Squad Goals

When I had my kids over 20 years ago, I had a plan. To make a little unbreakable posse of true blue friends. Buddies to the end. Three amigos who will have each other's backs until the end of time. Having them 25 and 18 months apart would ensure that. Wouldn't it?

Smash cut to present day. How many times have I asked Audrey what one of her brothers would want for his birthday and gotten a bland stare. Friday Henry went to Montreal to do some kart racing, due back Sunday. Sunday morning I asked Audrey what it was like to have Henry away all weekend and she replied "I didn't even notice he wasn't here" without even looking up from her phone. GAH!

I'd just love it if they'd have each other's backs, you know? Be a gang I can't infiltrate. If Elliott or Henry did something bad, Audrey would narc on them in a hot minute. All this led to the twitter posts between me and  Audrey below.

I still stand by it.

Ugh

4 to my right, 13 to my left. Why?? Why on earth would you take the elliptical right beside me? Yuck. And why??? I really am baffled here.

I actually am still on the elliptical. I took the photos and everything. Skills, right? Happy Friday!

Comic Con Photo Dump!

I know all these have been on Facebook but, as usual, I'm using my prerogative to post them again. I loved those three days and getting to relive them a few days later is so special. As you all know, my family, friends and co-workers don't really get me. They try, they indulge, but they don't get me. I've started to accept that but it doesn't mean I can't crow about my love for all things nerdy. So here goes...

Hipster Storm was a "closet cosplay" which means I cobbled the whole look from things I already have. Next time I'll get a Starbucks cup with "Ororo" written in it...

"Who ya gonna call?"

My gentlemen companions.

The Enterprise bridge. Yawn.

It's hard to be all blase with my faithful Sherpa around

If you'll remember a few years ago, I took care of a little baby. The last home daycare kiddie at my place. This is him as Jimmy Olsen with his daddy Bizarro Superman and friend Lex Luthor

Disney Princess Warriors. So great!

Some kind of fish guy? He looked so good

Steampunk beauty. And she told me that *my* costume was great.

I'm so so happy with this! I got Dan Parent, the current Archie artist, to draw a portrait of me! I've been Archified!

This was Effie from the day before, now as Snape. I love cosplayers!

Blurry and tired

Hanging with my ukulele friend Gillian. Two nerd-doms crashing

The Kingpin. He promised not to crush my head in a car door (Daredevil reference)

More Steampunkers. The one on the right was the one in the pink skirt above. I'd love to see her closet.

Last day

How much fun was this weekend? I wish that everyone in my life loved this stuff as much as I do. But no matter, Like the subtitle of my twitter states: I have high self esteem. Or at least I fake it till I make it...
