HAPPY BAD-ASS ROLLIN' REDHEADED BIRTHDAY, Le Scrap!

[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

Erin, I love you so very, very much. The military analogy is totally priceless.
I hope you feel better very, very soon.
The window restoration thing didn't happen - lack of attendence - but Bill gave me a good overview (wow, did not realize everything involved; related, old windows are so fucking cool). I stopped by a farmer's mkt on the way back over the bridge and bought eggs, then dropped by where StW was studying to say hi and give him a little break, then bought exciting things at the hardware store (air filters, Damp Rid for my car, etc) and then home. Not sure what the rest of the day/evening holds, but a nap is likely and much needed. Tomorrow Bill is having a monthly brunch at his house, so I'll likely go to that. Want to meet his wife, plus there's a solar contractor Bill wants to introduce me to. He warned me that his wife would have out the karaoke machine; I grinned and told him I was pretty sure his wife and I were going to be friends.

“Not dead yet!”
smonster, may I just say that your networking, friend making, badass self leaves my exceedingly shy and introverted self in complete and utter awe? You totally rock, lady. (I mean, you already did, which we already knew, but still-- it's extra levels of rockingness.)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I agree

Hivemind, I need help. Today is my baby sis' 30th birthday, and she has no one to celebrate with. My parents are out of town, she doesn't have many friends and is always hesitant to try and organize anything. I want to make her feel special somehow. Here are the factors:
1) I don't have money to spend, really, though I might just say fuckit
2) We don't buy each other gifts any more by mutual agreement
3) Flowers are out because of all the cats
Her card is going to be late - I haven't made one and I haven't found one I wanted to buy - and she knows that (and expects it from me).
Help!?!?! I posted on her wall, and posted on mine, and I'm going to call her in a bit, but I'm kind of at a loss. It doesn't help that she is a badass card maker and gift selector, but NOTORIOUSLY hard to shop for.

Oh, xpost. Thank you, Barb and Laga. I used to think networking was a horrible, nasty thing. But then I realized that if done with genuine passion, it's just talking to awesome people about awesome things! IDK. I am an extrovert, but can be quite shy, believe it or not. I tend to be shy around shy people and outgoing around outgoing people.

smonster, do you have a webcam and microphone? Or just a webcam (you can use index cards to communicate.) Make and send her a vid about all the things you like and admire about her, and how much you love her.

Hmm. Yeah, I have a Mac. I was thinking about scanning some old photos... maybe I could just hold up the photos and talk about memories and stuff. Hmm.

smonster,
you also could do a scavenger hunt around the internet leaving little clues and messages for her.
