I had the weirdest dream with Spike in it last night. I can even remember the details. Suffice it to say that I think I miss the guy, too.
I'm glad he's in the title.
We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. That's all I do now, not have sex.

[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.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
one of the main reasons I always wanted to be a mom was because I wanted to be able to be the kind of mom she has been for me.
This is just so awesome! (I feel the same way about my mom.)

The sad flip side of it is that it isn't looking likely that I will ever be a mother, but I will always try to reach out to others and take care of them the way she does.
Okay, I'm sorry.

Kristin, my older sister is childless by choice. This doesn't mean she isn't one of the most maternal people I know. She is AWESOME at taking care of people (and children) and goes out of her way to make them feel special.
It's what makes her an incredible person. Long before I had a baby, I enjoyed taking care of people in maternal ways. It made me feel good to do it--even before we even thought about having Owen. In short, having a child isn't a prerequisite to being a caring, loving, maternal person.

What is even happening?
No sorries please, Kristin--not for sharing yourself with us. I hope you've told her, or will someday.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Kristin, your mom is the sweetest!

And, so are you.
You gave me warm fuzzies.

Very true, and I plan on being the best adopted Aunt ever as well as good friend.
I hope you've told her, or will someday.
Oh yes. She and I regularly exchange long, schmoopy cards and letters telling each other how grateful we are to have the relationship that we do. We also spend a lot of time just hanging out and chatting. She's one of my best friends in the world. I think some of that comes from being an only child and from the fact she and Dad divorced in '93 and she's never remarried or been even in a serious relationship since. (I'm pretty sure that "fierce independence" is embedded on the X chromosome I inherited from her.) She rocks.
Man, that schmoopy tag just won't close.

That's some good schmoop.
