Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?  

[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.

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

Would sheers look bad over the closet mirrors? Not cover up the mirror part enough?

I think it depends on your comfort level - maybe tack up a couple sheers and see how you like it? I used velvet because it was in our bedroom and I cannot stand having my reflection in my sightline if I'm trying to go to sleep. (Plus, bad feng shui!)

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Conversation with Boss:

Him: Offer on new apartment house was just accepted. I need you to shop for loans at blah blah blah mortgage lending value cakes. Try X and if that doesn't work, we'll try Y. [pause] I've never had anyone look for a loan for me before. This will be interesting.

Me: I've never looked for a loan before so yeah...interesting.

I don't suppose calling people and saying, "I can haz monies now?" is gonna cut it, huh?

Him: Bwhahahahahahahaha! Just do your best.

sj, when I was in college I draped my entire room in Indian print bedspreads hung on curtain rods - gave a nice feeling to the room and it was fairly easy. You could try sheers, although that might be even creepier - vaguely seen images moving around the room being worse than your own reflection.

The Indian prints sound lovely, but I don't think they would really match the rest of the apartment. I'll see what I can find. There's a great home outlet store in RI that always has interesting things, and Mom is dying for some shopping, since we haven't had any time to shop with the move.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I work for an engineering company. There is a guy a couple of cubes over from me who is on the phone having an "earth is flat" conversation. He seems to be in support of the idea. WTF?

Yeah, that sounds spooky.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hec, sorry about the loss--losing seasons are always a relief to have over.

Hey! We had a winning season. 9-6 regular season, and a very respectable 2-2 showing in the playoffs.

It's just the playoff schedule was brutal with games every other day, and Emmett's tournament schedule is packed for the next couple weeks.

It just gets to be a grind towards the end.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Ooch -- I just checked Jess's Twitter page [link] -- the doctors are thinking 4 a.m.? Poor noodles, all of them! Man, I hope she's able to get some rest between now and then. Even if she doesn't actually sleep, just slounging for a while will help.

Oops! Sorry! That is respectable. I think I just register the posted losses in my head because I know the feeling of disappointment so well (having spent four seasons on a sucktastic softball team). The grind is a PITA, after awhile.

Oops! Sorry!

De nada. Actually our team was fine with the loss. We surprised ourselves by winning on Sunday with a lot of our less stellar players having stellar games. So it was just gravy to move on one step deeper.

After the game Emmett and Arlo played on the field with Arlo's little brother Finn for about an hour. They pitched a tennis ball to him, and little Finn (who just finished his first single A season) whacked it into the field and ran around the bases and they timed their throws to home so that he'd just barely get in past the sweep tag.
