Case management day today. I gave her two book reviews and explained what an editor is. Who needs management here? The books were Deb's and Hard Revolution but I also gave the Ouevre of Hecubus a minor plug. That was all helpful to *me* though, right?
Sunnydale's got too many demons and not enough retail outlets.

[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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
but I also gave the Ouevre of Hecubus a minor plug.
I'm glad you specified "ouevre" (which can playfully rhyme with Louvre if you sing it with a country twang), because receving a minor plug made me squirm a little.
That was all helpful to *me* though, right?
I think so.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
because receving a minor plug made me squirm a little.
Wow, my brain just went to a BAD place....

How so? Because I brag on you? Because I am a frightening profane cross between a missionary and a publicity flack? And of course I would not make the plug mistake again...I've only just got over being embarrassed about the first time. I'm not sure you want her to read your book...she won't Get It. Maybe she would buy it for, you know, smart people. ETA: OK, so what do people say instead. Because as one woman I doubt I could "hype" your book, nor give you buzz?

Trust my rage
I've been thinking about Princess Tickybox and her arrival all day, but just now getting around to saying I'm excited for all three of you!!!!
I just tried to order my gown for graduation over the phone.
Order woman: Well, what size are you?
Me: I'm not too sure. Normally, a women's M, but I'm pregnant.
OW: So, what size will you be when the time comes?
Me: I'm not too sure. I'm 5'9" and will be about 195 by then.
OW: So, a L then?
Me: I guess. What do you think? I've never seen the gowns before.
OW: Well, it would help if I knew how big you are.
Me: I guess I could measure myself. Would that help?
OW: Probably not. I'll just put you down for an L.
Surely I'm not the first pregnant woman they have ever had. How hard is it, particularly when she is supposed to be the expert????

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Wow, my brain just went to a BAD place....
Because I sent it there.
How so? Because I brag on you?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Stephanie, I don't think anyone has any idea how to size graduation gowns. The last one I wore was sized only by height, come to think of it.

I *knew* I should have quoted...dude, I'm brain-damaged, not completely thick...I get that, well, okay, I *don't*, but I understand where you went with it. But how is promoting my friends' books on the taxpayer nickel helpful to me?

What is even happening?
Wow, my brain just went to a BAD place....I'm just so thankful I'm not the only one.
But how is promoting my friends' books on the taxpayer nickel helpful to me?Because you love your friends and like to see them succeed, and know there's probably a good mix in it for ya?

Punishingly Intricate
Congrats Nora & Tom!!! That house is beautiful! Salem reminds me some of the little Colonial-era preserved town I grew up in in Delaware. And good for you for starting therapy again, Nora. The whole house buying thing is completely stressful. I wouldn't call my house "my house" until I actually had the keys and was sitting on the floor in the dining room post-settlement. I just was so afraid somebody was going to catch on to the fact that they were selling a house to me .
Safe and easy passage for PTB! Soon I hope!
