pictures :)

This may be my favorite picture of me, ever: More pictures of me sighting URBAN SHAMAN at B&N here. When we went in, Ted was in front of me, and stopped dead and gasped and whipped around with Big Eyes, and then wouldn’t let me look at the new paperbacks table behind him. *laugh* The rest was sheer dancing glee. :) And they REARRANGED Barnes & Noble while we were on vacation, so we couldn’t FIND the SF/F section!

Home again, home again, jiggity jig! Our vacation was *lots* of fun and I’ll do some writeups later today, after I’ve… …found something to eat. Shaun’s gone, too, so there’s literally nothing in the house that can be prepared to eat: no milk for cereal, no bread for toast, no nothing. There’s a pint of buttermilk that’s unopened which might be okay for making quick bread with, but how do you tell if buttermilk’s gone bad?
