'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
[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.
My plans, such as they were, are all preempted by my lack of sleep. I've decided that getting nothing done and napping are okay today. Tomorrow, I may drive a very long way just to buy a CD tower.
{{}} and ~ma to all who need them. DJ, so sorry about your husband's cousin. It's terrible.
Oh, oh.
{{{{Cindy}}}} Happiest of early birthdays to you, love.
{{{{DJ & Mr. DJ}}}} I'm so sorry. Much strength to you & Mr. DJ's family. The North Beach Spa is eagerly awaiting your arrival so that you may de-stress and so that I may give you many hugs in person.
Has anyone else ever had a disconnect with turning a certain age?
Given that I can never remember what age I am (unless it's divisible by 5), not really. However, 28 was a bitch. I remember that.
What are everyone's plans for the weekend?
Need to be getting dressed to go to a crawfish boil for the boy we had the birthday drink with last night. I was told to be ready by 2. Sure. That'll happen.
Tomorrow? Maybe Irish festival with L. Maybe bar for drinks with my football wife.
Given that I can never remember what age I am (unless it's divisible by 5)
Me too! I'm forever saying I'm 30, and then I remember that was last year. I can't even remember what I did (so there was probably drinking involved). Oh wait! There was a Saint's game! They won for me!
Looking forward to spa and hugs!
I can have one more smoke before getting into the shower. Right, Cindy?
After a quick threadsuck, all I have to say is -
I was hoping for inappropraite groping. Instead, I got the aisle seat and Vernor's.
This should be an Aimée tag, a t-shirt or her mantra...
ION, yeesh, my timing. The dessert place that we've been longing to go to... we went by it a few times before it opened (they didn't list an exact opening date on the website, though they did post an entire menu - bastards), then Christmas hit, then my deadlines. Finally, we have time to go and find the place not only closed but that the owner & head chef had stormed out and quit only 3 days previously.
Yeah. My timing to a tee.

{{{DJ & your Mr.}}}
I had total disconnect with 15, but that's probably normal. I missed 27-30. I think there was some good sex in there, and photos indicate I had a great body, but I was a few methods short of an object.
Off to drive down to the Temple of Poseidon at Sounio and watch the lunar eclipse! Wish me no car wrecks driving on country roads in the dark.
DJ, I am so sorry.
Has anyone else ever had a disconnect with turning a certain age?
Yes. This last one (38). I've been having a lot of "what the hell have I done with my life?" thoughts since then.
Disconnects? All the time, really, but the period from 20 to 26 seems especially bad. That's what comes from living in a small town where the only entertainment was boozing & roleplaying games.
so sorry DJ, and I hope he flies.
I can't remember how old I am. I mean if I think about it I remember I am 43, but it feels more and more like a number, and less like anything with signifigent meaning. In general , the older I get, the better I seem to deal with life. I still get anxious and worried, but I seem to face things On my terms better. Some things are going to give me sleepless nights- but I sort of know in advance what is going to happen and prepare for it better. I am still highly distressed by how sick I get when I get sick ( no chinese new year parade for me today) but I am slowly figureing out how to deal with it. My goal is to find my center by about age 60.
