Happy 4th! :)
I'm spending mine at home by myself while the kidlet and his dad are going to a barbecue and to set off fireworks. Because I got hurt at the lake on Sunday (It involved a vicious attack floaty shaped like a giant duck). And then last night when we went to see the DSO concert/fireworks display I got hit on the head pretty hard. I was putting the cooler in the trunk and the trunk lid fell on my head. Got me right on the forehead. Luckily it didn't break the skin, but boy oh boy do I have a headache. Proving yet again that there is no situation I can't make worse. ;P
It's all good though. I'm having an introvert party all by myself. The best kind of party! :D

Let's get Captain Yesterday and Lynora together in a roomful of harmless household objects! Better yet, start a "baby proofing" service.
I can see it now:
Concerned Parent: But we've been assured the house is safe!
Captain Yesterday: Oh, no, sir! For example, let's take a look at your average, everyday toilet...
Lynora: Oh, gods! My eye!
CP: We'll pay you anything! Just make us safe!

I broke down and bought the no-frills starter version of HeroLabs with part of my end-of-year bonus from the parents association at my school, because I'm a rookie GM and I figured it would help. I've now spent most of the afternoon entering my party's characters and converting them from the "Beginner Box" training wheels mode to full version mode and leveling them up to 5. So far so good.
Now I just have to wait for my new battle mat to to arrive from Amazon.)
And it's really pissing me off that, right after I spent my bonus, Think Geek came out with a gorgeous piece of frivolity that I could have bought if the timing had been better. If I'm *really* lucky, they won't sell out for two more months.

I'm becoming more and more convinced that Lynora is my long-lost half-sister or something.

If you think for a moment that I won't mention this development to Shiro's player, you're dead wrong.
You may receive... er... "one or two" additional data packs as appropriate holidays roll along. Only one or two. I'm sure of it!

The Captain & Lynora Baby Proofing
We stab ourselves so your kids don't have to!"
disclaimer: We're not responsible for children, toys, or pets developing a taste for human blood.
:D
It's the perfect business plan! :P
Of course I find it extra hilarious because when the kidlet was little I never quite got around to babyproofing beyond putting plug covers on the really obvious outlets. I have two younger sisters and a very large age gap between me and them. I already knew that conventional babyproofing was no match for the ingenuity of actual babies. :P

How I stabbed myself with the toilet.
Directly underneath the toilet handle is washer thingy with a stub to catch the toilet handle. Our washer likes to shift so the chain gets caught on something. But it's a simple fix to tighten it up again. Apparently, my thumb slipped ever so slightly as I was tightening it and stabbed it on the stub underneath the toilet handle, more of a prick really, but it hurt.

Ooh, yeah, I've done that. Not fun. More fun than when the protective cover comes off the screw on the bottom that's holding the toilet to the floor and you stab your foot on it. But only marginally. :)

My cats crack me up. There are lots of booms and bangs and hisses outside as folks light firecrackers and such in the courtyard or the parking lot. And they're all agitated, but trying to act cool about it. Like 'I just jumped up to stretch, that's it. I'm totally not freaked out. And now I'm going to lay down nonchalantly like I'm not bothered until the next firework startles me'.... It's very amusing to watch. :)

Is that reaction to different water/food?
