Chapter 9, Page 19 Suicidal wildlife.
Ever get the impression that Mary is rather tightly wound?Though it is understandable under the circumstances.

Chapter 9, Page 18 Does he walk?
That's a very good question. He never really did walk. He went straight to running. A lot.The best part of Grandpa's house is that the rooms are interconnected. So Peter can run round and round and ro…

No Title
I sympathize a lot here, but also realize that nothing comes of wishing change wouldn't happen. After all, if there was no change, we'd be up to our hips in trilobites.As cool, and creepy, as that wou…

Yeah. Peter's bigger than the others were at that age. It makes a difference.Sorry for the lack of updates lately. It might continue to be erratic until finals are over. I had hoped to get some of thi…

Chapter 9, Page 15 Something terribly wrong
I noticed in Walmart that the bras were very nearly touching the aisles for boys underwear and pajamas. Awkward doesn't begin to describe it.

Well, at least Mary understands that there's a problem. A tad overly emotional about it, but she does have some understanding.I had a lot of ideas for Mom's last line, but I think the 'oy' gets the id…

Mary is in trouble. Though perhaps she's suffered enough for her crime?

There are people who perform wonders under pressure. There are those who approach problems with calm and poise.Mary isn't one of those people.

There are children in the house.There is no noise.Worry.It's pretty amazing how often that progression works out.

Chapter 9, Page 9 Queen of the castle
Last Thursday was the 22nd. That's the 20th anniversary of Jacob Wetterling's kidnapping. I was six when that happened, so Mary wasn't born yet. My memories of the time are kinda vague, and I don't th…

Chapter 9, Page 8 Hexagonal graph paper
For those of you who aren't in the know, Mary has just discovered something that has certain groups screaming about Satanism and witchcraft....I just realized that doesn't narrow it down much.

Been a while.
Well, I don't hang out here in LJ much anymore, but there is this one thing that I noticed that wouldn't really fit in any of the other places I frequent.I just started watching Vision of Escaflowne (…

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww.Little ones do the sweetest things without even thinking. Of course, they can do annoying things in exactly the same way. It balances out. ^_^

In case you're curious, or couldn't guess, Mary and family are watching X-Men: Evolution in this episode.That still bugs me...

Chapter 9, Page 2 Over thinking.
Mom's suggestion was a good one. It's just that Mary has a way of overdoing, well, everything. She also tends to be rather dramatic. Or did you already notice?

Chapter 9, Page 1 Minnesota action hero
I wouldn't say that I (or Mary) had a crush on MacGyver at this point. That would necessitate wanting to be with him. I just wanted to *be* him. Doesn't hurt any to find out that your favorite action…

Here it is, as promised. The new chapter starts now. Whether I can maintain a regular update schedule is yet to be seen. (Life has been, ah, interesting.)

Chapter 8, Page 22 Sad movie
It doesn't really help to point out that it's just a story. Even with that knowledge firmly in place a good story will still affect Mary as if it were real. And she's easily affected by sad things. Ra…

Never would have guessed turtles could move like that. Of course, they aren't terribly maneuverable, but they aren't all that slow, either. At least that species. Red-eared slider, I think is the name…

I love that old willow. And I do mean old. It's probably older than the house and that's roughly 100-years-old.

This sort of thing can get very annoying. Though I suppose it's better than using her hair as a dinner bell.
