God, d. Shitloads of -ma in her direction. Poor lady. And some -ma for you too, come to that.
Spike's Bitches 37: You take the killing for granted.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
{{{d and d's mom}}} ~ma for all of you.
TCG has jury duty today. I hope he doesn't end up being on a long case, because his work will really pile up and we wanted to maybe take a vacation in September or October.
Tea:
Congratulations to Thomash and his wife!

Congratuations to the Thomash family!
An email I got this morning made me think it was Wednesday, and I panicked because I wasn't ready for a Wednesday meeting and then I realized I could be ready if I just did x and y, and then I figured out it was Tuesday and now I'm depressed because tomorrow isn't Thursday.
In other words, I need coffee.
back now! (actually last night, but I didn't plug in for a bit) Day trips to Baltimore entirely possible. couldn't find good mac-friendly wifi in 30th street station though.
oh {{d}}! much ~ma to your mom.
who leaves a laptop in a library for an hour? or a few minutes? jeesh.
engagement rings (late to the table, I know): one pal and his GF have lived together for 8 years. Just got each other rings - no ceremony. We're planning a non-wedding reception now. For sometime in the next couple of years - this isn't a fast-moving thing.
DH wanted to give me a ring, and I'd worked for a jeweler all through college - Those guys were like my older brothers. (mostly I was a polisher. BTW, the sound that a 'spenisve gemstone ring makes when, while you're polishing it, it shoots out of your hands, hits the ceiling, then the floor, is pretty loud.) We were living in Baltimore by the time DH proposed (while I was sleeping, but that's off topic), but he phoned down to C'ville ahead of time and we drove down that weekend. They'd picked out four stones based on what we could afford (plus, apparently, a little jeweler's magic - we couldn't afford much at all) and put them out on a cloth, then handed me a jeweler's loop. Suprise! Engagement gemstone test. There were a couple big-ass rocks, but the two smallest ones were almost flawless. So I have a small stone that has a lot of community to it. Which I love. We drop buy to see the jeweler-boys a lot when we visit C'ville.
::pushes coffee beans through the internets to Sparky::
Sparky - you coming north soonish? We've found some nice trails and things. Plus the lush store...
you coming north soonish?
Still thinking I might drive up on Saturday after I get rid of the fellow who gave me my engagement ring. I need to play with Amtrak and Mapquest.
I just bought a dozen eggs. One of the guys who works here came through selling eggs from his chickens. I don't eat eggs all that often but I jumped on the chance for fresh eggs.
