Never again!

[botias]

I have a nasty sugar hangover from 10YO's birthday party last night. Icky. Yuck. But he keeps telling me how much fun his birthday was, so that's good. And, I'm trying not to spend my tax return on the biggest flat screen at Target. That's actually not difficult at all. And I've been working on Chapter 21 of Between Two Evils. I wrote the parts from Lotor's POV, but then when I went back and filled in Allura's POV, it changed the course of the thing. She had strong opinions I hadn't taken in to account when I was writing from Lotor's self-absorbed hissy fit viewpoint. I have twelve reservations already for March. If they all went through, I could be up in the middle of the night every other night all month. Or every night for a week. Could be crazy. I just never know...

ETA: Birthday Cake is POISON

Yay for more "Between Two Evils." That fic is fun. What do you have reservations for in March?

Sorry about the sugar hangover, but do not blame the birthday cake *covers cake's sweet ears* Cake does not make people eat cake. People make people eat cake!

Thank you! It's only been a year since my last update... I run a service where I deliver portable pools for women to have babies in.

*Groan* 12YO will be celebrating becoming a 13YO with candles stuck in a block of tofu, that's all I got to say.

You can be sure 12YO will not be celebrating and will be scowling well into their 13th year if they are presented with a candle covered block of tofu no matter how artfully decorated. Maybe just cupcakes so there's not a ton of cake laying about acting the temptress.

That's a cool business. What happens when the babies are early or late and you've stacked up so many deliveries?

Hah! The tofu block was his suggestion. He's a very unique soul is 12YO. I was all for poking the candles into a nice zucchini. In my defense, I had the same idea and the cake was only four inches in diameter, but it turned out to be very high octane stuff, especially with assorted very rich confection chasers from the same bakery. But, I'm sure some sort of lesson was learned, and I will behave better next time so we won't have to shock the guests with unconventional offerings.

Babies always arrive exactly when they mean to. I have 3 pools, and have yet to have them all out at once, or at least, all unavailable at once, so I'm able to rest easy in that department. Most people have the pool 24 hours or less. It's not one of those things people want hanging around once the fun's over generally.
