I have the urge to do grocery shopping and laundry and more but now is the time where if we stay in the house with the shades drawn it might actually stay cool all day. (Not that I'm complaining. We have not had to deal with anything near what most of the country is going through.)

[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.
Oh! Toddson, thanks for the link. I'm not sure if I've heard of them or not, but they look like a good organization to do some more research on.

I wish I'd remembered them sooner. I know about them because about six months after Katrina the Episcopalian Bishop of Louisiana spoke at my church. Just a few days before Katrina he and his wife had moved into their new house ... on the shore of Lake Ponchatrain (sp?) and he'd gotten Jericho Road started.

I have a hairdressing dilemma. My usual hairdresser is out with surgery. Unfortunately, when I was young and ignorant, I switched hairdressers within the salon, which I now know is simply not done. The original hairdresser is still there, would it be tacky to go back to her temporarily while my favorite hairdresser is out?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Call the salon and ask if Usual Hairdresser has specified if a particular stylist is taking her clients while she is out. Explain that normally you would wait for her to get back, but you have an event and you must get in sooner than Usual Hairdresser will be available.

Barb, I'm sorry that the outcome wasn't what you wanted.

So the thing I was waiting on, which was the results of a publisher acquisitions meeting didn't turn out in my favor. They love my writing, were intrigued at the possibility of bringing me into the fold, but felt the story was plotted too similarly to other books out there and perhaps more importantly, too similarly to other books in their own pipeline, with which they were concerned it would compete.
So, end result: they love me-- just not enough. Story of my life.

Ugh, sorry Barb.
I reiterate my offer to run errands or do anything that needs doing.
Maybe picking Tom up from work later? I will let you know what we work out in a couple hours. My phone is being stupid (not able to send texts, not ringing when someone calls me) so I might Gchat you or ping you on the board later.

Most people get postcards, or maybe a snow globe.
