THIS.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

[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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
think we're three moves to New Orleans' two?
Hey, I was just plumping for a visit! But she can move here, too, that'd be cool. And I think we're a pretty good distance from the mom, if not quite a continent.

It works for in-laws, too.
Only two days after we let the new cats out for the first time, Milo (the late-neutered male with the very tomcat habits but no balls to back them up with, literally) has got into his very first fight. I panicked so we took him to the out-of-hours vet. He's fine (and looks hilarious with shorn bits), but I feel like a terrible cat-mummy. Also I sobbed all the way to the vet's. I am never allowed to have children. I am allowed another glass of wine though.

Vortex, that sucks, but may it be a blessing in disguise. Or at the very least, some nice downtime while you find a better job.
ION, Cupcake chardonnay? Pretty decent. (Does not taste like cupcakes. I wouldn't have bought it if I thought it did.)

I really like the Cupcake brand of wines. It's reasonable priced and yummy. Apparently they make vodka now too.

The chardonnay got a really good Wine Spectator rating (88/100), and it's a $9-14 wine, depending on where you buy it. This is how the winery describes it:
Decadent levels of butter, cream, bright citrus and vanilla melt into a balance of oak and subtle spice.
Buttery, oaky chardonnay is my OTChardonnay. Oh hell yeah.
