Anyway, pizza was good, Mom had part of my salad, there were about 25 people there (which was a good amount, considering), including Brother, who came up from Tennessee. He didn't speak to me but did talk to one cousin for a bit and sat with his son (Nephew Radar). Sis KS moved over to talk to them as well.
While on the phone with
silvrethorn later that night, I got a call from Anita - "Where are you?" So they'd decided to actually meet up for dinner. I threw on some clothes (I'd been in my loungers) and fortunately, the restaurant was only about 10 minutes from the house. Another pizza/bar place and I really wasn't hungry but wound up buying appetizers (pretzel bites with house white cheese dip which was incredible) and a tuna salad plate that probably had at least a half pound of tuna on it. I wound up bringing over 3/4 of that home to go with the other salad and pizza in the fridge. Anyway, the cousins decided we should all go on a trip together within the next year and we may go to the Grand Canyon and/or Yosemite and/or Yellowstone. It could be interesting. Oh, my birthday! It was decent. We went out to Thai and I had yellow curry for the first time - it was very yummy. Mom had red curry and my neighbor, who went with us, had Pad Thai. Sis KS didn't like her meal and sadly, I have no idea what it was. But she doesn't want to ever go back.
I did get some lovely money for gifts. Sis KS gave me a bag of...stuff. Some of it is useful, some of it is. Um. Mom gave me some candy she'd won at Bingo and a go mug. And then I took myself to Hasting Nursery and bought some plants (tomatoes, two irises, two okra, some marigolds and some petunias). And because
silvrethorn asked when I told her, these are the kinds I purchased: Night Sky Petunia
Black Ray Petunia
Moonstruck Petunia
Frimousse Iris
Megabucks Iris
And for tomatoes, I was given an Evil Eye and a Bud's Atomic (tie dye cherry, I have no idea what the Evil Eye will look like, I haven't gone to a site yet), Cherokee Purple, Dark Star, and Sun Sugar - along with something else I can't recall and I don't seem to have a label for, so that will be exciting!

If this is your first time at <lj user="comment_fic"> on Sunday, you can either post a previous prompt, or fill one. Or both!
How to do this:
Looking for prompts? You can find them in various ways! You can rummage around at the <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ns96nSxuE3O7DYu7fYyUeXIRASUiXqWRhLosbl14rFs/edit?pli=1#gid=0">Lonely Prompts Spreadsheet</a>, or go into the <a href="http://comment-fic.livejournal.com/calendar">Calendar Archives</a>, or for more recent prompts, you can use <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/search/?type=advanced&area=comments&journal=comment_fic">LJ's advanced search options</a> to find prompts to request and/or fill.
Whichever you decide to do, prompt or fill (or both!), please remember:
1. You can only request five prompts to be filled.
2. You can request no more than three prompts from a particular fandom.
3. You can, however, fill as many prompts as you'd like!
4. In the subject line, <i>be sure</i> to say whether this is a request or a fill!
5. You must link back to whatever the prompt is in the community logs (whether filling or requesting it be filled), and, if you're filling the prompt, <i>please complete the fill as a response to the original prompt</i>.
6. If you are filling an "any/any" prompt, please let us know what fandom (or, if original, say so!) you're using for the response.
8. If there are possible triggers in your story, please warn for them in the subject line!

race_ulfson posted this on FB last night and I was floored because...well, after watching about seven Shark Week episodes in a row, all I could think of was how bloody the water looks. Hopefully you can see this video because wow. Additional links: Hormuz Island
Various other videos.
And earlier this week, two - two! packages arrived for me, one from
perpetual and the other from Breyer. So here, let's ( open them, shall we?Collapse )You got: SAN from "PRINCESS MONONOKE"
OK, so she might not like you at first because...well...you're a human. But, once you become her trusted bestie, she'll do everything to protect you. She'll be like a guardian angel but with a blood-thirsty personality. She'll have your back 1000% and if you ever need a sense of security, you can always depend on the baddest wolf girl in the forest.
San or Nausicaa would've been my automatic choices, truthfully. So yay for me?
Give me a prompt. Please, no pairings nor fandom.
I will write you a fic - it might be very short, it might be up to 1,000 words. It may be fandom related. It may be original.
Thanks!

The Finnish wolf with a heart-shaped face, though I thought it looked more like a fox face stuck on a wolf body. Still cute!
Square Comics...with a dark twist at the end.
Yuki is a wolfdog who isn't as huge as he looks.
Also, for Americans only, enter to win a collection of Buffy DVDs, a "Team Spike" t-shirt, and other goodies!

I need to weed stuff too. Weeding. Bleah.
I hope you can get the weeds wacked someday!
