So. We're broke and needed some attractive storage for Emeline's playroom shelves. My brilliant, though not original, solution? Cover copypaper boxes with fabric and ribbon I already had! I just finished the first one and, I have to say, it's pretty damn rockin'.
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Oh Seska, blergh.
My cousin in London had swine flu a few weeks ago - she said the worst of it only lasted a few days, and after a week she was back to fighting fit. So, you know, not good, but at least it's not a lingerer?

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
So, you know, not good, but at least it's not a lingerer?
This is what I hear. It has spread like wildfire here, but people are saying it's less awful than most strains of flu.
We bought masses of BBQ food for the little party we were planning for this evening, and now The Girl is having to cook it all just to put it in the freezer so we can have it another time. Chicken and halloumi skewers, anyone?

Gods yes.
You're in the UK, right? Whereabouts? I'm about (assuming nothing goes horribly wrong) to move to London, hopefully to not pick up swine flu...

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
sj, there was a woman at a birthday party for a three-year-old yesterday that looked so much like you, but taller. Made me miss you.

Aims, that sounds wonderful. Post pictures please!

Neat, Cass! I miss you too. I wish we had been able to spend more time together at the F2F.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I am having a remarkably boring day. So far today, I ate leftovers, went to CVS to buy more vinegar, and scrubbed my bathroom floor. Next will probably be the kitchen floor. Then maybe laundry.

I just bid on a food dehydrator on eBay. Because all those canning supplies sitting in my cabinet are not enough food preservation stuff for me to not use. (I think I'll use the dehydrator more than I've been using the canning stuff. Requires much less time standing over the stove in the middle of the summer.)

Our wings are not tired
Hey there everyone, I've just skipped like crazy but I wanted to say hello.
I'm on the way back to LA after being out of town for pretty close to 8 weeks, it's going to be nice to be home in a few more hours. Right now I'm waiting in St. Louis for my connecting flight to LA.
