MM, I've been getting your prolific essays (you're making me feel like a slacker!), but I'm not going to have time to read them until tonight or tomorrow morning. Just so you know--not ignoring you. Just traveling.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

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…
this standard is the company coming over/has beena LOOOONG time standard. Not the everyday standard. The every day standard is much more laid back.
I have 4 standards (in rising order of cleanosity):
Fuck It, I'm PMSing/Moving Out/Hella Busy and I Don't Care (which is, I suspect, most people's "Normal")
Normal
Company's Coming - or - I'm Upset Over Something, So I'm Cleaning To Regain Control Over One Tiny Portion Of My Life
OMGWTF my mom's coming AIEEEEEEEEE!!!!! scrubscrubscrub

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I don't have a kid that will pick up everything she can reach , so things like the pile of tools by the garage door are vaguely annoying - not dangerous.
I think I'm gonna have to nap

Now tagless for your comfort.
Dill, baby.
I knew I liked you.
I'd love to visit Edinburgh someday.
I'm home with my new phone. I went with the BlackJack. It's very sexy. It's going to take forever for me to figure out how to use all the bells & whistles.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
My cleaning last night was "OMG I have the whole house to myself for 6 days! It'll stay clean if I just do it now. Then, neat picked up house for six. whole. days."
It's really hard to type on the laptop with puppy trying to crawl into lap.
Love the Shirley Bassey
And now, I nap.

cleaning standards:
1)chaotic - which happens when I am sick or we are in the middle of some big project. Hopefully the bathroom is clean
2) normal - there is probably something that needs to be picked up or cleaned - but there is room for people sit if they stop by and things like the bathroom and kitchen are clean ( even if there are a few dishes to be done)
3) dinner/over night guest. All areas are clean but our bedroom and maybe the computer room. At the same time.
4) house concert - Furniture has to be moved - so hidden dirt/dust is found. and thing that can sparkle must sparkle - because there will be someone I have never met before there. and some things are hidden - like expensive whiskey and some of the guitars.
Right now the house is way closer to 1 then 2. and the gap between 1 and 2 is very wide

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

(Mom had a friend whose m-i-l was named Shirley. She was very white gloves. So it's known as Shirleying here.)

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I just went to my (new job!) school's web site to look up someone's email address and they already have me listed as staff!!! Whee!!!!!! It's real! It says:
ChiKat, Speech/Drama, phone#, email
I'm gonna be a real teacher!!

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
In absolutely random news (we specialize in that here, right?) - I just realized K-Bug will be old enough to vote in the next presidential election.
Crap. How did that happen?
