Ever since my grandfather died in February, questions about death have been a big part of my Bedtime Conversations With Puplet. I'm glad he feels comfortable asking me about it, but wow are they really tricky and uncomfortable to answer. ( More nattering about death under here )

1. First and most significant: there will be another person joining Chez Wolfpup sometime around the end of August/beginning of September because I am pregnant! Yes we are embarking upon this roller coaster one more (AND ONLY ONE MORE) time. And I'm due basically on Puplet's birthday, so I'm hoping that this baby is not as timely as Puplet was.

But does that stop me? Clearly not. Some random parenting stuff first, then a meme, and then my thoughts on the Supernatural finale at the end.

Thank you to the anonymous for the milk & cookies on my LJ. <3

I actually have never seen Community, but drlense did a pimping post for the show that intrigued me, and then I saw good reviews for the most recent episode "Modern Warfare" and figured, well, it's on Hulu, why not?
