Spike ,'Sleeper'
[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.

No one wants to go to the last night of the LA County Fair with me (no one close enough to actually leave in the next half hour, anyway). Pout. I'm debating whether I should go alone or just call it a wash.
Is my love of fairs that odd? Maybe it's just a New England thing. Fall for me means harvest fairs, and I miss them.
We wanted you here for the FSF. Fairs are wonderful. Until it becomes PEOPLE, PEOPLE, PEOPLE.
I am jealous of people who can go to the gym. The place I used to take and teach jiujitsu is the Y. They offer daycare while you work out. Except during the jiujitsu classtimes.
My theory is that they had to limit the childcare hours for some reason, so they limited them during a class that mommies don't take.
Ass 'em in the ear.

Stoopid work.
Suzi, how's your mom doing?
Raq, do you have a Lifetime Fitness anywhere nearby? I highly recommend them for their excellent childcare--great hours and service.

I second this recommendation. I SO wish we had one nearby. I miss having my Lifetime Fitness right down the street.
Home. Worked at the office a half day, then went to the new!house and saw DH and awesome Hired Carpenter Dude Friend finish putting in a glass block window in the kitchen, which looks great. My job was replacing old crappy 70's doorknobs with inexpensive-but-nice brushed nickel door handles. These here: [link]

Thanks hon. I decided to come to the fair alone, because why not? I don't think I'm ever going to find my car again.
Anne, I'm so sorry for your loss and the family craziness that's going on.
I had a strangely lazy, yet productive, day. I made two black faux-fur stoles/collars to wear with little jackets (one lined in black silk brocade, one lined in pink&black striped satin), picked apples (in the pouring rain, from the tree in my yard, and they have been sent home with my friend who loves to make jam and applesauce), and made a huge amount of rose cordial (again, with my friend the canning and latke fairy). I'm trying to decide if I want to make another fur collar after dinner.
Just talked with mom. She continues to heal. She finally got them to give her real food and she said she had a great lunch and a decent dinner. She also did 4 laps around the unit, toting her IV pole and other medical machinery. All good news.
She is hoping they will spring her Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm planning on going back up tomorrow night so I will have the get away car at the ready.
I REALLY appreciate everyone's good wishes and support. It means a bunch. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
