Dawn ,'The Killer In Me'
[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.
This is a good place to be when there are troubles.
I just found out why I have resisted label guns all my life. I can't spell, but I hate the thought of labeling things ,spelled incorrectly , that someone else might see.
IOorganizationalN, DH and I went through a hugh chunk of paper that was hanging out in the living room/dinning area. Only one vaguely scary thing found. Amazing how many 'final offers' we have received from the same credit card and morgage companies.
Yay for the bug!
More hugs for Laura, because what happened is totally sucktastic. (And, you know, because she's so huggable.)
JZ, that dress rocks, and I love that entry! FWIW, Aimee gave me instructions when I was a wee eBay virgin, and told me never to bid until close to the wire, so that's probably what's happening. You have lovely, lovely dresses for sale!
Also? It was definitely the broccoli.
I'm gonna arrogantly assume I can speak for all the Bitches when I say that the whole laughing snatch-and-grab sucks monumentally and you don't need to apologize even a bit for going on and on about it, what with the suck and the loss of kid pictures and gift cards and all the other million goodies hidden in your purse.Feel free to arrogantly assume for me, JZ. You expressed it perfectly.
Christmas travel plans made. I will be heading home the evening of the 25th. Think my stepmom's gonna blow a gasket? Cause I think so. But I get in the 22nd and will be there for her birthday on the 23rd so they can stuff, I want to come home. I will already be boarding Kittenish for 10 days this month in two five-day stretches. So I want to come home.
And looking at JZ's dresses makes me want a waist for Christmas.
Amy, good to know, in both cases. (Thank God it wasn't the coffee.)
OMG, just activated the musical mobile on the playmat and Matilda is blissing out over it. t runs off with camera to document every vital second of this
I got a new mac through the university's store for faculty academic discounts. It was the best deal at the moment, and we have a PC already.
I was tempted by the macs, but every time I use my mom's, it drives me batty. I just can't seem to wrap my brain about their logic. It's a failing, I know. But since one of the reasons I'm shopping is because I'm giving up on Linux, I figured I should go with an OS that I kinda know and understand, even though I'd prefer not to go with the evil empire (hence the Linux attempt).
I forgot: hurray for normal breathing!!!!!! an dcool beans for lectureing again!
I liked the dress story.
and Cass - your family gives you enough trouble - you get to go home christmas day because I said so.
Laura - I don't have the words for how awful that is. So sorry you have to deal with all of this. What an asshole of an excuse for a person. I really hope they catch the effer, lock him up, and throw away the key. I echo your hope for a good samaritan finding the purse abandoned somewhere with contents intact.
I forgot about the bug's cool news too. Which is crazy, because I was thinking about it right up until I posted.
Yeah, vw, that's just fantastic!!
I really hope they catch the effer, lock him up, and throw away the key.
If he uses your social security number, it's a felony under federal law. Up to 5 years, or $250,000, or both.
Just to pass on something potentially useful I learned today.
After much trial and error, ND and I have found the best local Indian food. I just put in an order for take out and I am soooooo excited to pick it up and eat it. So excited that I'm practically drooling.
Oh, and speaking of drooling, my new dentist told me today that I have apparently started grinding my teeth rather badly at night and am causing damage...so she wants me to wear nightgear. I could cry. People, I hurt myself enough that Drew made not hurting myself "Rule #1"--do we really think wearing a hard metal thing on my head as I sleep is a good idea??
Also, am really freaked about not being able to sleep well with this contraption. Sleep is difficult enough for me. Also also, am totally feeling embarassed and dorky about it. This is my karmic payback for not having to have braces as a kid, isn't it.
Sigh.
