Spike's Bitches 31: We're Motivated Go-getters.
[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.
Cindy, that ain't right at all. Hope everything is ok and that this week is better.
Just to be clear, I meant that about here (at b.org). The news here has been a weird mix of awful and wonderful.
How great to have msbelle there helping you to settle in, vw. I read her posts in Natter about what she's getting rid of, or doing in her own home, and can tell she's the right person for the job.
I'm also gonna try to go out and introduce them one of these times I hear Upstairs!Neighbor come/go. I think that may help.
That's a great idea. Toto will start to learn Upstairs!Neighbor belongs there.
Congrats Robin with the elopment. Now you get to answer the eternal "When are you two going to get married?" questions with "already are."
Wheeeeee happy news, Robin!
I'm hoping to see Tom check in soon and tell us he's okay. Tom, I hope you are feeling better.
vw, glad things are going so well in your new place. Happy news!
Woke up after having a really bad and stressful dream. Called zee ex-BF (actually returned his call since I missed one last night) who answered the phone with, "
Jesus woman,
do you
ever
sleep?" Seemed sort of relieved that I actually had been asleep and was just up way too early. Then he made me smile and laugh so maybe I can go back to sleep now.
Also earwormed me by singing his way countryfied version of Metallica's "Enter Sandman."
Kittenish is miffed because her head is too big to fit in my glass and drink the half full cafe au lait I pulled out of the fridge. That was kinda funny.

Ah...gotcha. Clearly I hadn't had enough coffee yet!
read her posts in Natter about what she's getting rid of, or doing in her own home, and can tell she's the right person for the job.
She really is. We had some good laughs yesterday as we went through some of the boxes. She recommended that we set up a big box in the middle of the dining room to put stuff in that I decided I didn't really need. And, it's actually pretty full. So, got rid of some unnecessary stuff.
But, boy, do I own some silly stuff. I had this set of magnets that were just horrendous...little cutesy sayings on them with bunches of flowers and stuff. Boy, have I changed in the last four years! In lots of good ways, though. I'm glad I'm not still that person that needs cutsie little sayings to fulfill my day.
Some of the silly stuff I'm keeping...like my popcorn bowls [link] LOVE them. Hated to not have them with me the last four years, but there just wasn't room in Cambridge. Now they are proudly displayed on the baker's rack in my dining room. And all my fabulous dishes are displayed in the china cabinet. And the drawers are filled with table clothes and Christmas platters. It's great.
Edit: To be clear, I really love some of the stuff I haven't had access to in the last four years. And some of it I forgot about...One of the first boxes I opened was like Christmas. It had my gorgeous crystal coffee mugs that I adore. I had completely forgotten about them...actually, I thought I had sold them on ebay. But, in the same box were these HORRID big Kim Anderson cups. So, there's a dialectic.
Congratulations Robin and the WBH!!!
{{{Cindy}}} I hope your upcoming week is better.

Cass, I'm glad you slept. Is there any way you can hop on AIM for a minute?

I got those for my stepmom a few years ago. She's a popcorn lover too.
sj, yeah I can jump on.
Robin, how cool! What a nice way to usher in a birthday!
Tom, hope the pain goes away quickly and it's nothing major.
Strange as it may sound coming from me, I'm going to church this morning. Mainly to give my daughter moral support, but I'm curious, too. It's a Unitarian Universalist congregation and the church is the one I got married in, lo these many years ago. I'm interested in what kinds of things they talk about. Also, it's another way of getting out of my head and involved with others, so it could be a very good thing.
Congratulations Robin and WBH!
What an excellent thing to spring on your birthday! Very hobbity of you to give everyone else a present as you did.
JZ got to take a bath!
Not yet. Maybe this morning.
We're hoping to alleviate the boredom today, since we're having some guests.
Poor, Tom. If I don't hear from him soon I'm going to have to call.
Robin! So freakin' happy for you two.
