Told DH that I didn't want to do VD but he brought me Starbucks this morning. He never does that. Now I guess I gotta do something. Darn it.

Spike's Bitches 39: Cuppa Tea, Cuppa Tea, Almost Got Shagged, Cuppa Tea...
[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.
The good news is the part that needs replaced on our car is something simple and cheap--basically just a busted hose/tube that'll cost about $50.
The bad news is that the way it's configured on our car means it's hard to get at, so we could be looking at up to 8 hours and $800 of labor charges.

This is not helping with the "get out of debt" thing.
Happy Anniversary to Deena and Greg!!!
We exchanged Valentine's gifts last night, because Dave has a late meeting tonight, and I didn't want to wait to give him his gift. I got a fluffy hot pink robe and enough candy to keep me on a sugar high forever, including a huge bag of all green M&M's. Then, when I went to go to sleep there was a red rose on my pillow. This is our 4th Valentine's Day; I still find that to be so unbelievable.
The Buffista Hit Squad - when come bring spork
an awesome black retro cardigan with embroidered bowling pins on it.
Sweet!
I did not dress in my usual deep mourning, but I did punk way the hell out today. Seriously - I could go to a concert in these clothes. This job - not so bad sometimes.
I am eating chocolate on VD that my boyfriend gave me. Last week, when we went grocery shopping, he made sure to pick up some that he knows I like, when I would have walked right on past. I'm not sure if that is love or enabling.
But it sure tastes good.
when come bring spork
This has to be a thread title in the near future. Maybe for F2F.
They are having a bakesale at school today, so I had a red velvet cupcake for b'fast. Nom nom nom.
We should insist on sporks being supplied for the F2F hotel food.
Oh, man, poor vw.
And, Susan, grrr on your car. They're hateful, hateful creatures, and horrible money pits. If it weren't for the need to cross the Bay Bridge and go to places not easily public-transit-accessible, I think we'd be much better off financially rolling ours off a cliff and just taking cabs everywhere.
We're making and decorating sugar cookies tonight for VD, because it's cheap and easy and fun and we already have most of the ingredients at home. Also, we are too tired for anything more elaborate.
Last night Matilda was a sleep-sucking demon baby; she fell asleep in my arms on the couch after the 9th or 10th rewind-and-rewatch of the Flight of the Conchords hobbit video, then woke at 11 screaming and sobbing. I tried to shush her and rock her back into a coma, and at some point Hec took over and talked and back-rubbed her into tremendous drowsiness -- from which she yanked herself screaming and sobbing a good half-dozen times, until his knees couldn't take it any more and we brought her into the bed. Where she wriggled, hairpulled, pinched, punched and chattered until 2 a.m. At one point the exhaustion and her happy babbling violence were so awful that I had a horrid fit of giggles, which at least kept me from crying or defenestrating myself.
Hec may actually be worse off than me today. We may have to say to hell with the cookies tonight, even, and just give each other baby-free catnaps as our gift of love. Much needed, but far less awesome than a bowling-pin-embroidered retro cardigan.
