June's 12 of 12
Well, all right! My favorite day of the year (Quinn's arrival) corresponded with 12 of 12 this month! Woo! (Don't know what 12 of 12 is? Visit Chad Darnell for all the info.)
9:29am: Well, hello, Archie. On me. As usual.
2:42pm: Wow! That's a big jump in time. Uh... I was cleaning and packing up boxes of old scripts and casting bids on projects I ended up not casting and loads and loads of submissions and source material on archived columns and of course the raw goods for the third edition of Self-Management for Actors to be totally ready for Quinn's visit... and I got a very deep bruise inside my finger. Ow. (Yes, that's 90210 on in the background. Duh.)
3:56pm: Yay! They're here! Quinn and Keith roll up in the TicTac, top down and all. Yay!!!! Let the fun begin!!
4:02pm: This is our receipt for Quinn. You know... in case we need to return him. ;)
4:28pm: Quinn very quickly settles into Keith's new computer (Reggie) and its awesome, badass computer games.
6:34pm: The boys have headed off to the market to buy supplies for Quinn's half-birthday celebration tonight and that means there's a chance for skittish Thwok Kitty to investigate the fort they built for Quinn before they headed out on their walk.
6:35pm: BONUS PIC! The bonus pic this month (as I say... since there really isn't an official one) is "update." And the update is on the status of my bruise. Ow. Still. Ow.
7:02pm: Quinn and Keith return from the market equipped with cake mix, eggs, and ice cream. Oh, boy!! It's gonna get fun here, shortly.
7:46pm: Got word from the director that they've had to recast a role in Another Harvest Moon (which starts shooting Sunday! Eep!!), so I've got to do a quick update to the casting page, since IMDB monitors it to announce attachments.
8:03pm: Unfortunately, I am not happy with my TiVo right now. It skipped The Mole on Monday and I'm having to watch a recap that the awesome Ellen sent me to, so I can catch up. Grr. (But thank goodness I have that option, right?)
8:12pm: Ooh, look at that icing for Quinn's half-birthday cake! Looks AWESOME. (Of course, I'll have none of it, due to that whole gluten thing, but *man* that cake is smelling really good in the oven right about now. Dayum!)
8:20pm: Convinced Thwok (and Archie and Salema) to come out and play with some catnip while the boys eat half-cake and we sing a half-song and give a half-wrapped half-present and a half-card to Quinn, celebrating that he's now closer to 10 than to nine years old. :) Awesome.
And now my boys are sleeping. And I'm working. All is right with the world. :)

Quinn is getting so tall! Hope he has a wonderful visit.

Thanks. I seriously want to wake him up and play. :) I'm so glad he's here.
And YES!! When he hopped out of the car and ran into my arms for a hug, he came up to my BOOBS!!!! Amazing! He's sooooooo tall! :) Just precious, too! Of course. ;)

Ha. I like the return receipt. All kids should come with these ;)
Thanks for sharing your day and photos!

They totally should, right? (Quinn wasn't as amused by the joke as we were.) Hee!
Thank you for visiting! And for the comment. :)

I have a friend who has celiacs disease. I really feel for her....and you! funny that you might return Quinn! I joke with my boys about stuff like that once in awhile too!

Thanks, Susan. :) Thank goodness, I don't have Celiac, just the gluten-sensitivity. I'm so glad it's not as bad as it "could be" -- as that would be so much more work to deal with. :)
Isn't it fun to torture 'em a little bit? ;)
Thanks for the visit and the comment!

The photo of the boys in the car is adorable. What a great father/son shot. Quinn's bag looks almost as big as him!
I can sympathise with your bruised thumb as well. I had a nasty paper cut incident a few days ago and permanently altered my fingerprint. Ouch!

Yay for boy visits, and half-celebrations! Mmmm, cake and ice cream, yummy!

Yay indeed!!!!! :)

Permanently?? Wow!!!!!! That's "nasty" indeed! Yikes!
Yeah, the boys have a blast together and are SO much alike. It's creepy sometimes!! :)
Thanks for the visit and the comment. :)
