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.
Baby costs came in today: 11k+. Don't remember how much of that's covered, though. These breast barnacles are 'xpensive!
Ouch. But I think that sounds about right (all associated costs--epidural, hospital, OB and ped came in around 12K for us. We were responsible for 10% of that but we had stashed enough in our flexible spending account to cover our portion. I thank super-planny husband for that.) Also, BWAH! That's the best baby-related phrase I've ever heard.
Heh. Ours was, including Em's care, $29k. God Bless the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and surgery! All covered, thank Gods, otherwise, I'd still be there washing dishes.
Thanks, Cass. I am going to go jump in the shower now and see if I can wash away some of these aches and try to look pretty.
I should just cut out the middle man and vacuum the cats directly.
If you have a Kirby, they have a special attachment made expressly for vacuuming your pets. I never got one, but the concept
sounded
good. Practical application? Well, scarring does sound likely.
{{sj}} Feel better soon, hon.
Damn, babies have gotten expensive. Not that they haven't always been, but it just seems more so now. I think both mine ran in the vicinity of $5k each, since they were c-sections. But that was early '80s. Thank heavens the military covers everything or we couldn't have afforded them.
Bitches is also the place when I can post this:
There has been this muffled buzzing noise that has been bugging me off and on for at least the last hour. I got up several times and tried to figure out where it was coming from.
Couldn't identify it. Neighbors blowing leaves maybe? Power tools? Aliens transmiting vibrations into my brain?
Couldn't figure out in what direction to look since everytime I got near a different window or door, it faded.
We all know where this is going, right?
Yeah, it was coming from
inside the house.
To be more precise, a box under the bed.
I think I would prefer a gremlin that flickered lights or something. Leave my sex toys alone.
Leave my sex toys alone.
Maybe it was just lonely. Can't blame a poor gremlin for trying.
hee hee.
I need a haircut, but we forget every day since my showers are such a pain.But I need to do it soon, because it looks like I think the whole world is boring, this way.(Yeah, sometimes it's true.)
- Loving* new stereo, though.
Bitches is just, closer, more likely to get smutty...um, and stuff.
Leave my sex toys alone.
Hee.
I am out of the shower. Wearing a little black skirt and a printed top. Feeling a little bit better. Teacup Guy should be here within the half hour.
t /boring meme updates for the day.
Can't blame a poor gremlin for trying.
The sad thing, it actually sounded *exactly* like what it was. I just figured that since I was alone and they were put away in a box, couldn't be *that*... Imagine how red my face is/was now.
Glad you feel better sj.
sj, the rest of your Sunday sounds more interesting than mine. I'm trying to convince myself to go to the gym, after which I need to grab a few groceries, and then vaccum the living room. I forget what color the carpet is.
Since the trailer for Serenity was released (which yes, I watched), and it struck me that the movie looks pretty interesting, I thought that maybe I didn't give the TV show a fair shake. Thanks to the magic of Blockbuster, I rented the DVDs this weekend.
It's not as offputting as I remember, I'll say that. And Simon is very pretty. And Adam Baldwin is a sexy bitch, though it took his role on Angel to make me realize that. I still dislike his character.
I still hate the Western-type phrases and the Chinese epithets, largely b/c the Chinese is never explained (and I've watched the original 2-part pilot through....the one where Mal gets married-but-not-really, and there's been no explanation as to why they all swear in Chinese, and sorry, but that bugs).
Also, every planet they land on to do business seems to be a cousin of Middle Earth, with the dancing and the fiddling and whatnot. I keep waiting to see Frodo.
I feel bad for not liking the show as much as most people do, like I'm a big traitor. And yet, the movie actually looks interesting. I can't explain that.
Hee! I can only imagine going "What on earth are my neighbors doing that sounds like a vibrator??".
Argh. Am really getting pissy at girl who shows up to meetings late. I mean, yes, I know you do. But when I tell you I have a plane to catch? I'd appreciate you being at least VAGUELY on time.
