I'm right there with you.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

[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.

We need to make a ginormous mix CD -- and then have a ritual stomping/burning ceremony.

Rather than the Velveteen Rabbit, I seem to have a Velveteen Cat, except he's already Real--I think. He breathes and meows and follows me around, but he's also wearing off his fur in patches and he looks Very Loved.

Once, while we were in B&N or Borders, Pete found a gorgeously illustrated kid's book with a very cute bunny on the cover. He showed it to me, and then became very alarmed when I started tearing up.
"What?! It's a cute bunny! I thought you'd like to see it."
"It's the Velveteen Rabbit! It's the saddest book in the universe! Haven't you ever read it?"
"No."
I tried to explain the story to him, and he had me stop because I was about to burst into tears.

I have been using "good enough" to get me through my school panic this time around, with the occasional, "not good enough but at least it is done". I will be using "good enough" for dinner tonight, because there is no way it will be perfect.
