[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.

Daniel, just checking....you do realize when I say MAC, it's always, ALWAYS the makeup line, and never the computer?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Girlie, I distinctly remember burning you all the Lyle Lovett I had, lo these many years ago (possibly before you moved into your current abode). Wha' happened?

My wife has the brain worms. Lyle is right up on the shelf where he's supposed to be. I will lead her to him.

Excelllllllllent.

Heh. Now, the masturbating/growing a penis stuff actually makes more sense as an Erin-dream than would my brain choosing computers over makeup.

My dentist just called me, sick. Must re-schedule, which is boo, because, well, want teeth fixed! It's yay because it was scheduled for 11:30 today and I didn't sleep at all last night and must go housesit, let dogs out at noonish. Now I can go to the house and just crash out totally and just stagger out in 3 hours to let the dogs pee.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Thanks, sj. The reason I feel petty is that I have a pretty comfortable life: loving husband, wonderful kids, a home, decent pay for a job that I (mostly) like.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Hey, I think that was an actual warning on a Dark Angel story or something.

It was--I remember cut and pasting that part back to you.

Our wings are not tired.

I remember well the incredible stress over finding the right schools for my kids. There was some serious trial and error there too. It isn't petty; it's being a loving mom.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm already trying to figure out the best schools in our city so that when we buy a house we know where we want to look, and we don't even have kids yet.

I think it's hard to pick good schools a lot of places today. Most of my friends with kids live in KC and that's a nightmare. Really, no one wants to send their kids to a KCMO school, because the district at-large has been a complete clusterfuck for the last....um, 50 years? Seriously. I had a friend who moved this week to Olathe (a burb) largely for school selection reasons. Yeah, she's having another kid and they need more room, but they would haved stayed MUCH closer if her little girl wasn't starting kindergarten this year.

I used to do Americorps at the school her duaghter would have had to have gone to...and no way. NO way -- but what do you do? Pay a crazy amount for private school, IF you can get in -- or move to a better district?

I'm a teacher, and yes, I believe in bettering public education, but...I also get just saying this situation is just something I have to choose moving over.

Art Crawl!!!

Did any of you happen to catch L&O:CI last night? (Pre-school wait-list storyline.)

But I'm sure that no Buffista would take things THAT FAR.

(CI is unsatisfactory because they only show the investigation and never the trial.)

Ugh, see that's the thing. I knew that we were in a bad elementary district when we bought the house from my sibs, but hey, it was realistically our only chance at owning a home in LA. But yeah, my sister (the one w/o kids) has NO sympathy for me for that very reason. Ugh. I just think--I'm hoping that somewhere between K and 5th grade we find a decent school for the kids. It's just... I may lose my mind waiting it out.
