Incidentally, I meant to ask before - what does A/IP (if I recall the initials properly) mean?
A/PI. Asian/Pacific Islander, I believe.
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yep. Asian/Pacific Islander. It's just really hard for be to believe we'd have seen that same reaction if she hadn't had brown skin.

Icing is 1 lb. of Trader Joe's chocolate melted and whisked with cream and butter.
Looks like a mudslide, tastes like brownies in chocolate sauce.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Oh, like that's a BAD thing.

But I figure those of us who hate the very idea of being perceived as lazy probably AREN'T lazy and are rarely/never viewed that way. Of course, I really DO procrastinate way too much, which sometimes has the same effect as laziness...
We could be the same person! I would say the exact same thing about worrying about lazy probably means no lazy...and yet.
I'm working hard on doing what it takes to feel better about how I spend my time...both using it more efficiently and being okay when I don't.
Process! It's always a process.
Thanks for the encouraging words. I really appreciate it.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Being perceived as lazy is a huge trigger for me.
Ha. that used to be a major trigger for me . not so much anymore - I realized I am not that ambitious - which isn't the same as lazy. I work hard - and do my best at almost everything I do - but i don't have any need to go higher , faster, or farther. When I do set goals, they are usually tangible and have some obvious benefit to me. I still get pinged by the word lazy - but it isn't the big word it used to be

move out and draw fire
My head hurts. In possibly related news, can you use table salt to rim margarita glasses? Or is kosher salt better?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I would go with kosher salt, Raq.
In other news, thanks for all the hugs and well wishes. We're still waiting to find out what the hell is going on, exactly, other than the basic fact that he's dying.

I'm at the hospital while GF and her mom visit her dad in the ICU. He seems to be doing okay. They are waiting for a room to open up to move him out of the ICU. Up goes the rollercoaster.

I'm having people over tonight for Dave's birthday, and for once I feel organized and on top of things. Brownies were baked last night. Pesto and dip were made this morning. Pomegrante martinis are all made up in a pitcher in the fridge. The veggies are chopped and ready to be roasted, and the fruit for dessert is all chopped up and in bowls as well. I'm probably forgetting something really important, but I don't think I am.
