I'm working on the whole liking-and-loving thing. Did I mention I have a boy? Well, I sort of have a boy. He's not really mine. We're in negotiation.
Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting... Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!
'Him'
Spike's Bitches 23: We've mastered the power of positive giving up.
[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.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
the best friend as husband is Teh Awesome. Tom and I were friends first, so it's like opposite J&Z. Anyway. My best friend & I just got pre-approved for the amount of money we need to buy the house in Salem I love, and got a lot of questions answered, and found out our credit scores (mine was MUCH higher than I thought), and also found out that the amount of money we want to spend on a house is a pretty low ratio to our income, so there's wiggle room if we want, or more likely, be able to pay down the mortgage and/or student loan after we settle.
Now, I am reallyo trulyo scared. What the fuck? What are we, grownups or something? No effing way.
I LOVE JULIANA'S WEDDING PICTURES THAT IS ALL BEEP. (hoping it will bring Rio out to play)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's wonderful news Nora! Wow!
And SA! Do not base your negotiations on sports leagues. No one wins in a lock-out.
We might owe another $16k in student loans. I'm not happy about it, but I think we are morally obligated to pay it back - it's a loan that Henry's parents took out to pay for his education that never got paid back. Now that H's dad has gone, apparently the debt has become H's. Which is all pretty reasonable, aside from teh part where we didn't know we had this debt when we were paying off Henry's loans a few years ago. The weird part is that the "Student Signature" is Henry's name, but doesn't look like his signature. It's peculiar, but I think pursuing that will be more likely to make trouble for H's mom than get us out of the debt.
To make a long story short (too late), so much for my crazy idea that our finances were under control.

Yeah, this is my total fear, which is why we are really, really, trying to keep our ratio as low as possible. It's so easy to get overextended. Without even knowing it!

What is even happening?
-t, did Henry ask his mother--that is something along the lines of, "If you and dad took this out and signed on my behalf, I own the debt. I just want to make sure it wasn't taken out by another family to pay to educate another Henry."

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Yay SA! Listen to -t on the negotiations, for she is wise.
Also, WOOT! NORA AND TOMW! Yay!!!!
Tom and I were friends first
See, my thing always was that if we had a friendship first, I had a very hard time seeing them in a sexy light (men and women both). Which is not to say I didn't have a few f-buddies, but... I don't know if I can explain it. I'm just wanton, I guess.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Heh, from way back:
You've been smoke free for a month, Lilty? Go you!!! You've gotten this far, you'll do it, girl!
Ummm, nope. I will buy the patches and try to quit in one month. For really.
ION, I can't believe it's been this long, but thanks for a great Buffista-riffic Year, mi Bitches.

Ummm, nope. I will buy the patches and try to quit in one month. For really.I imagine that's about when I will be giving it a go. I am thinking I will buy the gum as a back up plan, so that if I go insane, I can fall back on those, rather than on actual cigarettes.
Did someone here mention lozenges?
