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.
It was my downstairs neighbor's funeral. She was 92, and lived a long, happy life.
had to spend some time lying on the cool cool floor of my bathroom
Was that where you were when you woke up?! You must be sore.
Sadly, I don't think I could stretch out on my bathroom floor. It would also have be cleaned first.
Was that where you were when you woke up?!
No, I spent maybe 30, 45 minutes there, then went back to bed. And god knows my bathroom floor could stand to be cleaned too, but I was more interested in the nice coolness of it than any mess. :)
I knew there was a reason why I keep all of my e-mails.
I just found the e-mail from my former employer telling me that my disability supplement would last for 29 months, which means it would end on July 10, 2005. I don't know what kind of recourse I have with them, but damn, I'm gonna make them feel SO badly for screwing me over like this.
My day is...going.
Aidan has decided that evil really suits him. He got angry with me and threw a tantrum. Most everything that was on my desk is on the floor. Ditto the dining room table.
Kara had an accident. A big one. And she keeps screaming about bugs, there are too many bugs, there are more bugs than people. I'ma ship her to Jilli.
Someone broke the headset that I use to take dictation over the telephone.
Despite it being Saturday, I had to take dictation because the muse struck, so what's a bob to do?
Then he had to tell me about his girlfriend, only she's not yet, but he's hoping, and she said she'd call this week, and she has 10 more hours of the week left, so he's still hoping. This is after I told him I had to get off the phone because Kara had an accident. A big one.
And Aidan is doing his thump, thump, thump trying to stay awake and not take a nap.
Oh, Deena. I'd come over and help but...I'm not really around the corner. Virtual hugs, though.
In mememe news, Stephen just brought home a Tree Tavern frozen pizza and I am beside myself with joy. It's the One True Frozen Pizza, and I haven't had one since high school. I didn't even think you could get them anymore, but apparently some not!evil coworker of his found them at her supermarket and picked one up for us.
Simple joys, people.
Oh, Deena. You poor love. I hope it gets better (or just, you know, stops). If you like, you can laugh at my senility, because somehow, when I first read that, I must have read your board name as "DavidS" and although I read
Aidan
as
Aidan,
my brain took it in as Emmett who did this:

...and boy, I was composing a post in my head, recommending Hec take
drastic
action, like no more baseball for the rest of the season. Of course, Emmett's 9 or almost so, and so in boy years, he's at least two years older than two year old Aidan, and so it's a different kettle of fish. I'm sorry Aidan's being two, when Kara's being three and a half. It's too much.

I've never heard of the brand. I will be googling, although I am generally happy with Stoeffer's French Bread pizza. Also, AmyLiz, I got your email yesterday and then gmail was being evil. To answer your question, I have done absolutely nothing about that thing we discussed last weekend. *sigh* I'm going to wait 'til Little League is over, I think. Having two of them in it at the same time is killing me.
Have you had any games this weekend. Ben's team lost. Again. That's a 0-6 record. I feel so sorry for him. He pitched the last inning and nobody scored on him. I think he walked one kid. I hope his coach lets him pitch some more.
Hec, I'm sending no-broken-player-ma to you, and Emmett's team, and am so glad he didn't clear your desk while having a tantrum. :)

Jake's team lost this morning. 9-2, I think -- I wasn't there, because of my neighbor's funeral, which got pushed back from Wednesday. They lost their last game, too, and he's getting bummed. The coach expects a lot more from 13- to 15-year-olds, I know, and they've been practicing but they're not having a great season.
Strangely, Ben doesn't seem to care if they win or lose. He really just enjoys playing, although they're using a pitching maching this year which took some getting used to.
I've never heard of the brand.
It could be a strictly NJ thing. Last I'd heard they'd gone out of business, but I guess not. And from what I can remember it tastes pretty much like it used to, so yay! Ah, food memories. I have so many.
Would you believe there's a pizza news website?
The phone number for Tree Tavern is 973-835-1906.
They're available at Shop Rite, Whole Foods, Kings and Publix. Of course, I have none of those stores.
I've decided to get Aidan up and not make him take a nap. This means he will be falling asleep in his dinner, but that's far and away better than listening to the gadawful thump thump now.

The Google queen! Why didn't I think of this?
