Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Seriously.
vw, the pirate snack that keeps coming to my mind is pretzel sticks as peg legs. Which is just kinda wrong.
At work (on time!) this morning for a meeting that I ended up being late to because I went to the wrong room for the meeting. Which was really being held on the opposite side of the school. Of course.
Now drinking coffee and reading the internets, mateys.

Aw, sj. I hate that your brain is so hard on you. Because I am sure that your guests had a wonderful time and had not the slightest inkling that anything was amiss.
Thanks. I hate my brain most of the time too. Right now I am trying to figure out if the ADs I am on are not working enough or if the seasonal change is really kicking my ass already.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
That is not a good state to be in, Ginger. Unfortunately, I canna think of any good fall songs except Autumn Leaves...with it's amazing downscale triiiillllllll. There. Any better?
Sox, you've had excellent advice here, I can do no better. I'm very sorry you're being put in this situation--not a good vacation, and you deserve one, without having to be the puck in play. Let your friend wrangle her mom.
sj, you did a good job, hon. Everybody had a good time. You did that, so you need to accept that credit, incorporate it into your bank of experience, and move on to plans for next time. I'm sorry about the energy level, but maybe positive spin can help energize you a little bit? Okay, that may be wishful thinking, but it was worth a shot.
Oh, look at that. My coffee mug's empty. There must be a leak...

There are always songs in my head. I just hate it when the needle gets stuck.

I'm voting for this. I know I'm already deep into hibernation mode. I've had to start making lists to make sure I get anything done around the condo.

Chatty!co-worker made pirate hats for us, thanks to Quark and tabloid-sized printer paper.
Soon there will be a picture.
Arrrr.

Hmmm, I think my comment may have come off differently than I intended.
I'm glad that Chatty co-worker is also crafty with pirate-themed accessories! Rather than just talking your face off.

No, it didn't. It's just that I forgot to use my sarcasm font.
D got his first 7th grade report card. All A's except for an 88 in AP Math. I would close the proud Auntie tag, but that doesn't seem to work.
