Floating in and out. Killing time 'till my wife finishes her video game so we can go drink wine and watch The Avengers. (Original, not the awful movie.)
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

[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.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Because books.

Em *did* seem a teeny bit hungry. Must be something in those green markers.
while the entire southern half of the state would be under watches until 11pm, we should be safe upstairs. This is good, as Harvey was expressing himself loudly about his feeling of claustrophobia.
Eeesh. That's no way to spend an evening. Glad you'll be okay.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Andi, you're my mother when it comes to storms. She'd shepherd us all down to the basement with blankets and flashlights whenever we heard tornado sirens. I doubt if cats are much more fun than kids in that situation. I'm glad you're ok and are now upstairs.
Aimee, BWAHAHAHAHA. It's only funny because it's not me. I'm re-reading Girlfriend's Guide to Toddlers for reassurance at the moment. Some nights Owen just sweeps his entire plate off the table and screams and cries. Others, he scarfs everything on his plate.
FTR, Van's organic, whole grain, blueberry waffles are THE SHIT. Anymore we eat them just straight out of the toaster with no syrup or anything.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I'm thinking, with kids and enough batteries for the flash lights, you can take turns telling freaky stories and/or singing silly songs. I did read aloud from my book for a while, but they weren't nearly as interested in finding out who da moiderer was, as you might expect.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Hello my Bitches! I've been traveling to the boonies and have missed you all. I'm home now and have sweet, sweet internet.
I had to skip a lot, but I did see that Emily got a job. Yay!!! And, {{JZ & Hec}} I'm sorry that bedrest has been extended. I'd be bugfuck nutty by now.
Hugs to you all whether you've asked for them or not. Unless you don't like being hugged. Then, um, just feel the waves of hugginess coming at you without actually being hugged.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Welcome back, ChiKat!

All is well that ends in pizza.

move out and draw fire
Please, for the love of all that's holy, STOP CHEWING ON THE REMOTE. It's the third one we've had due to waterlogging from you.
All our remotes (now down to 2, thanks to the power of the universal) are kept in the little plastic baggies they come in, taped shut. Or wrapped in plastic wrap.
This has been the practice since long before we wanted children, and may or may not have anything to do with me being a spazz and knocking over drinks or candles...but I bet it would help.

Great idea, Raq. Our dog has already added many unwanted toothmarks to our TiVo remote.
Hey, Hec, I am getting my hair cut and colored tomorrow. I usally color it myself with cheap drugstore stuff, but the week of daily ocean/pool/hot sun exposure in Mexico really destroyed my nice rich red. Someone else washing and coloring my hair--oh, the luxury!
