whew. :)

I’m going to need a Breic icon, I can tell. :) And very probably a Seirid icon, too. And a BOTH of them icon, and…ok, I’ll stop getting carried away. :) This morning I harched off to the cafe, and it was closed! So I harched back home and on the way a lady asked me if she was on the right road to the Guinness factory, and I told her she was but I didn’t know if it was the main entrance, as I’d just moved here from Alaska.…

Aunt Catie was vewy waughing!

I didn’t get a lick of writing done yesterday. Today’s been better, and I hope I’ll write more later, but right now I’m home from the coffee shop and it’s time to update. There was babysitting yesterday, which brought some hysterical highlights into our day. :) At one point, Breic heard, or thought he heard, an airplane, and came running over to tell me “It was an airpwane!” I said, “What’s an airplane?” and he said, “It’s a thing that flies through the sky and wooks wike an airpwane!” I…

My scanner’s in transit!) And the final cover has a shimmering feather falling, the same kind…

dwarven bakers

This morning I went to read my flist, and came across Ursula’s latest sketch. What Ursula could not possibly know is that about a year ago, I logged onto a MUSH and Deborah said, without the slightest warning, “Kit, you are a dwarven baker who is about to be accosted by an elf on the Atkins diet. Go,” and we played out this scene with an increasingly grumpy dwarven baker and a terribly hungry elf who couldn’t go next door to the restaurant because it was owned by the guy…

adventures in cooking

I’ve had Adventures in Cooking tonight. I wanted a bowl of soup for dinner, but was thwarted by being unable to figure out how to turn the stove on. I was further thwarted from my secondary plan of going down to one of the corner cafes and having soup there by sheer laziness. So after a while I was whining online and my friend Geni, who is English, told me how to turn the stove on. (There’s a completely unmarked button that has to be pushed after you turn the…
