River ,'Objects In Space'
[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.
Lucy has a costume this year, but by accident - something I bought that was way too small for its intended purpose, i.e., me, but works perfectly for her.
Her past costumes, when I've gotten the urge, have been minimalist. One year I attached a barrel of monkeys to her collar. She was a St. Bernard!
vw, it's adorkable, but you could go out for a nice dinner for $26.00 or buy your mom a spontaneous I-love-you present, or get yourself fresh flowers for a few weeks, or a couple of good bottles of wine, or buy a DVD you've really been wanting. It's probably 1/2 to 1/3 of the cost of one of your text books. It's groceries for a couple of days. It's new base, blush, and mascara. It's new shampoo, conditioner, gel, spray, and a new brush. It's cheap lunch out for five days. It's a great amount to put in the kettle of a Salvation Army bell ringer. It's...even enough that I'll stop now.
Oooooo...wine! That's what I've been missing! Sorry Toto. No costume this year. Mama needs wine! :)
Who started the rule that says when my brother looks over my shoulder while I'm typing, I'm ogling celebrities? I mean, as far as I know, it's still constitutionally protected, and I don't really care what my brother thinks, but it is kind of credibility-undermining.
Thanks, everyone for the birthday wishes!
And Cindy, you KNOW that picture of JD with his hands in his britches slays me every time. The other ones were also very pretty.
C took me out to lunch today with the kids and they were so well behaved. And we got over-fresh chocolate chip cookies for dessert.
My birthday has been perfect.
Jars, good luck becoming one of us Smug Marrieds!
need to make sense
(tries to responsd to what was actually posted)
And Cindy, you KNOW that picture of JD with his hands in his britches slays me every time.Yeah, that's the pretty nearly universal response to it.
The other ones were also very pretty.I tried to find a shirtless Spike picture, but I think I O.D.ed on them with you and genrefan, back in the day. The Shape magazine one is a little too too, and too many of the others were fan art and looked it.

Great! You deserve it. The Beatles Birthday was playing on my radio, the first time I responded (but now it's Bowie's Golden Years, which is also sort of apropos).
Warning - work rant approaching.
You would like me to calculate percentages based on the data you have? You can't work a calculator? Never mind that a screw up at corporate has me a full day behind schedule on a tight month. Never mind that our admin assistant is on vacation all month so the stuff she was doing to help me while my assistant has been out since last December falls back on me and I'm also expected to help guide the gal who is covering for said admin assistant. Never mind that I'm preparing 7 invoices this month instead of the usual 2 and that the usual 2 are more than double our usual monthly volume. Oh, AND you want me to give you updates on the A's/Tigers game when that starts?!?!?
Oy.
Oh, I'm so glad Cashmere's having a good day! Yay for good birthdays!

ION, HOLY SHIT! I have been asked to be interviewed and speak in front of a Harvard Medical School class (150 students) next week on DBT--the therapy I do. I'm just floored. Of all the DBT patients at MGH, they want me. Or, at least, that's what they told me. Hee!
What am I gonna wear???
A straight jacket!
