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.
smonster, insent.
Bleargh, my allergies are kicking my ass this week. I went to bed early with a massive allergy migraine, and I sneezed and dripped all the way through the farmer's market.
I did get a fabulous planter with black petunias, heliotrope, and allysium -- a HUGE planter, for $10!
Now I have to write, and I really just want to lay down with an ice pack on my nose and eyes.
Barb you looked fantastic!!
I miss ballroom dancing, at some point I'm hoping Will and I will be able to take swing dance lessons, he's expressed an interest in it.

Oh, that would be awesome-- one of the next Latin dances I'm tackling is East Coast Swing. I have to master six dances for the scholarship type of competition my teacher wants to enter me in: three Latin, three ballroom, so I'm doing rumba, cha-cha, and EC Swing for the Latin and waltz, tango, and foxtrot for the ballroom.
Oy. No, I'm not just a little crazy.
Of course you aren't crazy! East Coast Swing was kinda hard for me, I had problems with the timing. But I loved the hustle. And the cha cha and tango and rumba.
I always thought my dad should do some competitions because he's good and dances all the time, but I think that kinda thing takes the fun out of it for him.
On Sunday he went to Argentine Tango lessons and I think he's teaching a bit at the college ballroom dance club. I know he's not a faculty adviser anymore, but he's there every Sunday evening.

Superfun! Swing is my most favorite of all the dances I do. I started on East Coast, then progressed to Lindy Hop. Warning - once you've mastered Lindy it's hard to hold yourself back to East Coast. Hope you love it as much as I do.
Andi, try cold steeped tea bags on your eyes. Helps my allergy eye to feel less flamey.
Yesterday, I was alternating between chamomile and black tea bags. It only seemed to help while they were actually on my eyelids. I woke up this morning and it was even worse than yesterday, to the point where I was wondering if I should call the clinic. I thought there was a possibility I was either working on a major sleep deficit, or a bit dehydrated, or both. So I managed to guzzle around 30 oz of liquid before going back to bed, with a cool, damp washcloth over my eyes. Lo, and behold, I woke up at noon with my eyes feeling noticeably better. So here I sit with another 32 oz bottle of water (refillable, have had it since living in AZ), pondering potassium-rich foods for lunch. Also pondering whether to say, screw doing laundry, go back to bed for more sleep.
Oddly with all this fun stuff happening to my eyes, I've managed to write three Mentalist fics in the last week.

Screw doing laundry. You clearly need rest.

What askye said!
We're headed to New Hampshire tonight to see Neil Gaiman read! I can't wait!
sj, I've been following that on twitter most of the morning. I am so jealous!
WS, I'd say sleep over laundry. Laundry's full of allergens; it's clearly a Bad Idea!
I am still leaking and miserable, but I am getting through this section today if it kills me.
I might have to lay down after 5 more pages. ::SNORKSNIFFLEHACK::
