It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

[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.

Plei, how is the Squeak?

Feeling better. I'm hoping she actually eats something today--she seemed happy enough with the toys when we dropped her off, but I anticipate a sad, wilted Lily when I get home.

Trust my rage

Oh, Plei, I hope she has a good day. No matter what, I'm sure seeing Mommy will perk her up.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Dear Co-Worker:

For Christmas, I would like it if you spoke to me about something that wasn't a problem or issue. I would like a conversation with you to revolve around something that isn't insinuated is a problem I created or a situation that is my fault. Yes, the conferences this week went well. Thanks for asking! Yes, I am certain that whatever I do with the credit card machine will end with us being laible to lawsuit. Thanks. You don't have to be nice or civil to me every day, but maybe once a week, you might say something to me that does not have the subtext of, "you're a dumb ass, Nora."

GOD.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

MM had to hide one of Emeline's Christmas packages from me cause I almost opened it.

We don;t know what family member it's from, but I want to OPEN IT NOW.

It's from American Girl.

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

Aimée! Set a good example!

What is even happening?

Aimée! Set a good example!
Yes, open it, to ensure her safety, and then re-wrap it, like any good mother would.

Aimee, what ita said (but I have to tell you that when I was getting stuff for my daughter from American Girl, Mom and I would always open every box, take the stuff out and squee over it - it was FUN!)

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

I vote for what Cindy said.

Do you think you'll be able to re-wrap, Aimee? Or will you want to keep it and play with it yourself?
