Dakster Sullivan has some "mommy and me" time planned, while her husband works on a few costuming projects.

Ariane just started watching Doctor Who for the first time ever. She now has after-the-toddler-is-in-bed evening plans for the next 3 months!
Patricia has been crazy busy this week as her sons have been returning from their respective visits to each set of grandparents. The family enjoyed giving the VIP treatment to first her mom, then her husband's mom in succession. On Wednesday she literally, yes LITERALLY, dropped off Mom #1 at Fort Walton Beach airport at 2:30pm, then hurried to Panama City to pick up Mom #2 and her oldest son at 4:50pm. Phew! She hopes to catch up on her personal blog and GeekMom in the next week.
Melissa is tearing herself away from her YA manuscript for a few days of SDCC madness – and celebrating the launch of Into the Thicklebit, a new webcomic cowritten with her husband, Scott Peterson, and illustrated by Chris Gugliotti.
Andrea will be attending the annual ArtsHampton fine art fair in Bridgehampton this weekend. This year's event will apparently raise money to refurbish the Pollack-Krasner home in East Hampton. In a million years, Andrea never expected to write those words. Andrea is wondering what the heck she's going to wear.
Natania is preparing for the annual family beach vacation while caring for her nearly two month old baby girl (and watching more Vampire Diaries than is probably acceptable). On top of that, she's collected her first harvest from the heirloom tomatoes she grew from seeds with her son, and is giddy on that count beyond measure. She's looking forward to catching up on her summer reading next week, including her ARC of the third Vampire Empire book, The Kingmakers, by Clay and Susan Griffith and Saladin Ahmed's Throne of the Crescent Moon!
