Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Much settling in~ma for Nora and Tom.

The weening off the steroids is not going well for me this weekend. I'm in so much pain all I want to do is sit in the corner and cry.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Yay, a Nora sighting! Hang in there, love, you did the right thing.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Yellow onions are 39 cents a pound here at the local Kwik Trip.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

sj, sending you all pain-easing thoughts.

Yay sun for Nora and Tom, and good thoughts for Tom's first work day, and a good exploratory day for Nora.

I spent a long time--well, maybe not so long--thinking of myself as an unsympathetic mom. I wanted to be the kisses and cuddles and there, there type of mom who soothed away the hurts and made things better with bactine and bandaids.

The reality was, someone would come in crying too hard to talk and I'd get all top sargent on them. "Shut up that crying! Stop it right now. I can't help till you tell me what's wrong, now stop crying!" Once we got to the sup-sup stage, when they could hold out an arm and I could see the hand dangling by a shred of skin and knew what I was dealing with, they'd stopped crying, so I took my tweezers and bactine and a Snoopy bandaid and made it all better. And by then they were mostly over the sup-sups and if I'd cuddled them they'd have broken down again, so I swatted their behind and sent them back outside.

And then had myself a private freakout and a little sniffle, 'cause--my baby! No hurt baby!

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

For fun times? Read The Stand while wracked with a severe fever from a flu you caught from everyone else you know. Good times, good times.

Heh, or while stuck in traffic in a very long tunnel. {shudder}

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That's kind of ridic. Where the hell are you buying your onions?

Oakland Safeway. White onions. $1.59/lb at the local grocery, but I don't remember them being that expensive there either.
