Spike's Bitches 40: Buckle Up, Kids! Daddy's Puttin' the Hammer Down.
[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 wanna meet my kid!
How wonderful.
so your attitudes towards life are the big factor.
How true.
I worked with a woman today who is endeavoring to shift the lifelong habit of expecting a negative outcome...as a means of protection through preemptive pain...in favor of realizing that she can handle anything that comes along. It seems that simply opting for a positive outcome skips a step and seems un-doable. But she could embrace the idea of positively dealing with adversity.
She's been able to do this already in her non-intimate relationships...but is resisting it with her SO.
Sometimes it makes me sad that we put so much significance on our intimate relationships that we can squeeze the life right out of them.
Why shouldn't the person you hold dearest get MORE of a break than anyone else? Why is it that we so often hand that person more of a BURDEN than we would anyone else?

yup
Ok. I've paid bills, balanced my checkbook, figured out my budget for the rest of the month, made a grocery list, filled out some paperwork that needs to be mailed (and found and copied all of the documentation that goes with it), attended classes, made advising appointments on campus, and made arrangements to be interviewed for an informational video next week.
Do we think that's enough productive procrastination (well, going to class wasn't really procrastination) to make my work on my thesis really effective, or do I need to do a few more things before attacking the thesis? (I do have a complete draft, by the way. I only have fairly minor changes to make, and I've still got 5 days, 22 hours, 7 minutes and 10 seconds before it's due!)
Morning(ish) everyone. Thanks for your kind words earlier. I'm trying not to feel too bummed about the England thing.
Aimee, I'm sorry your boss so clearly has
his
priorities so screwed up.
GC, I'm so excited for you and GF!
vw, the pictures are beautiful, and you look so happy!
{{lisah}} Sorry you're having a rough day, hon.
Aimee, I'm sorry your boss so clearly has his priorities so screwed up.
Yeah. If Aimee is that important to him, he should be treating her as a valued employee that he wants to keep....

Too true.
ION, I'm smiling and having heart-wibbles due to GC and GF.
I saw my brother and wife and new baby in the hospital this morning. It was very cute to see my very big brother trying to put this tiny diaper on the baby. He actually did drop her a bit and then caught her just fine. Anyway, he was so tender with her and it was so cool to see that.
Cash, if you are around, how far is Stevens Point from the Twin Cities? I'm thinking it's too far to visit, but I thought I'd ask.

About four hours, I think....
I just got done de-boning a truly yummy turkey I roasted this morning. There is something so primal and satisfying about doing that.
Plus, the pot of soup I'm making along with it smells fantastic.
PLUS, there is Bartleby's earnest, "Can you see me over here on my spot being good? This is some world class 'good' going on over here. First rate stuff. And I say this, not so much because the goodness that is me is worthy of note, but that it is goodness worthy of reward."
I swear, if he had actual eyebrows, he'd be waggling them at me.
