Congratulations, Erin!!
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

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.

The status is NOT quo.
Oh yay! Erin, that's wonderful!
P-C, everyone else is wise, so I'm just going to send long distance support vibes.
In other news, we fly home tomorrow. Donwanna!

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Our National Grid is rationing gas supplies. Britain really, really can't cope with a bit of cold and snow. Unbelievable.
All the talk of nail polish is making me want to buy more colours. I usually only use one or two colours, with clear polish most of the time. Maybe I should get more adventurous with colours. I currently have a fantastic dark grey and a shimmery red-pink.
Erin, HUGE congratulations! That's awesome.
Kristin, I hope you've had a fantastic time! I loved the wedding pics.
Belated birthday happies to MM.
smonster, best of luck with *that* e-mail.
Hil, it sounds like you're well prepared for the interviews. I hope they go well. When's the first? (I can totally relate to the thing of focusing on details. That's how I get over my nerves, too. Planning transport home from places is particularly helpful!)
Lots of ~ma to JZ.
P-C, I don't know if this will help, but your mother's reaction to your e-mail is very much like the way that The Girl's father deals with us (particularly her). He is very immature and self-focused - we've learned that the best way of coping with this is to let him sulk, and to keep being very reasonable ourselves. I also agree with Teppy about ignoring guilt trips completely.
Want the books listed here. [link] WANT.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I am going to need tons of advice as I want a corset and a floaty skirt in shades of moss, pink, purple and silver.
Oh, I am so excited!!! My buffistas!!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Your Buffistas are excited, too, Erin! For you! Congratulations and best wishes to both of you.
Do we have an acronym for Erin's fiance? It is customary, you know.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Congratulations, Erin!
ION, it is 9 degrees out, and the temperature is falling. It will be 1 degree by 8 a.m.
I really don't want to go to work today. Knowing that I have my year-end review at the very end of the day doesn't really help, either.

Yay, Erin!!! Congratulation!!!
P-C, so much strength-ma to you.
My brain hates me. I had a nightmare last night that I lost TCG. It was so realistic I woke up shaking and I still feel like I am going to puke.
