You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Spike's Bitches 24: I'm Very Seldom Naughty.  

[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 look more rad than Lutheranism

I know none of it's for me, but seeing "baby~ma" and "Stephanie" in the same sentence is freaking me out.

That said, baby~ma to (not-me) Stephanie!

t edited for a typo that proves my mind is 3 words ahead of my fingers at all times....

Our wings are not tired.

Have you taken a shower?

Good idea. My SIL gave me a manicure while passing the time and timing contractions. My fingers were very pretty in the new baby pictures.

Herding cats for fun

Go Stephanie! Much baby~ma for delivery and a happy child coming to you from Hayward.

Laura, I can be your shed buddy. I have just purchased a wonderful vintage wooden shed with adorable trim from the estate of my neighbor, and DH and I have realized we really have no clear idea about just how we'll transport it two doors down. Ideas include taking it apart, and getting some furniture dollies to roll it. We do know how nice it will be to have a workshop, cause we truly miss having a garage. Anybody needing a good workout can come and visit us next week and we'll work ya like a dog.

-t, front load washers are da bomb. I think I may love my washer and dryer more than the refrigerator and furnace. I've lived without heat before, which was rawther difficult in the Haight-Ashbury at the edge of the fog belt.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Can I dab some on a cotton ball and then apply? Has anyone mixed it into eau de parfum?

Get some perfumer's alcohol (you can use vodka in a pinch) to wet your cotton ball with first. It's also what you'd want to use to mix it into the latter. I've done the latter with essential oils, but not with perfume oils. There are many instructions online, if you'd like I can hunt them down later (have to get dressed now, I fear).

If I only had a brain...

AmyLiz, I apply BPAL with a Q-tip. Trust PMM over me, though.

Because books.

No, no, that's cool for now. I will google myself in a little bit. And good to know about the perfumer's alcohol -- had no idea such a thing existed.

I'm in love with all my pretty scents so far. Especially Hurricane and Moon Rose.

I'm still bitter towards everyone who can wear BPAL oils and have them smell the way they ought, since on me every single BPAL oil I've tried has turned to Play-Doh smell within minutes. Bah.

Hey Katie B, we tried having a group of strong people lift the old shed on a flat bed to move it, but it didn't work out. We took it all apart and put it back together. This time is more complex because we are rebuilding it smaller. Still many of the components are nearly 20 years old, which has sentimental value to me. The original shed was built by DH#2 and two of my nephews. 2 of those 3 are gone now but I still remember them building the shed fondly. Brendon is sweet to preserve as much of it as he can for me.

Sniffing wrist... So far, no Play-Doh smell. Body chemistry is weird.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Were you induced, Susan?

Yep. Between the induction and the sheer amount of drugs in my system by the end, my experience is completely useless for things like knowing when other people are in labor or applying personal experience to my 19th century childbirth scenes.
