[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.

Good news - got an e-mail from HR

Bad news - saying that they should have the documentation ready tomorrow.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm sorry they are dragging this out, Suzi. I hope it ends up being good news when it eventually comes.

Not javachik

Anyone here rented a place in the Outer Banks? The DH and I are thinking of going down to Kitty Hawk in April. Anything I should I know about locations?

One of my best friends and her kiteboarding-fiend DH were there a few months ago. I could email her and ask where they stayed if you'd like. It'll take a day or two. She always has good referrals/used to be a travel planner (among other things) at her old company. Let me know.

Our wings are not tired.

Puppy!

Yeah, that's all I got.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I am SO fucked.

There's a Lush store opening on Friday in the mall that's literally across the street from my office.

Goodbye, debt reduction.

(We'll ignore how I totally didn't know it was happening until 5 minutes ago.)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Monsooooon!

Java Cat, if your friend has any tips, I'd love to hear them.

I do think Sass is dangerously cute, but I might be biased.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

One of my critique partners, in a dispute about a research question on Wellington's army by another group member, just basically accused me of being "too much influenced by Sharpe and his ilk."

I tore her a new one for suggesting I was too intellectually sloppy to do my own research, and listed three nonfiction sources, none of which were by Bernard Cornwell and two of which predate the Sharpe series, for my side of the argument. I then invited her to cite any sources contradicting mine, because I would like to fill in any gaps in my library! I probably overreacted, but, dammit, I research my ass off on this stuff!

I'm still quivering with anger. Deep breaths. Deep breaths.

Goodbye, debt reduction.

It'll be fine. Now that you know that it's right there, it wont be special anymore. You'll buy a bunch of stuff right off, then taper off.

I need some milk to go with my white chocolate chunk cookies

I need a better way to get both real food and vegetables into my diet. I am too lazy too cook. I was looking into those "go make dinners at a place in the suburbs" things, but although there are a few different varieties, they all are just the entree. So like, you can make lasagna, or pork tenderloin, you would still have to buy and make the veggies. I want to be able to easily/lazily make dinner, without having to worry about things going bad in my fridge. Hrmph. Help?

Also: Yay outer banks! We went there for Thanksgiving once, and it was lots of fun. Well, some of it was. The drama between half the people I was staying with? Not fun. But the place itself, much fun.
