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.

great haircut Jilli - and the tea party shots are v. cool!

Anne - much health and improvement for your stepdad.

::flop::

currently organizing:

  • huge high-speed move (with real estate agent that is not so much with the math)
  • week-at-beach (with towing of all possible toddler items in the universe) ... including several days with Sparky & DH YAY YAY YAY, parents (yay), and several other days with Iris-godmother & godfather, purveyor of the Buffy Comeek YAY!
  • frantic clean-up of current house and garden and various bad drywall screw decisions.
  • oh, and yeah - work. That.
  • Plus finding a new assistant, as the current awesome person who works with me (superhero name: Sarcastica) is leaving at the end of the month to follow her boyfriend. Boo.

oh, and trying to figure out how the *(#$@# I caused a trainwreck on the third row of the first sweater I've started since Iris was born. And didn't notice until the 10th row. That too. Gronk. It may have been a KUI (knitting w/ wine in hand).

What is even happening?

Clearly, you need an extra long bendy straw.

There are a few more haircut pix there, too. No, I never, EVER look relaxed when Pete tries to take pictures of me. It's a thing. A thing I'd like to change, but I haven't managed it yet.

Jilli, you look lovely. Your haircut looks great on you. I never look relaxed when Scott takes my picture, either.

Pretty Jilli!

And didn't notice until the 10th row.

Who knew knitting habits were genetic? Also, must put "more wine" on beach shopping list.

it was the blasted cable row. gets me every time. it's a sweet yarn though - cascade/sierra. 80% cotton 20% wool. purchased from the yarn shop AFTER they fired me & pulled their website (not that they were paying me) for leaving town. Because I'm a good person. With sharp, pointy bamboo.

Hugs and sympathy for Fred Pete, Hubs, and Teddy.

~ma for Anne's stepfather.

Jilly, the hair is lovely - and I bet it's more comfortable. And I LOVE the necklace? pin? (pink skull and crossbones under the pink ribbon)

meara, that sounds like you've skipped the flirtage and gone on to ... well, whatever comes next.

Sox, good luck with your knitting!

Jilli's hair is teh awesome, as is Teh Jilli.

{{{Anne and family}}} Ugh. Ruptured appendix Not Good. Here's to no infection and quick recovery.

{{{Fred, Hubs, and Teddy}}} So hard and I am so sorry guys.

IMememeNews: I need to stop decorating and faux-shopping for a condo that I will not be owning anytime soon unless someone buys it for me. hint hint hint

Just kidding.

meara, rather than flirting I think you should point blank ask this woman to go out with you (to quote Jilli, "choose coffee") at a specific time and specific place. Flirting can be interpreted many ways, but "I'd love to see you. How about this Saturday at 4 at coffee!place?" requires her to answer a straightforward question.

Hivemind: does anyone have any recommendations for menswear for summer in a sticky climate? My husband needs some kind of summer suit and I'm not sure what fiber or weave to look for -- he's pretty tough on his clothes (pointy elbows and knees or something).

I broke the internets.

We were checking the couch cushions. Can I buy you a condo with $0.32?
