You are the fabulously quirky and independent woman of character. You go your own way, follow your own drummer, take your own lead. You stand head and shoulders next to your partner, but you are perfectly willing and able to stand alone. Others might be more classically beautiful or conventionally woman-like, but you possess a more fundamental common sense and off-kilter charm, making interesting men fall at your feet. You can pick them up or leave them there as you see fit. You share the screen with the likes of Spencer Tracy and Cary Grant, thinking men who like strong women.

Ow, sounds painful! Hope you're feeling better.
(Why don't cats ever give you that "nesting massage" when you most need it?)
Dear LindaBudz,
Rilla appreciates your kind sentiments. I have passed them on to her. Unfortunately, the only nests I know about are the ones I steal eggs and baby birds from. There's a nest on the patio, but try as I might, I just can't get to it...very frustrating. And as for a massage, I'm not sure what that is. I tried licking her face when she was down on the floor. Works for my brother, but she started screaming instead...
Love
Sha-do
Sha-do, You stay away from those baby birds! And give your brother a kiss for me!
So funny -- I was so curious WHAT you were doing down there! Hope you're feeling better. The cat dialogue was great!
And -- I just saw you mentioned by book in a comment on Disco Mermaids -- thanks! So cool to see it crop up!
If you're around the Century Plaza on thurs the night before the conf starts, I'm trying to drum up some folks for drinkies in the lounge. Hope you can make it!

Hey guys, would you give Rilla a message for me? Tell her I hope that she feels better really soon. I miss her writing and look forward to her coming back to group.

Hey LindaBudz,
I see the cats as usual have been up to their tricks. Glad they entertained you. Now that I'm better though, I had to shoo them away from the computer...it seems they were quite addicted ;)
Laini,
That was the problem with being down there...there's absolutely nothing you can do...dead boring. So glad I'm better. Will definitely be around Thursday night in the Century Plaza. Eve and Robin mentioned they'd have a get together at the bar...I believe it's also in the lobby. Would love to do something. Give me a time and I'll look for the bright pink hair!
Hey J,
Thanks for the lovely message. The cats were very good about giving it to me. Made me feel better really fast ;) Will be back to critique group next meeting...can't wait!
The kitty cats used the word 'peeps'. I'm so proud ;)
Hope the back is getting better Thrilla!
