well, now I want a side bun with some flowers in it, dammit.

it sounds like you have had an intense few weeks! I'm so glad the wedding went well! and the lunch thing is AMAZING. AMAZING. "Lunch in a Dangerous Time." "All you need is lunch." "lunch is a many splendored thing." YES.

and now I'm going to buy those romance novels.

The side bun is super easy! (Especially if you get some of those bobby pins that are corkscrew shaped--those are AWESOME, as it turns out.) I bet it would look fabulous on you.

"Lunch in a Dangerous Time." "All you need is lunch." "lunch is a many splendored thing."

Ahahahahahahaha. YESSSSS.

I am so glad you survived the work tsunami! And look! Still vaguely sane out on the other side. You = AWESOME :D :D :D

Yay for the wedding and all it entailed! So, so happy for them. <333 Do R and husband live out there now or do they still have the other place? Also, OF COURSE you were beautiful. That's SOP for you, in case you hadn't noticed.

I favour 'glove' over 'lunch', (ooone glove, you don't need another glove/one glove, one hat, one scaaaaarf/you can wear them all/you can wear them all/ all at once) but either way works! Maybe we should have a glove/lunch-off next time I come to see you (EEEE, next year!)

Totally endorse the fic, btw. You are seizing the day in a Newsies-approved manner! (Open the Word Doc and seize the day/type up some words and don't delay)

ANYWAY. To sum up: ILU and your face is a face that makes my face happy. <333333 (PS I am glad you aten't dead.)

:P :P :P :P <3

Do R and husband live out there now or do they still have the other place?

They still have the other place! The island place is their retirement home, though I guess they are considering moving out there sooner. It is REALLY beautiful, though it would extend their commute considerably.

Maybe we should have a glove/lunch-off next time I come to see you

HEEEEEE. Yes!!! (NEXT YEAR. YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!)

Open the Word Doc and seize the day/type up some words and don't delay

HEEEEEEEE. That is extremely inspirational, thank you! <3333

HI ILU AND YOUR FACE AND LIKEWISE THE FACES OF YOUR ANCESTORS WHO WENT BACK... ANOTHER WAY.

I LOVE those Cecilia Grant books. I haven't read the third one yet, but the first two were fantastic. If you're looking for romance novels in a similar vein (smart, beautifully written), I highly recommend Courtney Milan. Her Turner series (Unveiled, Unclaimed, Unraveled) is TO. DIE. FOR. Until last year or so I was also the read-a-billion-Nora-Roberts books kind of romance reader, but Milan's books made me a diehard fan of the genre.

(I was going to be like "my twitter friend Sonia likes those books too!" but...that is your friend Sonia! So it would be redundant.)

The third one is SO GOOD--it is a pairing type that I have a well-documented weakness for, and it does pay off some stuff from the first two books that I didn't even realize I wanted paid off. Plus it has more well-rounded secondary characters than the first two books did, and I loved that, too.

And thank you for the rec--I have heard of Courtney Milan but have never read any of her stuff. I will definitely check those out!

(And hee, yes! My friend Sonia is also your friend Sonia. I am still so delighted that you two ran across each other!)
