Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!
[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.
{{Cindy and Ben}} More hoping-it's-nothing~ma for you guys.
{{Susan}} All the hairpats you want, sweetie. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
ImemeN, which may or may not be of the good, I finally had an interview at work for a position I applied for nearly two months ago. There's only two of us applying for it, so we should know fairly quickly who it went to, but I'm almost afraid to know. I'm so tired of being turned down. I think I'm the best candidate, but, hey, I'm biased, so what do I know. At least we finally got it over with and I'll know one way or the other soon. I was starting to think they were going to decide to just eliminate the position. Fortunately, my supervisor really wants someone in that position, because as a reservist he often ends up spending anywhere from 2 - 4 months totally gone while he's either in training himself or giving training to new recruits. Plus, they are talking that if he gets activated (which is becoming more and more of a distinct possibility) whoever gets the assistant team lead job will have to step into his shoes and (this is the good part) will get paid as a full team leader while he's gone. Extra money never hurts, even if it's only for a year.
Candles, especially candles that make you happy, are of the good. I have a kinda thing for having scads of them about but even just one puts me in a better mood. Something primal with the flames maybe, or just fire pretty.
California lemon-butt chicken was christened by DebetEsse. It's just roasted chicken with sage rubbed under the skin and some garlic and halved lemons shoved into the cavity. It is amazing roast chicken but nothing more scandelous. I think it is in the cookbook actually.
Masses of getting the job~ma, Sail!
Cooking is fun. And French food + wine with friends is delicious and fun, though 'spensive and not to be done regularly.
That's all my wine-addled mind has to say right now, because I failed to process the last 20 posts for some reason. Should go to bed.
{{{Cindy and Ben}}} All fingers crossed here, and my most powerful, patented nothing-serious ~ma on its way to you all.
Gentle hairpats and {{{hugs}}} to Susan. Hang in there.
Much job~ma to Sail, who deserves a raise! For more than a year, preferably.
That's all I've got. I feel like I was busy all day long, but there's not a hell of a lot checked off my to-do list, now that I look at it.
I ate sauteed mushrooms today and blame you, Gris. They were delicious though never made it into a fritatta due to the numminess.
I am glad that Cass and Deena have candles to make them happy.
{{{Deena}}} I am sorry about the psoriasis. Good luck with everything.
{{sj}} thanks, sweetie.
I think I'd better head for bed. Tomorrow is going to be a long day.
Yay, Deena hugs! Sleep well. Mwah!
I just want something good to happen.
Mary Balogh!
I'm not counting all the writing contacts I just made as good things yet, because it's entirely possible nothing will come of them. Which is probably a bit paranoid or gloomy of me, but that's kind of the mood I'm in.

This is blame I can accept.
I sauteƩ mushrooms about one out of ever three days, for one reason or another. Today, i discovered that one of the slightly-further-away-from-me supermarkets packages a mushroom variety pack with baby bellas, shitaakes, and some other non-button mushroom all together. It was an amazing discovery, and is one of the many reasons i'll be walking the extra 6-8 blocks to go to that supermarket again in the future.
My fruit salad and rice pudding look like they turned out great. The frittata LOOKS delicious, but i don't think I put enough salt in as cooking - oh well, can easily add afterwards. I think brunch will be a success, overall.
And now i'm gonna go to bed and dream about it.
