Spike's Bitches 29: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.
Fabulous house news from Deena! Let's give her a few days to settle in and then visit en masse, bearing sophisticated adult beverages, fuzzy blankets, good books and a lot of glitter. It'll be fun!
House is clean and the laundry will be soon, but I must go out and buy a new ink cartridge or there will be no printing today and my project will languish. Since it's ridiculously cold by California standards, this seems like a most unsavory thing to do. I'd rather curl up in the sunny spot with Mishka and a good book.
The Magic Eraser will make you want to get stuff dirty just so that you can clean it.
SA - medievalism and feminism - Have you read - or ever heard of - Medieval Prostitution? I learned so much from that book, about the whole medieval culture, not only the place of women in it. For a interesting look at the development of the iconic Mary, try The Mary Myth, by Andrew Greeley. You have to get past his defensive first chapter, though. If you're actually interested in that past the assigned reading, which you may not be.
I am hyphen-happy today. - - - And over-caffeinated.
eta Steph, yes, that's exactly what I'm doing, except I last left the house Saturday morning.
The professor assigned the article because, well, she hated it too and wanted to share. *g*
Okay, I kinda love that philosophy. It's like linking everyone to the world's ugliest dog (may it rest in peace).
I'm not getting any less cranky. Maybe food will help. If not, maybe a nap.
Why, oh why did my sewing machine have to pick today to fuck up?
How frustrating, vw! Nothing worse than being stuck inside when you don't want to be, and not being able to enjoy the time by sewing just makes it that much worse. How is the health doing--is the imprisonment staying home recuperating helping any?
I totally want a magic eraser now. Do they make them big enough to just wipe the whole house?
is the imprisonment staying home recuperating helping any?
I think so. I mean, I still need my nebulizers, so it's not perfect, but it is better. Hopefully I'll be able to rejoin the world tomorrow.
Congrats Deena! May you and your family have many many many happy years there.
I too had a Sunshine Family.
I bought a Magic Eraser on a whim, and the DH has become seriously addicted, wandering around the house looking for things to clean.
In related news, today was Spring Cleaning day. Several loads of dishes, laundry, much stuff earmarked for disposal. Windows thrown open to let in the birdsong and spring breezes. I also managed to make a bunch of baby food (chicken "kiev" with broccoli, pancetta with spinach, carrot and lentil stew) and we walked to Don Corleone's Creperie for lunch.
Exhausted, but happy.

I really see my Mother's point on Barbie. And she wasn't as hard-line as my Aunt who was a real bitch about it (well, about most things, really). But the cookies was going too far, dammit. Suddenly she cares about my work ethic? I wanted the damn t-shirt.
