Or just some girl who will knock on my door and say, "Hey, wanna makeout?", whatever.

This is probably more fun. Choose this if you get the chance.

beth, health~ma to your MiL. And that is a damn pretty guitar, your dh is one talented, and kind, man.

Daniel got me ROSES!

Beautiful red, pink and yellow roses!

I must be allergic to them, cuz I got all sniffly when I saw them.

The funny thing about them? (Whitefonted to keep from her eyes, unless Andi wants to look...)

I went looking for some flowers for Andi, and there at my local grocery store in the Floral Department was a *sale* on roses. 50 cents each. The whole dozen cost $6.38.

Talk about serendipity.

the weird thing is that i have no vase. I thought I did. Andi's longstem roses are in a 2-quart avacado green pitcher for now.

I'm at work. Pity me.

I skipped just to call Drew Mr. Freak. How's that for respect?

thanks for the ma~~. and thatnks for all the good stuff about DH. He is much more generous than he thinks. However , if he could read my mind, I would have ice cream and hard lemonade ( or something similar) right now. He knows I want him to bring thses things home, but when he will actually come home... I don't know.

aww.. roses.

I should not sweat when giveing my self a quick pedicure. My toenails are now chrome, which is cool. However, not the right kind of cool.

I'm making a new tag.

~ma to Fiona and beth's MIL.

Still at work but I do have yellow pear tomatoes and a huge cucumber from my co-worker's garden. YUM!

Crush!girl wants advice. I have no advice to give her. Hence, I come to the Bitches for advice, mixed with commentary on my own situation.

She stupidly agreed to go on a date with a friend of a friend of a friend (yes, literally) after he saw her at a party and pursued her with gusto (now why don't I have that kind of balls?). However, the first time they spoke on the phone, pre-date, he apparently was so incredibly boring that she wanted nothing more than to get OFF said phone.

Now she wishes to know how to escape from a first date that she senses will be a disaster with a minimum of hurt feelings on her part, while also making it clear that it's not a date that should be rescheduled and poor smitten random boy should just drop it and move on.

She suggested the possibility of lying, saying "I'm dating somebody else." I have considered that this may have been a hint to me to get off my ass and ask her out, but must discard it based on body language. Thus, I was forced to suggest that making up an outright lie was probably a dangerous route.

Any other suggestions? Make me look smart, people! Make me look resourceful! While you're at it, make me look like James Dean!
