Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!  

[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.

Our wings are not tired.

Happy Birthday Maidengurl! May this year be about a billion times more fun than the last.

Perkin's flight is delayed about 1-1/2 hours. Boo. But even if she gets to Casa Holt at 11 tonight her body is gonna think it is only 8. Party!

6 hours of meetings in 6 months is about as much as I'd like.

Toodson needs a Blackberry, so she can post from meetings like ita.

I'm sorry for your and your mother's loss, Cass.

Um, depression in pregnancy and after is sort of a pet topic for me. In case you couldn't figure that out. I worry that many women don't get treated because they are so afraid of taking medication that will affect the child. The baby matters, a great deal, but mothers' sanity matters too.

Ugh. I hate me today.

That is all.

Yes, this. And depression makes it too easy to blame yourself anyway.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Six hour meeting? ::blinks:: Holy carp!

what I learned
Wow.

Not that I am actually planning on doing the pregnancy thing, but I very much agree with you.
Ugh. I hate me today.
No! Why?

--
I'm just ... just ... still really upset that my neicelet was sent to Vermont and I'm not even supposed to really talk to her about anything or know why this happened. And maybe I am railing against this because all of the other losses leave me no one to rail against but god or no one, depending on your beliefs.

No! Why?

There is no better way -- none better in all the world -- for me to hate myself than to go try on clothes. Specifically, lingerie. It's....seriously, I don't actually have words to explain how much I'm hating myself right now and I can't believe people aren't actively grossed out by me -- and they probably ARE and are just too nice to say "Excuse me, but at what point along your path to morbid obesity were you planning to STOP EATING?!?" -- and I can't believe, I mean, when people say "You look nice," to me, I can't believe they aren't completely full of shit and are just being nice because it's too cruel to make oinking sounds, and I can't accept that anyone would actually want to touch me at all, let alone without clothes on, and I'm just disgusted by myself but apparently not disgusted enough to actually DO anything about it.

And I really really REALLY don't want punctuation of any sort, because while I appreciate the thought behind it, I'm really hating myself and can't even handle anyone being nice to me right now.

t edit And -- god, I'm so self-centered to even whine about that, when other people have family members dying and legitimate issues and I can't get my fat ass to the gym and therefore must cry about it. God. Sorry. I really, really am.

Oh.

That.

I just got a bunch of pictures of myself sent to me. Right there with you. I looked at the person in those pictures and boggled, and not in a good way.

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

Cass, your people are -- and I'm saying this as gently as I possibly can -- bugfuck insane. Be there for the niecelet however and whenever you can. And in the mean time, I'm sorry for your own loss, which it sounds like the family isn't exactly supporting you through either. Hrrmph.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I need some decorating help.

I love this pattern. [link] I was thinking of taking napkins and matching cording and making some throw pillows for our sofa and love seat. And maybe a window valance or curtains out of the tablecloth.

Unfortunately, it doesn't match the art I already have in our living room. What sort of art should I look for? I want something kind of contemporary, but still traditional and not florals. I was thinking black and white prints of Paris.

Teppy, please don't be so mean to yourself. You don't deserve it, and I hate to see anyone treating one of my friends that way.
