Thirddaughter's grad gown!



Gah! This time next week, my youngest child will have finished high school!

My husband, occasional killjoy that he can be, wanted to know what I was so excited about, since we still have college tuition to look forward to. I played this for him. Really loud.

(Anyone know how to get creases out of cheap polyester without melting it?)

Also, because it's adorable:



Servicedog asking Thirddaughter for treats and pets last night. Made me think of this. *snicker*

Okay, we’re trying this Free Fic Friday thing again.

So DSP Publications held a contest a while back to thank readers for their support of the new imprint. Winners were asked to supply their character preference and a prompt word to their author, and then the author was to write a story involving those characters and base the theme on the word.

Life With a Service Dog 101 Redux

Augh! I'm so confused. Doesn't LJ let you have around 10K per post? It's not even letting me have 5K!

Anyway, obviously I've got a fic to post, but since LJ's being a bastard, I'm just going to have anyone who wants it comment here and I'll send a .doc later today. Anyone whose email I don't have, either leave it in a screened comment or PM me with it.

The story was written for a DSPP anthology coming out... sometime this summer, I think. But I have to have it in...

Sappy mom moment

Thirddaughter and girlfriend had their prom this weekend, and I told Julia I'd post a pic. (Admittedly, very little arm-twisting was involved.) I stuck it under a cut 'cause it's big.
