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 am over the mortification (thanks Cindy cause without admiting and talking about it tonight, I might have just been all obsessive thinking all night) and I suspect she will think it is actually amusing.
I'm telling you, it's a great, "How I got hired" story.
That is my pattern, with sleeplessness, Cass. I obsess over things I can do nothing about, especially at arse o'clock in the morning. Sleep well.

Cindy = Cass
Sleep well.
On my way... It is 3, but I am relaxed and feel like I can actually lie down and just go to sleep.
Thanks again for helping me see the Not!Fatal part of my calling to express interest.
edit: Puppycat is having issues. She found a spider on the ceiling. Which I just smooshed (fun with Ambien). She is now quite upset as not only can she not reach the spider, she can't
see
the spider anymore. In my defense, I showed her the squished spider. She just is meowing plantively at the ceiling. I think she wants the spider to resurrect and then come closer so she has a real shot at killing/playing with it. Poor sad puppycat.
Gronk. A couple of hours of sleep will have to do; I give up.
Tickybox! She has a gorgeous glow about her just like her mother.
Did I just miss Cass?

I knew I should have gotten up earlier.
Such a beautiful baby! The pictures made me all sniffly. The first one is just so precious. I mean, they're all so precious, but that first one, it's a killer.
I hope Cass and Plei both got some sleep there. sj and Cindy, sorry you're up so early! Craziness. That was me yesterday. Thankfully, today I slept in bit. I needed the sleep after the week I've had.
Today I have to head out to my parents' place and let the woman that's watching the house back in. She locked herself out, poor thing. I figure while I'm out there I'll do some laundry and get the window air conditioner for the living room. We sure could have used it yesterday, but this way we'll have it when we need it again.
Lily is beautiful as is her mommy. She looks so tiny.
I'm up this morning getting ready to study some more for my test tomorrow. Not fun, but necessary, I guess. Last night I went to the "Baby Meets Bowser" class at the hospital. It was surprisingly helpful and the woman discussed all sorts of stuff I'd never thought of. So, it looks like we will be doing a bit of dog training around here. NOt much because they are pretty good, but some stuff that has never bothered me before might be an issue with a baby in the house.
vw, I am glad you got some sleep. I'm still awake. Doing some journal writing, watching Buffy, and probably thinking too much.
Lily is very cute, and I love the pictures of her with Mom and Dad.
My computer's clock and my body are telling me that it is 5:20 and I shoud go back to bed for a while. Unfortunately, I have to be at work in an hour, so I am pretty sure I can't.

Wow. That's a really cool class to have. I would have never thought of that, but yeah, I can see how it would be very helpful.
Poor sj! But, yay Buffy!
Poor Perkins!

One of the most interesting things she said was about hugging your dog. She said that in general, dogs find hugs threatening and that even if your dog accepts hugs from you, hugs from a semi-grabby toddler might be too much for them and are extra dangerous because it's high stress for the dog and the baby's face is right next to the dogs.
She also said, and I'd never thought about this, that your dog might be totally okay with a baby that doesn't move but be freaked out by a baby that starts to roll or scoot around because the dog has *never seen* the baby do this before - it's weird and scary. She really pushed (actuvely supervised) interaction so the dog is aware of the baby developing. It was a cool class.
Oh, and I forgot to mention yesterday, vw, I'm so glad things have worked out for your friend and you are feeling better. I'm sure it's a huge relief.
