You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Cool! Are you still interested?

Yeah. It's a school that I didn't know much about before, but I looked it up, and it's a liberal arts college with a pretty good reputation, and it's in a place that wouldn't be my first choice to live but where I would be OK with living, and the teaching load they're offering is entirely reasonable -- one of the other jobs was saying usually 4 courses a semester, but sometimes 5, and that's just a no.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Nice, sounds like a decent fit.

Sounds like good news, Hil. I'm loving seeing you getting some play after the initial slog. Can't wait to see where you end up.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

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

May it do the job quickly and well, Daniel.

Todd, gorgeous necklace! And good taste on the part of the judges.

Sean, I'm loving you loving Italy. Keep posting, man. I need my vicarious tour!

Erin, it's so much fun watching you with M. Kids need all the good parenting available, I tell you what.

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

Sean, it has been great hearing about your trip to Italy. I really hope your time there is good for you.

Daniel, quick healing~ma!

Oh, thank you. Sometimes I feel like I'm doing the classic kid-did-blah-blah, but it's so new. And mostly interesting! I never thought I'd be a mom-figure, and I seem to be kinda decent at it so far.

And tomorrow, I will set him on fire, now that I've said that. Le sigh.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Tonight, I made a 32" x 32" patchwork quilt top. Tomorrow I go get fabric for the edging and backing and quilt binding and batting. Goal: to have quilt finished and wrapped by 2:00 tomorrow afternoon. JoAnn's opens at 9:00.

And also have the house cleaned.
