Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I just built a house!

Ok not so much built, and certainly not all by myself, but I used power tools and did interior trim and siding. I'm covered in white drywall dust and so very happy. Also, I look hawt in a tool belt. I'm going back for more tomorrow.

That's so cool, Heather!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

So now it's attached with staples.

As long as they're from a Swingline stapler, it's still a fabulous look.

Whoa! You totally need this: [link]

(ETA: Not the size 3X part. Not sure why that came up.)

You know, I looked fabulous when I left the house today. And before I even made it out of the car, I broke a strap on my high-heeled T-strap shoes.

just put a few staples into the other strap, and act like it's a fashion statement.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Very cool, Heather.

This reminds me of the time a family friend asked if my broken glasses (one arm missing) were a fashion statement. Um, no. My mom had stepped on them that morning. Har.

Maybe I really do have to move...666 being in my address and all.

Just don't get the fingernail memory while you're there, and I think we're fine. Or, you know, you could just be less superstitious than me.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Oh! I forgot about the post holer I got to play with too! I'd pictured one like the one I grew up with, two shovel like things kind of scissored together. Nope, this one's like a mini-drill-to-the-middle-of-the-earth jobbie. So cool.

ETA: I need a shower. I'll be back in a bit.

Wow, there were advances in post holers while I wasn't looking. The inexorable march of progress. Neat.

Now tagless for your comfort.

unless he was mormon, 'cause mormons are hot.

I corrupted a Mormon boy once. He was HOT.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've only met one Mormon. He was delicious.

QED.

I think my shoes hate me now! But they started it ... the staples were perfectly reasonable considering.
