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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Speaking of Exans, I should determine if we're having a Superbowl Home Invasion this year, so that I can stock up on chips or something.

Definitely stay at home, Hil (and askye!).

I'm heading out of here myself at 2:00 for a half-day PTO due to not having a lot to do here and having tons of PTO to use up, as well as having to run errands this afternoon.

The status is NOT quo.

I think everyone who thinks teaching is such a great gig should try it for a year.

I mean, I love it, but seriously.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

teachers make more money than private sector

What? People say that? Weird.

Happy birthday, Windsparrow!

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

wooot! i found a restaurant upstairs. Took way too much walking to get to and not really nap-amenable but it does at least provide a comfy place to sit with incandescent lights and access to food, water, and coffee brought to me. Finally. Baileys and coffee, yummers. Maybe i won't take a nap today after all!

erin, I thought for a moment you had discovered a restaurant in your attic. And I was very jealous.

Kristin- i ruled out teaching as a viable career option long ago. My mom loves what she does but seriously brought work home with her EVERY night and weekends. I think there were months of my childhood when i just never saw her because she had to leave for work before i got up and then would have to stay late for parent meetings and syllabus planning until after my bedtime. It would take over all of my life and i can't see letting that happen. Two thumbs up to everyone who does have the endurance and will to educate the next generation.

If there were a restaruant in my attic i would totally install a ladder up there.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

Barb, I have a serious envy for your love for your house.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I had a dream last night that I was installing hardwood floors. Apparently I stole Nora's dream.

Re: limerance -- I always understood it to be how the original researcher coined it [link] "Limerance is that period of passionate, intense infatuation with another person."

Or Urban Dictionary's definition: [link]

I don't know where they get that "lack of trust" business. That's somebody else's agenda.

apparently, that's also the definition.

And yet, not the whole definition.
