Oldest leaves for college this week, holy cow.

#2 had a BLAST at the creative writing camp. And then he came home and thought about school and stopped sleeping again, sigh. Still. I'm soSO happy he could do the camp.

BabyBoy auditioned for a play about smuggling guns and food into the Warsaw Ghetto. This, he says, is better than Twelfth Night--still no ninjas or swordfights, but the gun-smuggling makes up for a lot.

D is officially an absentee husband/father, as softball try-outs have started. The season ends sometime in October (unless they make State) so I guess I'll see him then.


In response to all this madness, as soon as I saw where [livejournal.com profile] sperrywink mentioned there was such a thing as [community profile] cottoncandy_bingo (and that she'd signed up for it) I went off and followed, on the theory that it might help break the looooong story thing I have going. Don't get me wrong, I love letting things build, but a couple of short one-offs wouldn't go amiss. Thus, I present to you my very own fluffy bingo card:

Crush / Infatuation Intoxication Close Sandcastles Celebrity
Makeover Sleeping on someone Public transportation Pampering Beautiful
Pretending to be a couple Mirror WILD CARD Protect Finally
Flu Locked out Wearing pajamas all day Inspiration / Muse Fair / Amusement Park Ride
Adoption Morning Fireplace Kiss (without lips) Being silly


I think I'm going for a vertical bingo, first column on the left... How can I pass up an imperative for fake-dating?

"Kiss (without lips)" is stumping me. Are we talking the rock group or something?

Butterfly kisses, maybe? Though I think the comm rules are loose enough that I could go for a Kiss-the-rock-group angle if I wanted.... ::thinks::

Oh! I hadn't thought ot that....yeah, I'd probably try to get around it.

Ooohhh! *claps hands* I am very excited to see what comes from this bingo card!

I'm having to be stern with myself and not go for the "all the prompts in one story" option, because this is supposed to be giving me ideas to write shorter things! My brain...
