I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

[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.

Sparky, if your wedding involves southward travel, you are more than welcome to shower on Capitol Hill. I'd even puppy sit!

Thanks so much for the offer, bonny! We'd arranged for our neighbor to puppy sit -- she has a beagle named Darwin who tolerates our little one very well. The note she left made it sound like Sass behaved. Don't think I won't keep you in mind should we ever have a function in the Capitol Hill area! Our beagle hates to be alone, (which should not be confused with "left alone" should she be sleeping comfortably).

The water came back after we'd gone to bed on Saturday -- it was silly of me to wonder how we'd know when the water came back, because it sounded like a wave was hitting the house as the pipes filled.

The wedding was very sweet, and the bride looked so happy. She had a very boobalicious corset dress, which I think made the pastor blush.

Now I have dragged my tired self into work and am waiting for my coffee to cool. I have decided against changing out of my sneakers and into heels until I finish this cuppa.

Ugh. I hoped to be up earlier than this. This does not bode well for getting out of the house by 7am tomorrow.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Anyone here ever had to go back for an ultrasound after a mammogram?

Our snowfall from yesterday was about 9 inches. Twenty inches on the ground and it's still flurrying. I live in a snow globe.

I have, Cash, although I suppose coming from me that's not real reassuring. It's pretty common, particularly if you have "dense" breasts, and it's usually nothing.

My mom did. And it did turn out to be nothing.

Thanks, Ginger. It was my first, so in setting a baseline, they have nothing to compare it to. It's just a precaution and I'm not worried. It just means dragging the kids out to the doctor's office once more this week.

There is a snow emergency declared but it only covers parking or stopping on the streets. Nothing about not travelling. Since school is out because of parent/teacher conferences, I have to decide if I want to take the kids out to the gym. In all this snow.

They were cooped up all weekend and I think it would do them some good to get some play time in the gym's daycare.

I did, though fortunately for my peace of mind, they did it the same day. And it was nothing.

Well, be fair. If you're not allowed to park or stop, you really have no choice but to travel!

I am going to kill my local Y.

They *never* deduct the correct amount out of my checking account. I call every month. They say they won't charge me the next month to make up for it. They charge me again the next month. Right now, they owe me $143.75.

Well, I just checked my online banking, and of course, I've been charged the wrong amount again. BUT, they also deducted that amount TWICE. I'm going down there on Wednesday and having a SERIOUS chat with the membership manager. I do not have the time or the energy (or the money) for this type of hassle.

Grrrrrr...
