found, I absolutely loved. It's Gucci, and I only feel a little bad ( Read more... )

Shooting with my dad was freaking FANTASTIC. Partly because he was SO excited to be able to have Daddy-daughter quality time doing something he really enjoys.

My manager reached over, pulled off one of the gold ( Read more... )

Been busy, being An Adult around the house. Which meant having been out and about twice already-- once to meet the people I'm house-sitting for in July (they forgot I was coming. LOLZ. <--- not really, but the dog is one of THE most well-behaved dogs I've ever been introduced to. She's an Australian Shepherd who's had a lot of training, so she acts ( Read more... )

2000+ words in on my LBB fic. Probably going to harass email my cheerleader later on how I can possibly make clips of epistolary interesting. Because if readers are like me, they see the writer has broken up the story to insert a letter/message and are like, "I'm totally skipping this ( Read more... )

So I found this website that makes specialized pajamas... and I found they make a shark. A shark jammie. With its own fin. And a hoodie, complete with shark teeth. Freaking awesome, right ( Read more... )
