  1. On Thanksgiving morning, I did something known as the ‘If You Give A Mouse A Cookie” effect.

    If you give EmLee something to put in the fridge, she’ll want to make room so it doesn’t spill.

    If she wants to make room, she might just want to organize everything in the fridge.

    If she organizes the fridge, she might want to clean out all the shelves and throw out expired food.

    If she cleans the shelves, she’ll notice the gunk 1/12th of an inch thick and pull out the shelves to wash them in the sink.

    If she does all those, things, she might want to do the same thing to the freezer.

    But then I realized we still had many things to prepare for Thanksgiving and decided to clean the freezer out another time.

     

    Fast forward to Saturday, and I received a package. And in that package, was a book. And the title of the book was… (drumroll please…) CYTONIC!!!

    Then I started reading and finished it during dinner the same day.

    And I brought it to school today and talked about it with two of the teachers who read Skyward last year, and a bunch of kids commented on it. :)

      Congrats! What did you think of it? also, you have teachers who read Sanderson? You're so lucky!

      It. Was. Awesome*. And they read Sanderson because last year I convinced everyone to vote for Skyward for the end-of-the-year all-class read- I posted a SU on it when it happened.

      *Cytonic spoilers:

      My favorite parts were where M-bot threw a temper tantrum and Doomslug said poop. And when there was a mustachioed interdimensional cowboy riding a dinosaur. And all the big reveals. And the interludes. It was all just so scudding awesome.

  2. DID YOU JUST POUR WATER ON THAT CESIUM*?! *Cesium is an alkali metal known to be extremely reactive and super-explosive when it comes into contact with water. I think you’re supposed to put that in your mouth.
  3. I made a turkey!

      Noooo! Not my turkey-who-is-yet-to-be-named! (Though I guess it does come pre-stuffed...)

  4. Hey, look at what those people are doing! Mmmmm.... fuzzy.
  5. Recently, I've read The Name of This Book is Secret, My Lady Jane, the Ember in the Ashes series (Reading #3 right now), and I'm rereading the Rithmatist.
  6. Uh, are you OK? It appears you're bleeding out all over my white million-dollar Persian rug. Oh poop.
  7. EmLee goes over to where Szeth’s Facepalm’s bag is, and carefully opens it with the non-stuck hand. She digs around and comes out with something that looks like it could help.
  8. “Well, I don’t think it’s glitter glue, so if either of you happen to have a de-glue-inator, that would be great.”
  9. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

    We ordered Cytonic from a local bookstore so it won’t get here until NOT TODAY [Exasperated noises]

  10. “What the scud is happening? Can someone please help me get out of this glue?”
  11. EmLee braces herself and holds the glitter bomb as far away from her as her arm can reach. 2... 1... Silence. Nothing happens. Then some police chatter sounded, red and blue lights flash, but nothing else appeared to happen.
  12. EmLee runs outside, trying (but miserably failing) to contain the glitter.
  13. 8... 7... 6... EmLee grabs the box with the conveniently placed handle to try to take it elsewhere, though her hand becomes glued to it because of some cleverly-placed rodent trap glue. "Aw, stars! I should have seen that coming!" She shakes her hand around to try to shake the scudding thing off, but with no progress.
  14. Welcome! What books - other than Sanderson - do you like to read?
  15. "No, I appreciate it, but I just have a phobia of sharp, pointy, and potentially dangerous objects unless they're being handled by a responsible and trustworthy adult. But yes- box time!"
  16. EmLee backs away slowly from the sharp, pointy object. "How about we just use a box cutter instead of..." EmLee makes a gesture at the cleaver.
  17. "What about good books with strong female characters? But that's a bit of a cliché, isn't it? Hmmmmm..."
  18. This is weird.

    I just got back from the dentist where I got my first filling.

    Rewind a few weeks where I went to the dentist and found out I got a cavity! Whoop-de-freak'n-do. I felt around in my teeth and found a small hole I could feel with my tongue. It was on the bottom right side of my mouth.

    Now back to now.

    I was listening to the dental assistant and she said they were filling in a cavity on my upper right, not lower. I asked her about it, and turns out I had five cavities, not just one.

    ...yeah. Not a pleasant surprise.

    The assistant numbed the area and I got the shot to numb the nerve (didn't hurt as much as I thought is would- thanks, numbing cream!). A movie was turned on and the cavity was filled as normal. When I was done, I was amazed at how weird numbness feels. My upper right teeth felt like rocks and my gums just felt like... nothing.

    On our way home, we got some Chipotle and I tried some of my soda. And I'll tell you now, it is so. weird. You cannot feel the carbonation of the soda on the numbed area, so there's just this area that seems to just not exist.

    As I said, this is weird.

      To be fair, these are my first cavities ever. (Probably because we moved three years ago and never got around to finding a new dentist until recently.)

      Me over here who's never had a cavity ever

      Wow, sounds rough. :)

      I had that same record, until said two and a half years without dental services. And now I'm disapointed that my record was spoiled. Sigh.

  19. "Does it?" EmLee sniffed around. "I thought that was the source of the Cheeto smell." EmLee points to to a giant bowl overflowing with Infinite Cheetos. Yes, you heard (Read?) right. Infinite. Cheetos. [insert angelic singing here] "I think we must dare, for the sake of... uh... What should our "sake" be?"
  20. "Ah! There's a boy!" EmLee walks in slow circles around the package. "Girls, d'ya think we should open it?"
