Must Thing Positive Thoughts

So what I just found out that my flight if via Continental (boo!) and not Luftansa...


So what that Donald decided to eat all my in-flight snacks while my back was turned (including an entire bar of dark chocolate  - that made for an uncomfortable night for him, I'm sure)...


So what that the sky is just pissing down rain in a sky so dark that it looks like it's ten at night when in reality it's only 1:30...


I AM GOING TO PARIS, DAMNIT! 


Bring it on! 

Quickie

Honest to God I haven't disappeared or abandoned my blog or suffered a freak jigsaw accident and lost the use of my fingers. I've just been busy.

REEEEEEALLY, really busy.

Legit busy, even. Things involving mortgages and DIY/HGTV-esque projects, (upcoming) trips to Europe, cooing over Baby Button, the Rugby World Cup, and a new place of employment. And wine. Let's not forget the wine!

So I promise promise promise to post a proper update in the coming days. Until then, enjoy my newest music obsession live in mini-concert on NPR: Aloe Blacc.

Or, alternatively, get your giggle on with Ask Vadar and find out the Empire's take on life's questions. 

See you soon! Enjoy!

It's Hot Out There, People!

Science! It says we'll manage as long as we can sweat balls through this heat...

It still bloody uncomfortable, though.

Thanks again for all of the birthday love! Many (many, many) ice cold drinks were had!

BHE and I are staring down the barrel of a VERY big week, so details on bday celebrations, four-century-old pop up books, and Baltimore Comi-con happenings will come later. Promise!

Try not to melt in the meantime...
