Yesterday I took Two on his first "real" college visit, to the Pratt Institute design school in Brooklyn. (Two had a college tour of a local university that was the namesake of his academic team in 6th grade, which he enjoyed, but he didn't have any particular hankering to go there; he's also set foot on a small portion of UC Berkeley and Harvard ( Read more... )

( Yet another random 100-question meme )

Last week: library, subbing (Thurs/Fri), travel meeting (more on that in a min), oversleeping (yikes). Long weekend was spent on many errands, some baking, and, honestly, I don't even know what else. Will had to work - it was technically his first week of summer schedule (Fridays off) but they were doing a big system upgrade of some sort, so he ( Read more... )

So, here it is, again, approaching bedtime, but I'm GOING to post, darnit. Also, there's a 99% chance that tomorrow will be a snow day, in ( Read more... )

1) I posted my Steve/Bucky fic: Rockaway Beach. The story behind why Steve and Bucky "had to ride back from Rockaway Beach in the back of that freezer truck." Very VERY VERY mild spoilers for Civil War.

2) Which Disney Quote Are You, Based on Your Zodiac Sign? ( My results )

This whole #GiveCaptainAmericaABoyfriend thing is cracking me up.

Also amusing: Generic to-do list for moms. Yep, that would work for me pretty damn well ( Read more... )

So. Life.
