Saffron ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Cool to know, thanks Gud. My character is a cleric of Lathander. It's interesting. I'd never played a cleric before. I keep forgetting handy things she can do.
vw, don't hate the sestina. They're powerful if written well. (And so very hard to write well.)
All you asparagus haters are crazy with a capital crazy. It's got a short season, but when it's in, it's the tastiest thing around.
I was gonna say. What have you people been doing to your poor asparagus? Boiling it? Steaming it until limp?
Timelies, Bitches! I skipped over 500 posts, so ~ma to anyone who needs it.
Yay, vw, on your class!! Woot!
I am back from Lil Sis's wedding. I am so freakin' tired, but I made it down there and back and it's all good. The BF and I left Friday morning and got to my parent's around 8:30pm. Lil Sis, her now-husband and her 2 kids were there. We chatted for a bit then they took off cuz the kids had to get to bed.
Sat. morning, the BF met my dad (he was already asleep when we got there the night before). My parents seem to like him, so that's good. In fact, at the reception, one of my sisters said, "I like J. He seems really nice." My dad said, "Of course he's nice. ChiKat wouldn't date someone who wasn't."
My older sister and her husband met the BF at the wedding. Now, they are not the most enlightened (can you say "racist") and I figured they would ignore my black BF. But, I was sorely wrong. My BIL chatted with him for quite awhile at the reception. Floored me.
BF liked my family, for as much time as he could spend with them. He said that we come from the land of little people and all our furniture is dollhouse-sized. For a man who's 6'4", I can see that. My dad is only 5'6" and I'm the tallest girl at 5'3". I never realized our furniture was smallish until he pointed it out.
We left Memphis Sunday afternoon, spent the night in southern Illinois at the halfway mark, then came the rest of the way yesterday. I'm beat.
Vegetables are what food eats.
I've got the first stanza and the envoi written. Now to fill the thing in.
ETA: Sorry...this seems to be my bitch of the day. Feel free to ignore as I continue to bitch as the day goes on.

It's not me; it's the asparagus. It has an unpleasant taste.
I love asparagus. Esp. roasted with olive oil and salt. Yum.
I'm with Tep.
Asparagus I do like. My mother says I have champagne tastes. Are artichokes vegs? Timelies! Put in a full writing day already and paid some bills. Love it when this happens.
Artichokes are just the most delicious veggies there are.
