Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Erin, you're undoubtedly the Five Time World Champ of the Odalisque.
Exxxcellent! I will remind the fiance that I am slounging, not being a lazy late sleeper, and that he should use me as a muse a la Renoir.
Aims, chew on ice. Or stab a voodoo doll. Or chew straws. Bite carrots that you pretend is your uncle (ass him sideways with a garden weasel, ya cheesesuckin' rectal rodent!)
I am possibly the worst role model for cig smokin' quittin' ever, but somethings that allows you to fiddle with your hands and bite shit up to vent is always best.
Um, stay away from oral play for a while, tho. It always ends in tears at this stage of the nic withdrawal...IMHO.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Morning all. Finally feeling well enough to post again. Hurrah!
Anyone got a good recipe for gluten-free bread? We're experimenting with the bread-maker, and getting reasonable results, but not delicious ones. We've been using spelt flour, rice flour and 'gluten-free flour', in various combinations.
sj, I do hope your neighbour calmed down. That sounds horrid.
Aims, what Erin said re your uncle. Definitely voodoo.

Awesome phrasing. And quite appropriate. Aims, I'm sorry you have to deal with family and housing stuff compressed into one jerkwad. The condo looks lovely--is it on a lake?
Aims - Mar 07, 2010 4:08:16 am PST #12402 of 30000
Shit's all sorts of different now.
It is on a lake. Not one that I would ever swim in since it's totally gross, but the condo has a pool and it's nice to look at.

Thanks everyone for the mutual anger at my uncle. I finally got some sleep and have purged out Emeline's dresser and closet and the food cupboards in order to feel like I have some control over my environs.
Em and I are going out to my mom's this afternoon so I can vent my spleen with her. I know she's going to be furious, but it'll be nice to have the support.
Joe's not thrilled with the idea of going back to apartment living, but it's a means to an end. We do it for 2-5 more years and then house! Of our own! That is ours! Eventually, it'll be totally worth it.
At least that's what I keep telling myself to keep from just breaking down completely.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

My friend A. and her husband are in exactly this same position, Aims. She's been stressing hard about it. Just, you know, so you know you're not alone. There are lots of good things about apartment living, I say as I glare at my still-broken-despite-paying-$$-to-fix-it refrigerator.

It's another absolutely gorgeous day here today! I'm even wearing a skirt for the first time in forever.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Aims, I haven't said, but that's just because the angry stole my articulate, but I'ma just borrow Erin's elegant phrasing about your ulceruncle, and praise your forward motion and determination.

Nothing is ever ideal, but pool? Sidewalk maintenance in winter? No outlay of $$ if the AC breaks in August?
There are pros.
It is also beyootiful here. I need to get out today. If it's nice tomorrow, I'ma wash my car -- I know the car washes will be SLAMMED today.
Oh, it's been the most relaxing weekend in a long time, even with the $ snafu (cause I know there's a workaround there.) I've been sleeping well since Friday, I'm at a good place with my grading, I've been gently social, the weather is good, new books...
Nice. Lovely. Renewing.
