Spike's Bitches 43: Who am I kidding? I love to brag.
[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.
Ooh, thanks for the link, Hil!!
I'm trying to get some stuff done tonight--it feels so much later than 6:30, good grief! But I'm also hitting that "good lord, I've been dating someone and now I'm that awful person who never sees her friends" and also "I need to get out and so STUFF, rather than just hang out and watch movies and go to bars." Must find more interesting evening activities to go to--in DC I knew what was going on, I was plugged in, but I haven't been making the effort here. Sigh.
Ooh, I was already planning to watch the new Librarian movie and I didn't even know that there are going to be vampires.
me neither. and yet Judas as the first vampire is not a new legend to me....
I am so proud--I made brussels sprouts for the first time! And they came out OK! Go me!!
...somehow, though, when I bought food, I ended up with stuffing, cranberry sauce, and brussels sprouts. I should've bought, like, a chicken breast. Or some rotisserie. Or something. Oh well.
Also, brussels sprouts + bacon salt FTW

So, we're taking my great aunt back to florida. my mother's brilliant plan involves an eight hour round trip drive and a flight that doesn't leave until 4pm on saturday.
she calls tonight (third call of the day) and says "what's the plan for friday" I discover that she hasn't made hotel reservations because she "didn't realize how the reservations worked" (umm, you made them? we talked about them before?) Sh claims "you're the driver, you make the decision" So, I say "let's just drive back and stay in a hotel" Of course, the idea of me making the decision is bullshit, because she goes on about how if we don't stay with my great aunt her feelings will be hurt. WHY DIDN'T SHE JUST FUCKING SAY THAT?!!?!? Just say "hey, I think that we should plan to stay with Aunt B on Friday night" Don't pretend that there's an option.

Much to the dismay of my sister, it looks like my wee lil 8 yo niece will be buying herself a Nintendo DS. Anyone know of any good educational "games" for it? (I'd ask in the game thread, but I'm way too behind, and I figure a ton more parents are in here). She's got enough game-games, but we need to work on her reading comp level and math skills. I know, I'm evil Uncle, but hey! It takes a village to raise a kid, or something.
Omnis, there is a game called my word coach and there are a couple of brain age games. I'm not sure how good they are, but I have come across them when buying DS games for the nephew.
Where are you going in Florida, Vortex? Also, I honestly believe you would look fabulous in the orange jumpsuit, but no killing of the maternal one.
Woo! GC! Celebrate!
In stupid body news, I woke to an ouchy UTI. Always in the past I had a twinge of warning and drowned them before they happened, but no warning this time. Eating pineapple at the moment. Another mom picked up Brendon and took him to school for me because I didn't want to drive. Ouch.
