Today I take a break and do a meme from the very talented and lovely, I imagine, Lauren.
Meme Directions:
Write five things about yourself with only ONE of them being true. The other four are fiction, and everyone else gets to guess which one is not fiction.

Who breastfed her ducky…with a blanket…because they’re her “private breasts.”

I’ve been planning to launch a new web ring for a while now. A few people have already joined but I’ve been waiting to announce it publicly until the BoBs were decided.
I figured that if I were in the top three, I’d get a lot of traffic the day the awards were announced and if [...]

And it looks like I will be going to prom with my cousin Floyd again this year. (It’s okay. He likes the mullet.) I know the point of these awards is to gain exposure and new reads and readers and that has been accomplished, in a big way.

Another is, of course, the old standby “in the drink.”
Laylee drops her baby in the toilet. “Arg! She fell in the drink.”
Marilla asks Cordelia Anne what happened to her amethyst broach. “Oh, that? Yeah. I dropped it in the drink.”
