Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[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.
Champagne in a can. Found Sofia today and picked one up. It's ... clever and the "extendo and then bendo" straw is seriously nifty but the wine is too sweet for my tastes. Not bad wine, but not my thing. Still clever though. Glad it makes Laga happy.
I bit, and eschewed in bra form, the bullet today and bought new mentionables. Now I get to run through my lingerie drawers and toss all of the pokey underwires and bits that have lived a full and uplifting life away.
Also Bath and Body Works was having a killer sale and I found an Orange Flower perfume that smells like actual orange blossoms for $12. Also Mimosa which smells like mimosa and also recalls acacia blossoms.
Cass is a happy damn girlie girl tonight. Even if fizzy wine in a pink can wasn't a total success.
My friend's husband taught their daughter to respond with, "Crackhead." to anything his dad said.
Your daughter's, "Oh ... *shit*!" in the hospitality suite was pretty good too.
Now to go back and read all about everyone else's day.
Cass, does that Orange Blossom have Honey in it too? One of my clients was talking about that today and just said hers was from a department store.
My nephew, at my college graduation where I was not there to hear but got mom's retelling, uttered "Oh, FUT". I think he was two?
Sorry about the homeless man's unappreciative comments of your attire, JZ.
Am crampy and cranky. Feh. I think I will be off to purchase new heating pad.
I'm sorry JZ, but I had to share your story with Brendon and he just laughed and laughed too. We suck.
Dear Tep and Aimée:
You? SUCK.
Love,
The Homeless Woman In Houndstooth
All my spare change is yours, baby.
Words cannot express how profoundly tomato soup is not your color.
Egad! Well, fair trade then.
I hope Hec didn't wear the tomato-soup mock turtleneck to work today....
And on the clothing bargaining, let me just say: because The Boy
is a cross-dresser, I have twice as much
clothing to raise my eyebrows at. Fortunately (for me), he is so skinny that he can never steal my clothes.

This one doesn't. It's by Henri Bendel and is the Orange Flower. I also picked up Rare Mimosa. Price was $48 but 75% off. Web is showing me anything from the $48 to $250 for this. For $12, I might go back and pick up a spare...
But I have a few body products that are scented with Orange Blossom and Honey. No perfumes though. Now I am intrigued...
My sister just called me looking for a divorce attorney where she lives. Brat waited pretty far into the conversation to finally tell me it wasn't for her... I just e'ed her info though. I got an aunt in the biz...
Where did I miss that there is champagne in a CAN????
Laga was drinking Sofia (ina can!) the other night. There was the beginnings of discussion and then we devolved into snark and Dick in a Box callbacks. So pretty much your average night in Bitches.
Sofia's a single serve, also available in real and actual full bottles, from Coppola. They are marketing for a club drink and resort poolsides. Comes with a nifty little straw attached. [eta: Not that I am quoting from that article, just couldn't decide which part to make linky. So I made it all linky. I'm capricious.]
Cass, use it for making Champange Cocktails, but skip the step with the sugar cube, and just put a dash of bitters in.
I heart the stuff, but admit it's mostly the concept.
YAY, GUD!
Dude, I'd JUST got my computer issues sorted tonight when the fire alarm went off, so I'm home now. Sigh.
NEED. Am depressed, need Plei pictures to cheer me up! (Would also take Dean in my bed in a pinch. IJS.)
Mmm... Dean.
Maybe this weekend, on account of YARGH, WORK! with a side of YARGH, NIGHT TERRORS on Lily's part.
Cash, have you already tried various PT type exercises? (Pilates, for example, was originally PT, and if you can find a PT place that does it, really might help. Maybe. I hope.)
Any characters left worth saving? Where would you put them on another show?
As PC metions, Taylor, Taylor, Taylor, who has redeemed Ryan, and who should be on a show where it's The Big Gay Adventures of Taylor and Summer, just for me.

I might have seen some of that. I turn into a pumpkin at midnight on account of my kids rising at the ass crack of dawn.

Duly noted! Like a juice box for mommies. Mmmm....

I have a yoga place but haven't taken a class in ages. I should look into that. I took six weeks of three days a week PT and it helped me in so much as they just showed me little exercises to do at home then sent me home to do them. Which...I...uh...well...you get the picture. I'm a lazy ass and need to put this as a top priority--and that most likely means leaving the house, and getting serious about it.
