When I planned my wedding my mother only wielded her power twice: She added an entree to the meal and insisted I order the flavor of ice cream I liked best.
Damn, what a great Mom I have.
Jayne: 'Cause I don't know these folks. Don't much care to. Mal: They're whores. Jayne: I'm in.

[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.

Cough drop up the nose ... wonderful idea! I'll use it the next time she pulls that! or at least threaten it (she usually pulls this stuff over the phone).
Sparky - you do indeed have a good mother!

She and I seemed to be in agreement that the ice cream flavors deserved more consideration than what I wore.
eta: So, Hec, what flavor(s) gelato did you end up with?

Now tagless for your comfort.
My mom may be a little crazy-making, but damn--she's always been supportive of me no matter how much I weighed.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Don't forget to hide the evidence, Aimee. Handiest spot will do.
My advice, conversely, would be not to hide the evidence but to make an example of the evidence, possibly by leaving it at the crossroads with a bell-ringing town crier shouting out the terrible crime that brought about such an end.
I shudder to contemplate what this says about the difference between the way Cindy thinks and the way I think. I don't think it's terribly flattering to either of us.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
For those that were at the LA F2F, I think it's time for me to retire the Bitch Coat.

I got to the gelato counter fully intending to try Teppy's recommendations of ginger gelato or the bourbon-vanilla. But my tongue remembered the incredibly addictive pink grapefruit with campari sorbet so that's what I got. Apparently I wanted something that was cool and bracing and brisk and sweet/tangy more than rich and luscious. But it was so so good.
Also, I am recaffeinated.
