I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

[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.

You have to walk through my bedroom to reach my great room, but it has turned out to be less of an issue than I first expected. Since I've never been the frilly boudoir type, the room is pretty functional.

It IS problematic for overnight guests needing to go from the futon in the GR to the bathroom.

The rooms are big enough though, it's worth it.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

This is why our house has only 2 closets

...I'm sorry, my head just exploded a little. Do you just have dozens of rolling racks & armoires, or what?

Nope, because we have no room for those. It's a teeeeny house. You get used to stacks of stuff.

On a completely unrelated note, I am amazed by the smoothie I've been having for breakfast lately.

  • 1 cup soy milk
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 cup frozen berries
  • 1 tsp 'green drink'
  • 1 tsp aloe supplement
  • 1/scoop designer whey
  • 1 tbsp ground flax seed
  • 1 dash flaxseed oil

It fills a tall glass with a couple of spoons left over.

I had it at 10am and just now looked up to realize I have not eaten in 5.5 hours...and I'm not remotely hungry.

I should have eaten something a couple of hours ago, but I've been working. The point is, no cravings! No pangs.

It's amazing.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I think I have to bookmark that one, bonny. Does it just taste like bananas and berries? What's the aloe for?

I did a pale iridescent pink pedi before the creek, but the creek is rock bottomed, and it's wrecked.

But totes worth it.

Manicures and pedicures are fleeting joys at best, so enjoy them while they last. And, on the other hand, when they're a mess they're not permanent - less so than a bad haircut.

JZ, the aloe supplement is an adjunct to the green drink that my acupuncturist recommended. It includes pomegranate, beet, carrot and citrus to adjust alkaline in my system.

Since I tend to be a bit acidic, it is supposed to help.

It, in combination with the green drink is an immune support.

The smoothie tastes more like the berries than anything else.

The Designer Whey, which I really, really like...more than any other protein supplement I've ever tried, makes the smoothie...smoother. Nice, creamy content.

I had no glasses on at the pool, so my eyes are kinda jacked right now, and I read Designer Whey as "Designer Whitey" and I spent 15 seconds going "WHAAAAT?"

Mmm. I gotta go to the store tonight, and I think I might pick up some stuff for smoothies.

Good idea! Even without Designer Whitey.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Goddamnit, I want a nap. And a long walk in cool dry weather. And maybe a beer. But mostly a nap.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I had a nap. It was awesome. I want another one.

I have paid two bills on the phone, and gotten decent customer service to help me get into both online accounts so I can pay them that way in the future. So that's good. I need to do dishes, and check CL for jobs, and proofread my resume one more time and send it out to several people, and keep unpacking, and work on my budget some more, and write some LInkedin recommendations, and call my landlord, and put some stuff in the freezer before it rots, and...

I want another nap.
