I'm kind of limp and draggy today which is absolutely fine because I plan to do NOT A DAMN THING TODAY. I finished my final proof yesterday (I still have to check a DVD for a few things, blah blah finishing touches blee but ALL THE LINKS HAVE BEEN CLICKED and ALL THE CROSS-REFERENCES HAVE BEEN CHECKED, hallelujah), and I pretty much plan on having pancakes for lunch and watching Hitchcock movies all afternoon. If I am very lucky, there might even be bacon.

Also, I think my mother feels kind of guilty about the Cleo Saves Her Family initiative, because she saw a guy selling jewelry at the [university center] yesterday and picked up a couple of moonstones for me. The key is from the 1890s; I don't know why the guy was selling keys, but he was, and Black Ribbon starts in 1889, so that's why she got it for me. Aw.

Yay! Pretty Jewelry is always nice!

I like the necklace in particular.

Heh, yeah. I also saw an iPhone background with the Twilight hands holding a cupcake, and the title was "Midnight Snack."

I love keys I have random bits of key-everything just laying around.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

It's very simple and wearable, which is nice.

Same here. Was incredibly excited to see they finally did another.

Awwwww! Mama de Cleo is not only awesome, she's sweet too. Those moonstones are beautiful. I'm still not finished reading Black Ribbon, gotta do that.

Yay for being done and days off! Congrats on being finished!

Aww, that's so sweet!

Awww, your mother sounds like mine. She's always picking me up little inexpensive but awesome trinkets, like used books (an ARC of a posthumously-published Madeleine L'Engle novel turned up at our Goodwill somehow!) and, recently, a pair of gorgeous vintage key earrings. Mothers are the shiniest.

You're mom is so sweet and that key is pretty. I have a fascination with old keys and am currently drooling over this one (http://www.rocklove.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=24_7&products_id=150&zenid=ef516c6b91cff85a71baa5d0b00bfa06). Must make some money...

Your Mom is so sweet! Mine is always doing stuff like that, too, even though I'm grown and out of the house. (Although with kitchen gadgets and black cat things instead of jewelry.)

Random presents are always the best presents!

Your mommy luffs you!

[elbales]

Your mom is pure grade-A awesome.

And now my husband is sick and needed advice over the phone from our doctor and we had to sic the insurance company on him to get him to effing come to the phone, and the way my husband phrased it was that I needed to be your mom. You know, get all "this is not acceptable" on the doctor's assistants and threaten them with the Wrath of BlueCross/Blue Shield of Illinois.

So even people who don't actually read the CleoJournal are exposed to the awesomeness that is the CleoMom.

The End.

Moms: Making Life Better Since 1889!

Also YAY WRITING!

[lost-garnet.livejournal.com]

Awwww yer mum.

Also - holy geebus the background freaked my shit for a moment. Ghosts is ghosts, I don't care if they're purple and Casper-y.

Dammit!

I have been looking for a decent moonstone pinkie ring for about four or so years now. The one I had crushed, and then I bought another one which was more in scale with my other rings and the stone fell out! I have yet to find one...

... they're pretty, but it makes me sad. :(

A gift -

You've likely already seen this - but in thanks for the words that have made me laugh (and wasted more work hours than are probably right)

Thanks. :) And may your day (and month!) improve.

If you haven't been pointed this way before, I'd like to point you to the comic Candi. Its latest storyline has a subtle parody of Twilight in respect to the attractiveness of Edward and his personality. The first relevant strip starts here (http://candicomics.com/d/20090908.html). The girl, Laura, is on a date with a guy she found on the internet. I held off on reccing you this until it was an official Twilight parody.
