You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I sure hope I'm not up for the day, though, otherwise this is going to be a very long day.

YIKES! Very long. I feel wide awake, too. But I'll most likely be trying to get a nap in before the boy wakes up around 7 ish (I hope).

I'm car shopping online right now. I've gotten some very interesting replies to my requests for dealer quotes via email. I can just tell the personalities of the sales people who handle the internet sales. It'll be nice to walk into the dealerships next week for a test drive armed with a pre-approved loan and a starting quote well as a little personal insight into the sales person.

Oh, that is cool, Cashmere. (not the wide awake part...the personality of the salesmen)

I usually don't enjoy car shopping, but I read this yesterday and feel a bit more empowered. Those people better suck up to me big time if they want me to buy their vehicles.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Oh, good. I didn't sleep ALL night.

Poor WS!

ION, I just ordered the binding spirals for the cookbooks. So exciting! Gotta love the late-night (or early morning) shopping!

I'm really looking forward to seeing the cookbook! Go vw!

Is it just the weirdness of the hour and sleep deprivation that makes me start wondering if - with 3+ years of actual classes, and 6 years of work in my chosen field including some supervisory experience - I could find some "online university" to get a "life experience" based degree at?

ETA: Yeah, I know the thing is possible. The real question is, how distasteful would it be?

ETA2: It's 4:40 my time, and I've been awake for an hour.

Another thing I am pondering is, should I buy a bunch of raw crystals and semi-precious stones off Ebay or wherever, make 'em into jewelry, and try to sell them.

ETA: Considering I just bought a flat of pint jars the other week with a view to giving homemade skin cream to everyone I know for Christmas, and now have lost my nerve due to the utter lack of emulsification of the last batch I made for myself and Daniel (OK, so aloe JUICE really can't be substituted for aloe GEL) - I dunno if I have the confidence to actually do this. Not to mention all the other neglected projects I have.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

WS, can you not get some aloe gel and try again before you give up? I think homemade gifts are always lovely.

I have slept rather poorly, dreaming of holding red-tailed hawks and seeing a lion and holding his poor 2 legged cub in my hand and participating in a period piece movie or something that required costumes. All because it's snowing and I'm not sure whether we are going to go in or call it off, even though I'm pretty sure we'll just call it off since it's supposed to snow the heaviest this morning when are appointments are. Meanwhile I am awake and not sure I'll be able to go back to sleep.

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

Hey--other people!

I need to be sleep deprived for an EEG today, and, well, so far I'm just grumpy. EEG's not till noon. This should be fun.

Your dreams sound interesting, d.
