Oh, poor JZ! Poor Matilda! Let me pass this nice cherry vodka tonic through the interwebs...
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.
Oh, poor Matilda-- and definitely poor JZ. That's definitely worthy of a soothing something or other.
Aww, poor JZ, and poor Matilda.
Aw, poor Matilda and Mama. I hope she is feeling better!
So, my gut is (slowly) healing but now I have a cold. Trying not to cough and sneeze as it FUCKING HURTS! I thought I'd be back at work tomorrow (surgery was last Monday), but it ain't happening. I can't imagine driving and sitting down all day (I must have access to a bed somewhat frequently). Thank God my boss is really really really cool. I'd actually really like to go to work and be normal again.
ETA: ~ma to Theodosia's mom and to Theo herself.
If I wasn't me, I would have to marry me for tonight's mushroom risotto
I spent today having Christmas with the family. Delayed because this is when my brother, SIL, and Cutest Nephew EVER! were here.
BTW, if you hadn't guessed -- my nephew is still cute!!! And eating solid foods. That boy likes his bananas and oatmeal. Seriously no "here comes the airplane" stuff he started fussing as soon as he swallowed and the spoon wasn't there.
So he's cute. And long. And I got a couple discs with pictures, a framed picture, and a mug with his picture. The mug is going to work with me where all can see his adorableness and tremble before it.
And there were other stuff. Plus my brother and SIL were extoling the virtues of the Wii so as soon as I can find one it will be mine. All mine!
Americans eat dog too. Well, past tense. I just learned that the Louis & Clark expedition purchased dogs to eat from some Native Americans (sorry, I forget which tribe) even though they were in some of the richest salmon area at the perfect time. But the men wanted meat not fish. No mention if that was normal for the time or not. But rather interesting.
That's a contraction, not an abbreviation. (I'm sorry, Fay. I couldn't resist. I tried... sort of. Says the ellipsis abuser.)
Fair point, well made.
I've been drinking since 4:30.
You lush!
...procrastinating? Me? I don't know WHAT you could possibly mean by that. Um. Right. Okay, back to marking kids' books...
Poor Tilda. Throwing up is no fun.
As Matilda herself piteously described her state during the washup: "I don't have a good time."
Pictures of my NYE trip to Denver are here: [link]
WARNING: There are pictures of The Thing (aka Belinda) in there. Nicole and I were tormenting Suzi and K-bug with her, so K-Bug kind of broke her head open (to let out the evil spirits?). Nicole's DF performed surgery, and all is now well.
