Things that made me...

Giggle - wardrobe malfunctions. I had at least two today. I bought this really pretty grey slacks during the summer during Macy's 75% off sale. I think I paid like 15-20$ for 110$ slacks. They're button fly with a snap up panel to give it a much smoother look. One snap fell off before I even wore it (has been fixed AND the big decorative snap found and will go inplace of my temp fix when I get back to PA). Well today ANOTHER snap fell off about 5 minutes after getting to work (I have no idea why. They're actually a tad too loose on me now). I went through the day with a paper clip holding my pants together.

I also wore the decorative blue and silver scarf I knitted last year. I think i wore it once since it doesn't go with my coat and the school is SO hot it's uncomfortable to wear as a fashion statement but I did it anyhow today. I'm not sure WHAT is up with the yarn but it relaxes like nobody's business. It was Whovian length by the end of the day. Giggle.

Also in the giggle category, Kyo was on my lap last night and managed to type to lyrangalia 666 several times. I just think he was paying alliegance to his dark lord. brat.

Sigh - Had to clean Roy's ears with his vinegar-based medicine. He flung his head, coating my shirt and face with it. sigh.

Worry - Just when i thought Kyo was better, his eyes are a mess again.

go yum I made a recipe using kalamata olives and artichokes over chicken in a mustard-wine sauce. if you're interested let me know.

I've decided I'm going to crochet a baby blanket for my friend. I'm not letting the fact I don't know HOW to crochet stop me (mom does so...)

Fic - Sorrow's Dark Array Ch 30

Sorrow’s Dark Array
Author - cornerofmadness
Disclaimer - not mine, all characters belong to Hiromu Arakawa et al, Square Enix and funimition.
Pairing – Roy/Riza, Ed/Win (eventually) Winry/OC, mentions of Maes/Gracia and Al/OC
Rating – this chapter is R for violence
Time Line – anime based, spoilers all the way through the anime and the movie and does have strong manga elements such as Armstrong’s older sister and the land of Xing
Summary – As Roy and Riza prepare for their wedding, while dodging assassins, Ed and Al try to find their way back home.
Author’s Note #1– This was written after much prodding by evil_little_dog as a sequel to the source of sorrow and is now her holiday gift even if she has beta’ed part of it. So thanks to her and lyricnonsense for the beta. You do not have to read the first story to understand this. You’ll quickly pick up that Riza has retired from the military to be Roy’s wife and bodyguard. Olivia Armstrong is now president and she’s assigned Roy as the ambassador to Ishbal; oh and that Roy was severely injured in the destruction of the Gate, requiring some of Winry’s automail.
Author's Note #2 - This is a longer work and like real relationships, the ones listed in the pairings, take time to mend and come together. They have to work at it. Hope you enjoy the ride.
