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.

Hotdish on a stick offered at Olmsted fair
Associated Press
ROCHESTER, Minn. — Anybody can put a hot dog on a stick. But at the Olmsted County Fair in Rochester, you can get hotdish on a stick.
It's pork and beef meatballs and tater tots, skewered and hand-dipped in a breaded batter and served with a cup of creamy mushroom sauce for dipping.
The dish won the Taster's Choice award at a street fair in Fargo.
The idea comes from Renae Juno of Owatonna. And she's teaming up with Charlie Connelly and his family to make them. They're headed to the Minnesota State Fair, with plans to have 40,000 hotdishes-on-a-stick ready to go.
Well, "infuriated" would be an exaggeration. But putting a math teacher and someone who doesn't believe in math in the same room isn't always a good idea.
Any more blood where there shouldn't be?
This was from a little while ago, but no, Raq...no more blood, which is good. His poop is still pretty soft, but I think it's just stress.
Just met my actual landlord. She is very nice, and they're little girl (about 10 months) is precious. They're showing the 1st floor apartment, which is actually kind of nice. I wasn't thrilled about the girls down there. They're kind of snippy. Hopefully New!Neighbor will be good.
Congratulations Robin and WBH! I'm so happy for both of you.
Tom, I'm sending ultrasonic waves to crush that kidney stone into a bajillion little pieces. In the meantime, take all the morphine they'll give you.
Jen, I thought of you, on Friday I got my pelvic exam
Heh. How much do I love that my friends think of me when they're getting a pelvic exam? Lots and lots and lots. And three cheers for anatomic correctness!
It is so freaking beautiful out right now. I was having my coffee this morning on my balcony and two hawks were doing long leisurely floats in circles right above my head. At one point they were so close I could see facial features. (Er, what do you call a bird's face, anyway?) It was lovely.

I can't tell if I am just terribly hungry or if this actually sounds intriguing.
I think I need a nap soon too. But first I am waiting for the rice to finish so I can throw together some casserole. I suspect at least one portion will be eaten quickly before I can even brown it, cause hungry hungry me.

It really is. I just got home from dropping msbelle at the bus station, and I walked a bunch of the way home...ok, not really, but I did walk part of it. I was even pleasant to a poor international guy that was totally lost in Boston. Had him follow me to Downtown Crossing to get him back on track.
Just talked to someone interested in the couch. They're on their way to come look at it. Here's to hoping they like it and take it away.
My landlord was actually surprised at how normal-sized it was. He's not upset at all about it being on the porch, which pleased me greatly. He said that based on my message he was expecting it to be much bigger.
ION...
Jen, just read your Beep Me post and thought, "Oh, yeah, she'll have to be back for school to start on the 5th." Only, you won't! You lucky girl!
{Sending couch sales vibes to VW.}
Yes, no more school for me!
Of course, I'm working three 12-hour shifts on the 28th, 29th, and 30th, spending the 31st through the 4th in SF, and working again on the 5th. I am going to be totally worthless on the 6th.

Dear interested person - You've been looking for this particular couch your whole life. It is your OTC and you must have it. Pay the lovely vw whatever she asks for it and haul it away from the porch. KTHXBYE!
OMGWTF! So much trauma and drama and excitement going on with the 'ffistas. Thank effing goodness that Tom is home from the ER, that JZ is possibly getting to go home tonight and a big WHEEEEEE for Birthday Girl and also newly married Robin!
Phew. This place is bad for my blood pressure. If I had high blood pressure. Which I don't. So not actually bad, I suppose.
I guess that means I get to stick around.
