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.
Have fun, Barb, and break a leg! (I think the superstition is the same for all live performances?!)
Had GREAT time connecting with friend my my study abroad London days...and she intro'd us to the crack that is TJ's chocolate covered almonds with sea salt! YUM, OMG.
She also brought over a couple of bottles of wine to toast my opening of my freelancing biz, so I am a little buzzed. Wearing a sweater, and red wine and chocolate buzz -- YAY!
erika, I got your email, and I will respond tomorrow when I have not had a few glasses of wine. But yes!
I'm sleepy. And I'm sick. But I also seem to be getting better at Stern Teacher Voice. Today, at the beginning of class, I had a talk with my students about how I'm seeing way too many algebra errors on their papers. Basic point of the talk was, "You should have learned this in high school. If your high school didn't teach it to you, then that's not your fault, but it is now your responsibility to learn it, because you need to know these topics in order to learn calculus." And people were nodding and asking where they could find help. And at the end of class, there were a few extra minutes, so I gave them a problem to do using the algebra skills that I'd told them they needed to practice, and most of them didn't finish the problem by the time the class was over, but even after I dismissed the class, most of them stayed to finish the problem and discuss their solutions with me.
Hil, that sounds like a major breakthrough. Good on you!
X-posting from my FB page, because I'm so unbearably tickled by this exchange with Nate:
Him: Can't wait for Doctor Who tomorrow.
Me: We won't be able to watch until late
Him: WHY?!?
Me: Noles are playing Oklahoma tomorrow evening.
Him: *glares*
Me: Dude, number 1 versus number 5 and one of them is the Noles. You know how long it's been since we've had a game like this?
Him: *glares*
Me: Quit sulking.
Him: I will not. I am totally going to be Doctor Jonas Sulk. I'm going to revolutionize sulking.
Me: *laughing hysterically*
I won't be able to watch the GAME!!! Because I don't have cable and decided not to get cable,. And I could have gotten the cheap cable package and watched it.
Curses.
I'm going to order the cheap cable package tomorrow, I still won't see the game but maybe another one.
Edit - it's on ABC but I have to have cable or something to get anything. I tried rabbit ears but that's just got me 2 PBS channels and 2 channels out of Montreal.
Girl, you need to find a sports bar.
I need Cat Advice.
One of my cats is peeing on my clothes or towels I have used recently. Not on the rug or carpet or my bed but on my clothes. This has happened a few times. At first I thought it was an -- ew the litter box is bad I'm punishing you-- type thing. But it's not it.
And it's being done when I'm not looking, how I can figure out which one it is? It's not all the time or every day so I don't think it's a UTI. But it's often enough that it's bothering.
I know, I was thinking, the game's at 8 it's late. There's no real sports bar in town. But I think I'm going to find the closest one I think will have the game on.
Ahahaha Dr. Jonas Sulk. Love it.
Hil, that's great. Go you with the teaching.
Askye, I'm not sure. Put one in a bathroom, and if it happens again, it's the other one?
