Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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've said this before and I'll say it again, I don't understand you people who like toothpaste flavored cookies, ice cream, etc! Now, if you can find me ice cream flavored toothpaste, we'll talk.
Laura, I hope that son coming home is a success.
Shir, that fire is so . . . disturbing.

Our wings are not tired.
So I did my annual check to see if there are any Trader Joes in my future. Closest store, Atlanta. Oh well. Guess I need to visit TJ having Buffistas more often.
Laura! Come visit me in New Orleans, you're not so far away, right?
We've driven there! It took about 14 hours. We normally would fly but the whole family went because I was doing a marathon. I've been back a couple times for business and the the F2F, but another visit would be grand.
Son is home. We really didn't talk last night. Just let him get settled in. Of course he is still asleep. We'll see how it goes.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I don't like mint. Well, I'm OK with small amounts of fresh mint, but I cannot stand mint flavoring, in anything. I buy the fruit-flavored toothpaste with cartoon characters on the tube, because for some reason every toothpaste company thinks that all adults like mint, and only make non-mint toothpaste for kids. (Well, Tom's of Maine makes a good fruit-flavored toothpaste without cartoons, but I haven't found anywhere around here that carries it.)

When I was in NM last week, I made a special trip to TJs just for all the peppermint/chocolate cookies and hot chocolate. And peppermint bark! Although the William Sonoma peppermint bark is better

My seasonal favorite at TJ's is the dark chocolate caramels with sea salt. We also bought the pumpkin ice cream lately, which was delicious!

I love those caramels but they also make me feel sick. I wish I could buy just one or two.

The handyman is here, and he says he has to fix "the hole" upstairs before he can fix our light down here. I really don't want to know.
