'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.
Just back from Dinner Out, Night #2. This was the 52+26yo couple. Another embassy couple also, of which I know the husband but just met the wife tonight. She was the real revelation of the evening: She sounded exactly like Eddie Izzard. Sort of looked like him too, but wore less makeup. I kept expecting her to be funny.
New couple was nice and self-possessed and I liked them a lot. Restaurant was about $50/plate before drinks, but I wasn't paying. Mal spent the evening with his nanny, so I didn't have to apologize to any waiter for my child beaning him with a sippy cup.
Oh, the waiter? Bill Clinton and Michael Palin's love child.
((((vw)))) Breathe a little more.
Aimée, you want I should let you know the next time I hear about Cat-Stacking Guy and his friends doing an improv show? I know he lives...uh...somewhere LA-ish. He not only stacks cats, but he's one sick snarky painfully funny little bastard. You and Joe would probably like him much. Or possibly want to hit him with sticks. It's hard to say
JZ, just caught this. YES PLEASE!!
Belated $.02:
You know what helps? Having a going-away ritual.
Yes, this. Ours is "knock-knock" joke that goes:
Knock-knock
Who's there?
See-ya
See-ya who?
See-ya when I get back!
The bedtime version ends - See-ya in the morning!
DD added an enthusiastic "Ah-HOOO!" at the end that ends it with a smile. We do this EVERY day when I leave for work or shopping or whatever, and every bedtime. Works great.

Oh, dear.
Now, I haven't managed to get dressed today. Just decided it was a waste day, and stayed in my jammies.
So, went to walk Toto. Hot Upstairs!Neighbor was on the porch with Hot!Cousin and Hot!Friend. All single. And there's me, in my jammies and bra-less self. Couldn't even bring myself to ask Upstairs!Neighbor about Labor Day party, I was so embarrassed.
Someone remind me to get dressed before I go outside from now on.
juliana, insent.
juliana's Social Secretary wishes to inform you that there is a reply.
Also, I just snarfed down a LOT of nummy bridge mix. Mmmm, chocolate....
Hi, Shari. Cute idea. I have no kids so far, but I may file that away for future use.
In other news I had a sudden urge to plant irises in the planter box around the tree in our tree lawn. I'm not sure about it, as Daniel has tried growing root veggies in there. They always top out. But bosslady from whom I got the irises said they are hard to mess up. So we'll see.
I'm in bed with billytea, AIFG!
