I think I may have unwittingly flirted my way into free drinks at lunch today. I was just smiling because I'm happy, and was only as courteous as usual, but my waitress (whom I do not know) started blushing and comped part of my ticket.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Bea Arthur passed: [link]
I'm surprised she was 86. She did actually seem younger, though I guess she couldn't be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
do you have any liquid hydrogen peroxide? That should definitely take blood out.
I do have some of that around. Oxyclean took out the small stains, but the big one looks kinda dark still. I'll give it a shot.
I'm pretty sure I'm nothing but sore. I'm just sore in enough different places that there are no comfortable positions. And I think I have to relearn how to wrap my leg without cutting off circulation to the calf. Knees are tricky that way.
wraps all ita's hard surfaces in bubble wrap.
This time it was either the wall or the floor that did the damage. I managed to make it all the way past the bedside table of doom that lurks in my living room! I just forgot about the rest of the environment.
Yikes on the shooting. That is totally scary.
Bea? Wow. I knew she was old, but I sort of viewed her as statically so.

ita, you need a cabana boy to take you everywhere, including the ER when necessary. Or, better yet, a cabana boy with mysterious migraine healing powers!!!
Miracleman, get right on that, please.
Today, the bookstore had a Fancy Nancy party, so we had a huge bunch of little girls all dressed up in their party dresses, some with tiaras and other fancy accessories. Very cute!! In fact, the first girl I saw was probably the best--she had a wonderful princess dress, a tiara, "pearls" around her neck, and her mom had put hair extensions in that were these long curly tresses. Absolutely adorable!

Now tagless for your comfort.

DH asked me last week why we have four 32oz bottles of HP in the house. We just need a lot for protein-based stains. It's the bomb.
ita, definitely take are of yourself.

Our wings are not tired.
Ugh, just turned on the news and the shooting is being covered. Scary stuff.
Ouch! ita needs padded surfaces and the cabana boy. Then never fall or have another migraine to be able to properly enjoy the boy's company.
Swine flu stuff is weird too since the last time I got a flu shot was during the swine flue scare in the 60s.
Bea Arthur was such fun to watch. Also, younger than my mother. It is always unsettling when it is someone her age.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ouch, ita! I would like to take care of you.
Yikes, flea!
Sad about Bea Arthur, although she had a good run.
I totally refreshed my summer wardrobe -- one pair of capris, one pair of shorts, and one skirt! All cheap. I just hope my t-shirt situation is as fine as I think it is.

Athens is a very small town (socially). My boss is involved with the theater group where the shooting took place (though she wasn't there), and I knew the wife of one of the victims through work, and various of my Athens facebook friends knew the victims or the shooter. A lot of shock.

How awful for everyone involved.
In less bad news, the kid next door apparently got a drum kit. And by "kid," I mean "grown man who I didn't think lived there with his mother." I mean, I guess it could be the mother or sister drumming, but somehow I doubt it.
