BLARG!

“Do you like vegetables?" Sophie asked, hoping to steer the conversation towards a slightly less dangerous kind of food.
"You is trying to change the subject," the Giant said sternly. "We is having an interesting babblement about the taste of the human bean. The human bean is not a vegetable.”

I. Am. Exhausted. Emotionally and physically spent. I'm waiting here for Quinn, who is waiting on Tabbi to get out of the bathroom so that he can use the bathroom and he and I can go for a walk.

It's beautiful outside. It's shifted to fall and the air is clean and cool. The house got too warm this afternoon, but I didn't dare turn the air on so I've just been...warm. Very. Warm.

The neighbor's little girls were going to come over tonight, but I don't think they are coming afterall. I'm going to go get G-man into pajamas and we'll have devotions. It's time for us all to be getting ready for sleep.

“I was glad my father was an eye-smiler. It meant he never gave me a fake smile because it's impossible to make your eyes twinkle if you aren't feeling twinkly yourself. A mouth-smile is different. You can fake a mouth-smile any time you want, simply by moving your lips. I've also learned that a real mouth-smile always has an eye-smile to go with it. So watch out, I say, when someone smiles at you but his eyes stay the same. It's sure to be a phony.”
-Roald Dahl- Danny, The Champion of the World
