Is that ya ass, or ya momma half reindeer?

I can't explain it but damn sure glad you came here! I like them cocky but leggy ones, black whitey Dominicans... Anyone? No? Nelly, Peed Iddy? (A-Listers: I'm bringing Donatella Versace back, because have you SEEN HER CANKLES??) Uh, off topic. Ahem.

Good morning!! Happy Monday! I'm in a TERRIFIC mood, enough to send you sprinklings of joy in case you have a Case of the Mondays. I'm waaaaaaay behind on responding to some awesome feedback I got for my Pickles the Drummer as a teen rent-boy story (dude, that is like, the nicest fb EVER there.) and various other things, but I'm SO HAPPY TODAY!! I can barely sit still. So, why so happy? So filled with joy? WELL LET ME TELL YOU.


My little sister, the wee tiny blonde Swiss Miss in this picture *points down* is GETTING MARRIED.



It's about damn time. Ahahaha. I kid. About the being made an honest woman part. Oh, I'm SO HAPPY for her and her fiancè, Chris. He's terrific and funny and gracious and thinks my sister is the most awesome and beautiful and talented person on earth. (D'awww.) So, I love him for that, alone. Also, he's really fun and sweet to my kids, and I looooooove cooking for him, and he makes my sister happy, and they've been together for almost 5 years now, and I'm just tickled pink. YAY.

Hey, Beth? Now I won't have to think you're a dirty whore for living in sin. AHAHAHA. (My sister is awesome and will think that's funny, so get yer britches out of a wad. This is how we roll in my family.)

YAY NEW BROTHER!!! Brothers don't shake hands! Brothers gotta HUG. (And seriously, Beth. He picked out the most beautiful ring. I LOVE YOU BOTH, EEEEE!)

Oh, and for those wanting a face to go with my awesome friend Alison, here:


(That's her on the right with the beer.) And she finally looks happy like in this picture again! I hadn't realized how long it had been since I'd seen her beam with joy since I started flipping through pictures. :( But she's happy now, so that's good! *hugs her to bits*

Oooh, what else? I had The Sex Talk with my son. (!!!) And he got very very quiet. And asked if he HAD to have babies, because he did NOT want to do that. HAHAHAHA. KEEP THAT THOUGHT, KID. I finished digging out EVERY SINGLE PLANT from the front of my house and re-doing my flower beds. WHEW. That was exhausting, but gratifying. I also put in a new climbing rose, Royal Gold that will go up the front of the house and combine over the bay window with my hybrid New Dawn. (Mine is hot pink, fades to pale.)

(And I found a climbing rose named GOLDEN SHOWERS. That's... an unfortunate name. Or, you know, I'm just... I'm just really broken inside. Probably that last one.)

Oh, and I forgot to wish dancetomato a happy birthday!! DT, if I had it together, I would have written you a story based on THIS IMAGE. Including a bj with teeth raking down his taut belly and weetiny treasure trail and all sorts of wrongness. Wrongness that is RIGHTNESS, am I right? Sure I am. Hahaha! Instead, I will just send you hope for continued health and happiness. *massive, bone creaking squishes*

The wind is picking up outside, so I need to get a move on so I can keep my good mood. I want to READ today. What are you reading? HOW ARE ALL OF YOU? Do tell! *props chin on fists, beaming*

SO CHEERFUL! /climbs on your bandwagon

Many grats to your sister on her engagement, yay!!

The state of me is a sorry one, but I soldier on.

/does the twist in your garden

[josieobsessed.livejournal.com]

That is great news about your sister. My sister recently got married, so I know that it can be an emotional and joy-filled time.

Also, I just wanted to say that I love reading your journal because you never fail to make me laugh. Well, except when you talk about flowers and gardening and stuff, but that's just because weeding ain't my thang.

But otherwise, your LJ is crack to me.

[thepiratequeen.livejournal.com]

Good morning, dahling! Glad you are in a good mood. I am in "Yay, I'm at work on a holiday for the rest of the office mood!". Actually I don't care at all because I am taking the day off tomorrow to have pizza with one of my favorite authors.

I already squeed all over her journal but I'll say it again, Yay Beth! And what cute kids you both were. *pinches cheeks*

I am rereading, A Song of Ice and Fire, the series written by the author I'm seeing tomorrow. But I already feel like I talk about it too much on my LJ so I'll shut up about it here.

*blows you Happy Monday kisses*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I'm so happy about my sis - they're both just great people who compliment each other, YAY!!

I'm sorry my gardening talk is a bummer, hahaha. TOUGH COOKIES. :D I will, however, continue to bring the other flavors of crack, hee!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

*passes out horns and streamers for the Kewl Kids on the bandwagon name JOY*

OH my god, dancing makes things grow BETTER!!! *cranks the music and does the Monkey* HEEE!

[josieobsessed.livejournal.com]

Well, I figure you got to take the good with the bad, like on The Facts of Life when the FABULOUS Blair Warner was forced to live with Jo, Tootie, and Natalie.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

GOOD MORNING, POOR LITTLE SICKY PANTS!! *hugs you to bits* And seriously: was she not the cutest little towhead ever????

Oooh, tell me about this book! I keep seeing it pop up every where. *pats next to me on the sofa*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD DID YOU JUST CALL ME FAT?!?!

(ahahaha.)

[josieobsessed.livejournal.com]

No, of course not! *dies of embarassment* You would be Jo, who is tough and becomes awesome and eventually Blair's BEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WORLD.

Now, I totally want to watch a marathon of The Facts of Life. I wish TV Land would obey me....

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I want to take the good and take the bad, and take them both and then I'd have the Facts of Life myself!

(And the [ahahahah] in parenthesis was to let you know I was JOKING. Teasing. *tickles you*)

[thepiratequeen.livejournal.com]

Awww, thanks! I feel so much better. It's amazing what spending almost three days straight doing nothing but rest will do for you.

As far as the books go. There are 4 written so far out of probably 7. They are listed as fantasy but the fantasy aspects are pretty minor. There are no elves or wizards or talking trees or anything like that. There are dragons. It's more medieval historical fiction that's set in a different universe then ours. There's a cast of about a million people but 10-15 main characters. The chapters are told in rotating POVs. It's a massive, sprawling piece of work that is not even close to being finished but I'm on my forth reread and still finding new characters and events to latch on to. It keeps my mind very busy which makes me happy.

Oh and there's canon incest, m/m slash, f/f slash and every sort of pairing kink you can think of. Which is good b/c the author is very strictly anti-fanfic.

Ooo, congratulations to your sister on her engagement! Those first few weeks of the engagement are always SO MUCH FUN! And yay, wedding planning! ZOMG CAKE TASTING! I think I was more excited over the cake tasting than anything else when Josh and I were engaged. Mmmm, cake....

The Sex Talk? Wow. Did you and Mr. Stoney tag-team him? (I remember The Sex Talks with my parents. Hello, let me die now. We're not big on talking about sex in my family. As in, we don't. Sex talk + my parents = a world of no. And dammnit, now I have "fun" sex talk associated with my parents and THAT IS JUST WRONG.)

[elfgirl.livejournal.com]

Yay! and Congrats for Stoney!Sis. :)

Golden Showers? Maybe the roses grow better when the dogs pee on them? O.o

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

YAY! I don't think they have a date set, or anything, more of an agreed: "let's do this" is what's happening now. *beams*

And Mr. S and Emily were off helping Alison move some big furniture and playing with her kids, so I was ALL ALONE. And he was very interested in everything I said, and was very freaked out. As in, "ewww, girls are gross and I have to WHAH?" My talk was by my dad, and he had CHARTS! And graphs! Hahaha. It was great, actually.

We were pretty comfortable talking about sex, my mother was a bit TOO comfortable talking about it. Ewww, SHUT UP, MOM.

*esplodes all over your lj*
I had not seen the DR bottom. HOW DID I MISS THAT????

a bj with teeth raking down his taut belly and weetiny treasure trail
That phrase alone is worth turning 40 for. Well, almost. DOING that phrase would be worth turning 40 for.

Thank you for the lovely bday squishes and congrats to your sister!

*loves you long time*

[josieobsessed.livejournal.com]

I think it's a knee-jerk reaction....

and YAY! I've been teased by STONEY! It's like being kissed by a rock star! WOOOO!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

YAY! *sends goodness on to her*

And I KNOW!! What a bad, bad name. Although... urine IS almost pure nitrogen. Hmmm. (Hee!)

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

IS THAT PICTURE NOT THE MOST AWESOME THING?!? The GLUTE dents, oh my HEAVENS to Mergatroid.

I hope you had the best weekend EVER!!! *hugs you and Essene to BITS and PIECES and frosts you back together*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I'd consider dragons fantasy over historical, heeeeeeeeee! I keep hearing about these books, so I may need to pick them up! I like the idea of having a huge chunk of reading material out there, plus more to come.

And sweeping epics in the fantasy genre usually work for me, so YAY.

(And I hope you've kicked the germs for good!)

[ladycat777.livejournal.com]

Cheerful is good! I am not, so I will not harsh the buzz, but congrats on stoney!sis' engagement!!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Cheerful is GREAT! I'll pass on the lurve, YAYAYAYAYAY!

[slasheuse.livejournal.com]

STONEY MY COMPUTER JUST LOST THE LAST 1000 WORDS OF AN ESSAY DUE IN AN HOUR

I'LL BE PERSON ALLCAPING AND EATING CHOCOLATE AND TYPING LIKE. THE WIND

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

GO LOOK IN RECENT DOCUMENTS!!!!!!! OR CLICK ON FILE IN WHATEVER PROGRAM YOU WERE WRITING IN!! IT MAY NOT BE LOST, oh my GOD, Sophie!!!

*wrings hands*

[slasheuse.livejournal.com]

IT IS SO GONE. SO. SO. GONE. I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW. I HAVE WRITTEN MOST OF IT BACK IN BUT OH GOD THE FORMATTING AND THE BIBLIOGRAPHY AND I AM SURE IT NOW SOUNDS CRACKED-OUT AS OPPOSED TO STRUCTURED.

[southernbangel.livejournal.com]

"ewww, girls are gross and I have to WHAH?"

That was pretty much my reaction when I had The Talk, only switch out girls for boys. "He puts THAT THERE? FOR REAL? O_o." I also remember an animated video and book that explained the birds and the bees. Which, after hearing that expression, I didn't understand how that related to what my parents told me about because I was neither a bird nor a bee.

Whenever I have kids, I might hire someone to have The Sex Talk with them.
