Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I have three weddings to attend between April and October. That's 3 opportunties for new dresses, provided I have funds.

I am starved for some new clothes. It sounds horrid and selfish and awful, but I haven't bought anything new in so long, and I want to get something springy and light and girly and lovely. Something that I don't have to worry that it will go with everything else I own, or be work appropriate.

I want some shoes that AREN'T black.

I want to spend $75 on something besides prescriptions or electricity.

I want to pay someone to dig their thumbs into my iron-rod shoulder muscles for an hour. And not talk to me, in a dark room with fluffy music playing.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Hmm. Kat and ita gave different answers to my VCR question. I guess I have to think about it and decide on my own.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I was talking to DH today and I realized we've only been married 4 years. Waaay too much has happened in those 4 years

Whoa. I've been married longer than you. That seems wrong somehow.

Aww, my mom was married in blue! Yay.

So was mine. Well, blue pinstripes.

Married in pearl, you'll live in a whirl;

Does ivory = pearl?

My mom was married in red, the second time around.

Married in red, happy in bed?

Married in green, life is a dream?

I don't know,I would think yes. And what does it mean to live in a whirl?

Let's just assume a tornado of happiness.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It sounds horrid and selfish and awful

How? I think you should have all those things.

Me, I can have no more dresses, until I've worn the ones I've got. Between hand-me-downs, and this one shop in MI (it's like she shopped for me -- I could go in any time I was in the neighbourhood and pick up something that looked good and fit right with a minimum of actual effort. And she knew just what to bring to the dressing room), I have too many still.

I've slightly dented the list since moving to LA, but it's a long road ahead of me, with no actual dates and stuff.

Lee, I'm right. Ignore Kat.

Burrell -- weird -- it seems like you and the DH have been married for the longest time (in a good way, natch). How long did you date beforehand?

If you judge by the state of my house, the tornado part appears to be correct...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Gah. I am in Houston. Tired as fuck. But too wired to sleep.

Flight was the smoothest I've ever had. Plus pretty Chicago at night.

Ok, ita is right. I do deserve them. I'm just awful with money, and I've been so trying to be fiscally responsible that I've gotten into the "spending = BAD" mindset.

And I need to fucking lighten up.

I'm going to save some money from each check till the end of April and buy something pretty for L's wedding.
