Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Happy Birthday, Jilli!

Having a baby shrinks you.

At least, it feels like it.

I have this weird vertigo every time I think back to how BIG my mother seemed and then realize that I'm about the same size that she used to be. And I feel about the same size I've always been. So for me, having a baby has had the strange effect of shrinking MY MOTHER.

Well maybe you should go and you can all talk smack about your cow-orker.

In other news, I still HATE HATE HATE eyedrops. Even though I've been using them 4x a day for a week.

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

You should go, Nora.

It's easier to get the drops in if you quit rolling your eyes.

Silence means security silence means approval

Since Susan is at work and pretty web-less right now, I'll be handling the Annabel pictureness today.

Practicing being a couch potato

About an hour after the second one was taken, I caught her eating a packet of Jack In The Box buttermilk ranch sauce. She was trying to suck it out of the packet like a vampire, but it got all over her shirt and hands and face and several pieces of furniture. It was fuh-nee.

Happy Birthday Jilli!

I had actual hot water in my shower today!

Want a *really* good read? I thought a lot of the Bitches might be intrigued by this article.

Tease: "A Nation of Wimps"

A nation of wimps: parents are going to ludicrous lengths to take the lumps and bumps and bumps out of life for their children. However well-intentioned, parental hyperconcern and microscrunity have the net effect of making kids more fragile. That may be why the young are breaking down in record numbers
