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.
erin! Your new house is so charming! I love the raised beds outside. And while yeah, I can definitely understand that desire for more room in the bathroom, I think the whole place has a ton of potential. I can't wait to see more pics as you renovate.
IOme(sort of)N: My little Diva is now officially a not-so-little Diva.
She's TWELVE!
How did that happen? She's not a baby anymore? She's a beautiful, lovely girl who's poised on the brink of giving her father constant heart attacks. She's already got a couple of boys crushing on her-- one asked her over last Friday when they didn't have school to have popcorn and play DS games.
She's really going to be like the perfect girl-- she's girly, loves to draw, loves clothes, but also loves to game and geek out monumentally. I can't wait until we get to Seattle and she can really let her little creative feathers fly.
I am in shame.
I *bought* my costume for the party tonight.

Aww, happy birthday to the Diva. I don't think DH could have survived having a daughter.
I was reading some more stuff on his website but I couldn't bring myself to read the testimonials.
My right hand person never met a conspiracy theory she didn't love, and believe. It takes a huge amount of effort to not smack her on a regular basis. But she is otherwise brilliant and a wonderful employee. Sigh. We just can't talk about anything but work.
Yay Erin with the new house! House projects are never ending, but also very rewarding. I'm looking forward to watching the transformation.
Jilli, I feel your tights woe, for those are truly glorious and it is only right that you should have them.
erin, congrats on your house. I'm so happy for you!
Happy Birthday to the not-so-little diva!
KBD made us brunch and I am now slounging on the balcony with coffee.
Omg! I caught up! Too much to Meara. Tons of hair pats and high fives.
Yay Jilli on job! Also Erin on home ownership. Pix are you feeling better?
Grand opening of the new performing arts center went well. Load in of our first show in the new theater was not smooth. Fighting the installed wiring and poor design choices. But tonight is first audience and the show sounds ok. Will report more later.
Ugh. Long day. I'm enjoying my part-time course, but we had a Saturday school for it today, and what a waste of five hours. We watched a video for an hour, discussed our essays in groups for two hours, and finally got round to some real work from about 3 till 5. You could tell the teacher didn't want to be there. (It occurs to me that, having been a teacher, I will never be a non-critical student again.)

Heh. I may have to do that. (I'm already trying, but I got stuck on too many syllables. Given that 'disability' and 'physiotherapy' are my two key concepts.)
Yay for Erin's new house!
omnis, do you work or perform at the arts centre in question? Glad to hear the grand opening went well, regardless!
As sort of an asterisk to the disability discussion, Teresa Nielsen Hayden posts her experience of turning invisible. Her combination of being disabled, female and middle aged gave her the magic power of Home Depot employees being unable to see or hear her, no matter how close she stood to them or how loudly she asked for help finding an item.

Heh. Good article. I know that experience. The walking aid comes out and the power of invisibility takes over.
About to spoil my diet entirely by ordering Indian food for dinner. I've been so good this week that it's high time I ruined it. I blame it on... let's think... the clocks going back tonight. Yes. That.
Congratulations on the new house, Erin! I love the fenced in yard area with the roses. And the covered porch near the front door looks lovely, too.
For those waiting with bated breath, I did in fact go purse shopping today (with bonus Amyth), to both TJMaxx and Marshall's. Sadly, they didn't have anything quite like what I was looking for. So when I got back home I went back to zappos and ordered this one. [link]
