Congrats, Sail!

I seen you without your clothes on before. Never thought I'd see you naked.

[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.

I wrote three pages today, which puts me right on track for my writing plan.
Still haven't heard anything from any of the schools where I interviewed. Applied to a few more today.
Supposedly getting a new dishwasher tomorrow.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have the greatest urge to start chanting "Cri-icket...come out to play-ay!"
But I shall restrain myself.
I had my glucose tolerance test today (yay pregnancy) and now I feel like I was hit by a truck. This right here is why I don't drink soda or juice! Bah.

Oh, I also found out something today that will shock Teppy to the core - DH applied for a writing gig with SparkNotes and found out on their writing test that they explicitly forbid the use of semicolons in their plot summaries! (Also em-dashes and a few other weird things - basically they get that their core audience is comprised of people with lower than average reading comprehension, so the style guide is geared towards ridonkulously simple sentence structures.)

Ick! That stuff is so nasty (I'm not a soda drinker either). Here's to no gestational diabetes!

I had to keep reminding myself that if I threw it up, they'd just make me come back and drink more. But I also don't have anything resembling a sweet tooth (when I indulge myself with junk food, I always go for salt), so the whole sugar crash thing is doubly unpleasant.
I'm supposed to be attending an informational meeting tonight about a new charter school in our neighborhood (which sounds COMPLETELY AWESOMECAKES WITH AWESOME SAUCE - it's in association with the parks dept and the botanical gardens and has an environmental science focus and is IN OUR DISTRICT), but I think I'll make DH go instead so I can fall asleep early.

Cricket is at that OMGTOOMANYTHREADSANDCONVERSATIONS stage of Buffistadom. I keep telling her just to start in one thread until she gets used to it. She's awesome with awesome on top, much like Jessica's possible new charter school. (See how I did that?)
I am at a new ob/gyn's office. Which is not awesome, but is neccesary.

That new charter school does sound awesome.

I've been meaning to return something, and just realized that if I don't do it today, I can't return it. Is it worth a 40 minute round trip for $10? especially since I would probably spend the $10 on dinner since I took the 40 minutes?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

THE HELL?!?
Also, Jess, do you have a link to your vegetarian Skyline recipe?
