A wild BPAL Fairy appears...
RL update to come (the weekend was... interesting), but in the meantime, I was reminded last night that I have a stash of BPAL imps that are ready to be passed on to anybody who's interested in them. Whether you're a hard-core BPALite or you're just curious and have always wanted to try some, now's your chance to pounce! I've been the very ( Read more... ) -
Gratitude
I haven't been doing the Gratitude Meme here on LJ, although I try to do that--if in no place other than my own mind--pretty regularly in real life. But today, in particular, I have some lovely things for which I am feeling very grateful, so I might as well share them with you. :-)
Grateful Thing the First: Othello had surgery today to remove a ( Read more... ) -
Speech Meme
Nicked from gina_r_snape, just in case you've ever wondered what my voice sounds like. (Quite unlikely, but hey.) Also, prepare to laugh at my idiocy at the end of the recording, because I couldn't figure out how to save and post. Um. Well, I never claimed to be tech-savvy, did I? *g ( Read more... ) -
Happiness is...
The sun is shining brightly, I have had good music and good laughter and good toast (toast being the lynchpin of a good day, obviously), I am beta-reading a wonderful story and about to leave a glowing review for another, my neighbor from across the street has just given me a big clump of daisies to transplant to my garden (what lovely and generous ( Read more... ) -
Pic Spam the First: Lilypalooza Edition
It's been too long since I posted properly here, something that I plan to rectify now. In fact, I have plans for regular posting, primarily of the peacocky, shiny, and--occasionally--the silly varieties, and I promise to stick to it. I am powerless to help in far too many things, but if I can bring a smile or a laugh or even a good eyeroll to ( Read more... ) -

Come at me, bro (like the Northern bullet)
I am so very behind with these Come at Me, Bro responses, but it's been a bit of a rough week (domestic adventures including but not limited to: internet access dying last weekend, me in my PJs conducting an impromptu funeral for a mouse in my garden at midnight, a wicked thunderstorm on Tuesday that had the power cut out and come back on no fewer ( Read more... ) -
I am answering all the meme questions...
...but in the meantime, this burning question must be asked. *g* I'm going to a very large family party tomorrow, and for many/most of the people there, this is going to be the first time they've seen me since I embarked on Project Peacock. So what shade says "I'm ridiculously happy with myself and the direction of my life" best?
