Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I can't even.
On the way home from school, the kids and I had a discussion which ended in me saying, "Look, I appreciate all three of you fly your freak flags high, but that's not normal, either."
Your kids are stoners, Cindy? And I thought Canadians were "Bad-L" liberal ...

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Wow. Turns out I loathe people today. At least stupid people, and lots of people are stupid. But I got out, got firelogs and even hauled one fifty pound box of them upstairs while leaving two in my trunk. And getting out was good even if I was annoyed at bad drivers, stupid walkers and basically everyone.
Still? I have firelogs, got out and am feeling a tiny bit better. And? Fire will be pretty.

Glad for the improvement, Cass. NSM for the stupid people.
I'm kinda starting to wish I had a fireplace.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We had a (gas) fireplace in our last place. Heaven.
Our little guest house, while cozy, is not the warmest place on earth. My normal evening loungewear these days is flannel pajamas with one of Jason's old sweatshirts (which has a picture of Eugene O'Neill and is HUGE on me) over them, plus fluffy socks and a down throw over my lap. Yeah, I'm a big ole vixen.

What is even happening?
Thanks, laga.
Your kids are stoners, Cindy? And I thought Canadians were "Bad-L" liberal ...Bite your tongue, almost Jossy-named one. They were just being weirdos about how their shoes are/are not tied. Chris got in a snit because I wouldn't retie his shoe (which he's capable of tying, btw) in the driveway, on the way into the house, where I knew he was going to remove the shoes. The shoe wasn't untied. The lace wasn't dragging, even. It just wasn't tight enough to be of his liking. I wasn't going to do it, and when he persisted in whinging about it, and asking why, I told him his obsession with the condition of his shoe laces wasn't normal.
Ben then tried to convince him to chill, and by telling Chris that he (Ben) walks around with his shoes untied, half the time (true). Julia then said that she never ties or unties her sneakers, she just slips in and out of them (also true). Then I let them have the freak line.

Robin, your evening get-up sounds a lot like mine. Sex-ay ladies, that's us.
Btw, if you and/or DH have interest, I can get $10 tickets to see Amy Tan reading at my school the evening of Feb. 6th. I need to reserve soon if I'm bringing guests, so let me know when you can.
This offer good for any localista--I can reserve up to 5 tickets for my guests. Kat and Lori wanted to go, but they'll be en route to Hawaii which, despite her brilliance, does beat out Tan.

OMG, any librarians or people skilled in finding journal articles about? I am in desperation!

I need a specific journal article. The cite:
Martin, J. R. (1991). The contradiction and challenge of the educated woman. Women's Studies Quarterly, XIX (1 & 2), 66-27.
I have been able to track down issue XX in 1992, but I can't find anything earlier than that!
