Oh, DAMN, Andi, that ain't right!
Your eyes need to stop being delicate flowers!
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I have a cold, and my throat is sore and my ears are itchy. I'm uncertain what's causing the itchy ears, but it's really annoying.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
HALLO KITTEHS!!! ::smish::
WS, I hope your eyes get better soon, and stay better.
Steph, man, I wish you could have just had a nice, happy, smoke-free vacation at the beach. I'll be hoping for a big gust to come blow all that smoke out to sea.
I have been not at all productive today. Which needs to change. I have more resume tweaking to do, and recommendations to write on LinkedIn, and need to go to Whole Foods, and flea will be here in just a few hours! Yahoo!
Hmm. Snacky, then Whole Foods, methinks.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
So the younger of the two girls I am watching for the summer was getting frustrated at not being able to fold her paper right to make her snowflake. I said I would totally help her fold it (she's only 5) but she had to ask me without whining. She says, "I *can't* stop whining when I am in a whining mood." To which I responded, "Then go away. I have no interest in helping you if you won't stop whining."
Now, she's sprawled across her car seat, very Greta Garbo-esque, staring out the front door, sobbing softly to herself and muttering, "I want mommy. I miss my daddy. No snowflakes for anyone."
Nicely done, I must say. A lot nicer (read: more amusing) than the usual screaming and stomping tantrum fare that I get from Emeline. Still not gonna engage you, kiddo, so long as you are whining.
I had a nice compliment from an elderly woman at the library yesterday. The 3 girls and I were in line to check books out and I had to tell them to stop doing something and just stand in the line, which they all did immediately. The lady looked at me and said, "Finally. A young woman who has control of her children. Nice to see it for a change." Heh.

Inevitably this same woman will be standing behind you at the grocery store when Emeline has a meltdown.

String cheese and a peach: I want this pendant - [link] The artist is a dancer I know, super-sweet, and I love her stuff. But I shan't buy it, unless I can't get it out of my head. This one is pretty cool, too. [link] I love two-sided pendants.
Okay, off to Whole Foods.

True that, Hec. True that.
Having the other two girls has been really quite awesome. I love taking them places and they are pretty well behaved for being 7, 6, and 5. We ran into the mom of the kid I spoke about a couple of weeks and she stared at me and said, "You have three kids at the grocery store." with this total awestruck voice. "How? Do you get anything done?" I told her that I never would have before but now, I'm no longer afraid to leave a full cart of groceries in the middle of an aisle if I need to. It's only happened once because the wrath that fell upon Emeline once we got into the car was like unto nothing she had ever seen before (Hell hath no fury like amother embarassed in public AND a mother denied her Diet Coke and Crack Cheese. Seriously, kid. WTF?) that it hasn't happened since and I just feel so bad for her that she can't (or won't) take A to the grocery store. Or the movies. Or the Farmer's Market. Or anywhere that she can't guarantee there will be fewer than 10 people in the vicinity. I have no idea what life is lke at their house when Other People aren't visiting, but it seems from the outside that as a family, they are missing out on so much because they are afraid to take A anywhere in case she ...
