Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.
[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.
I know this will be hard if you host -- maybe even harder than having 20 people over when you were 10 months pregnant --Hey! That was an awesome Thanksgiving. I even saw bits of family later, I was so relaxed.
Crap, I think I am supposed to be figuring things out for Thanksgiving here. Um, I should do that.
{{{Aimée}}} Everyone else got there first, and everyone else is wise, so I'm just going to point upthread and nod. And I'm glad Joe's dad is there for you guys.
And, um, the entire state of California will leave the light on for you.
The ~ma, it is powerful. Today's job interview went swimmingly, and when I got back yesterday's place called to say they'll be emailing me an offer package by Monday.
But now I really like the today people too!
This is approximately 20 billion times better than the place that made me want to throw up and the place that didn't even want me after the person they wanted turned out to be made of fail.
I could really use some take-it-the-right-way ~ma. I just sent a long letter to one of the Board members. It's a very nice letter, but it wasn't without controversy.
She asked us to email her about how we were feeling, and I mostly feel that they made the right choice, but I'm nervous as hell about taking that step.
To put things in perspective, though, she's gotten a crapload of really nasty letters, so mine will probably be a lot nicer to read. I hope. t fret
ETA: WOOT! Go JZ!
My mom and I have decided to pick up some ready-made feastage from Whole Foods and go on a picnic, if the weather's nice, and if the weather doesn't co-operate we will eat at their house, but either way it will not be a Big Deal. I got a pretty good deal in the family lottery.
Tons of right-way~ma to you, Kristin.
JZ - that is just excellent!
Kristin - taking it the right~ma to you.
JZ!! Yay!! \\o/!
K, much taking-it-the-right-way~ma.
Also, I have no plans for T-Day, which is just ducky. M & I have been invited somewhere, and we may or may not go. The only thing I want is food: cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, and stuffing. I can make all of that. I'm perfectly content to stay home and mainline movies, or go out to a movie, or simply Not. Do. Anything.
I did mention I've apparently taken a breather from my usual sort of life, yes?
I just learned that my intimate T-day dinner of favorite uncle (and his girlfriend), boyfriend and housemate has expanded to include my best friend Karen, her 10-week-old, her three-year-old and her husband. I am very pleased with this, since the three-year-old provides constant entertainment. Only sad part is that Sloane doesn't know that one of my dogs has died...and she loved this dog. L-O-V-E-D it to the point that once when I was babysitting, I found Sloane curled up next to Sage on Sage's dog bed. And when it was time to go home, Sloane presented herself at my door, holding a leash, which was attached to Sage. I dunno, thought she could go stealth in stealing my dog.
It's going to be a sad conversation.
I am so ecstatic for JZ! So much to celebrate Sunday night! And I am hoping we'll still be celebrating Suzi's graduation and mom-health goodness.
J, goes without saying that you and M would be welcomed to have T-day with us, too. Lots of stuffing and mashed potatoes. And I made cranberry zinfandel that is fabulous if I do say so myself.
