Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.  

[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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Giggle

Seconded. Last night as I was telling the shuttle driver where my apartment was, I got to say "just pull over behind the black ca...by the deer." That was kind of cool.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Best wishes, Susan. Take the time to do what's best for you. And hurry back when you're ready.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

So Graco rocks my world. Again.

I called them to get a replacement tray for the highchair. They are sending one.

For free.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Right now it's waiting until I get a job. The way our insurance is structured, it pays 60% of the costs of most counseling-type treatments, and the stress of putting the remaining 40% onto our gradually escalating credit card debt feels like it'd make my anxiety worse rather than better.

Yeah, that's the exact scenario that drove me out of therapy, too.

Which reminds me, I need to call my doctor back. You know, when a patient calls to say they need to make a change in their AD medications, a call back in less that - let me tot it up - 10 days might be appreciated. It's a good thing I'm not actually in any real crisis.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

that's why I'm not seeking it to (drumroll please) deal with my deeply-rooted anxiety about... money.

It's a horrid little twist, isn't it? Almost O Henry-ish, but with a nasty dash of grindingly mundane to leave an extra-bad taste.

I hope both of you can find the help you need, in a form you can afford. I wish it weren't so hard to find that combination (but that's a rant I've gone on too many times already).

I got a flu shot yesterday. My arm still hurts. Word to the wise--relax your arm as much as possible when the needle goes in.

Our wings are not tired.

So Graco rocks my world. Again.

Ages ago my Graco swing stopped swinging and they replaced it. They do indeed rock.

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

It's a horrid little twist, isn't it? Almost O Henry-ish, but with a nasty dash of grindingly mundane to leave an extra-bad taste.

I KNOW!

So I'm finding new ways to cope that do not involve shopping. Or window shopping. Or dreaming of shopping. Or shoes.

I'm thinking decluttering my house will be my new coping thing. I could do that forever!

Because books.

So I'm finding new ways to cope that do not involve shopping. Or window shopping. Or dreaming of shopping. Or shoes.

Isn't it awful? My first response to stress today was, "What do I need at Target?"

I mean, that's not even *fun* shopping. And yet, the idea of buying toothpaste and baby wipes (and okay, possibly a paperback and some cheap earrings) was so very comforting.

OK. Ducking out. Back eventually.
