I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History  

[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.

What is even happening?

I notice Lillian's a lot better about picking herself up and moving along than babies whose parents react with alarm any time they take a tumble.

Parental reaction is key with toddlers. Some parents never seem to figure it out. If the child is really hurt, he or she will make it clear before they ever even look for you. If he or she is mostly frightened and not so hurt, s/he'll look to see how you're reacting before s/he reacts. We used to (cheerfully) shout things like oh-oh, or woah, or safe! It usually brought on the giggles, instead of the sobs.

Good luck, sj. I can't wait until you find yourselves a nice, new place, where you can actually relax and feel at home, when you're at home. This has gone on so long.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Howdy! Miss me?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Thanks, Cindy. I really want to get this all done and settled so that we can have our notice to our landlord in the mail in plenty of time for them to receive it on the 15th. I just want this done so I can focus on the packing and moving thing.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Allieann, I am so sorry. {{{}}}

ImememeNews, Joe and our boxes just left. He's dropping them at the UPack depot in Pico Rivera. So sad to see that 10 years of our life didn't even fill a box truck.

sj! All of my apartment~ma to you.

smooches all the Bitches

Mi madre & I have been having fun - I dragged her around on Friday to show her off, we went up to Calistoga on Saturday (wherein we encountered a snake, a brown recluse spider, and scorpions - never stay at the Silver Rose), came back on Sunday and watched some sports, and then I started my new job yesterday (after handing off everything to my boss & recommending JZ as my replacement). The new job is sheer chaos right now - we just moved to our new offices yesterday, so everyone is much like a headless chicken. But it will be fun. As soon as the Allergies of DOOOOOM go away. YEs.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

juliana!

What is the new job like, besides chaos? Have you been back in the chair? Did your mom go home? Did y'all get over to Hec & JZ's? Where'd y'all go on Friday?

Could I ask anymore questions?
