Last month, I found Springsteen's autobiography for a buck at the used book shop in my MiL's neighborhood, and I've been saving it. I didn't even look at the table of contents.
This afternoon, I was finally able to get into the swimming pool with a creamcicle-shaped air mattress and a big tumbler of iced tea, and binge-read the first eleven chapters.
NOW I feel like I'm on vacation.

I just have to say that the word you're looking for is "nibble". "Nipple" is completely different.

Yea, should have caught that one.
But I won't offer up any excuses for being boob-brained...especially when Woran is involved :P

Because I'm ridiculously smart this way, I neglected to apply sunblock before floating in the pool with my book all afternoon, got the worst sunburn I've had in years, then put on my size ten jeans (the ones that are just a little too tight for comfort) and walked around the county fair for four hours.
I HURT. SO MUCH.
But the fair was awesome, Grandma spoiled the kids rotten, and my 18 month old niece had her first taste of cotton candy, so her teeth ended up as blue as her eyes.
Now my niece is all wound up and running up and down the hall between the bedrooms, giggling like a maniac, and I can hear Val and Hermione asking their Auntie repeatedly to please try to get the little one to be quiet, because they want to sleep.
It's so funny when the shoe is on the other foot.

That's something to be proud of, getting sunburnt in England.
Actually being present during the 2.5 days of good weather we have per year is good work, though it is semi-compulsory for all Caucasian males to get burned scarlet whenever the sun's out, in honour of the Fat Red Line of glorious military heritage.

I'll take the scientific credit of discovering the first turtle with a nipple :P

That really does need to be in a scientific journal. That would be surreal.

Plus, he packs inside of luggage fairly easily.
I have in fact stowed away in luggage before (though not on a plane).
Might be a bit uncomfortable on an overseas flight, but I might be able to manage.
I'd advise against trying. You might end in underpressured cargo hold...

Edinburgh is beautiful, as always, and we had a fantastic dinner at The Arcade. The rain made everyone not want to go walkies, though, so we’re leaving Edinburgh un-sightseen for the moment. This means Lord Synos will likely get a walk up the Royal Mile, dinner at The Arcade, and a ghost tour, because ghost tours! Whee!

Though I do appreciate the efficiency of a hippogriff, it depends more on the quality of the chocolate, actually.

Yeah, but the police asked me to stop doing that.
