Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Worse is that my sister has a blocked number these days and I really can't be skipping her calls right now so I have to pick up every unknown call I see come in. Yes, I twitch.

I hope a moose bites her.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Can you program her number into your phone?

Punishingly Intricate

Which reminds me that I have a box of stuff

OH! That reminds me that I have a pair of super cute girl's shoes size 8.5 that I bought by mistake from a website where they were not clear to differentiate between kid and grownup sizes! der. They've been sitting in my desk (well, actually several consecutive desks) for a couple years now. They are bronzey Kenneth Cole Reaction. Kind of like this:

If anyone is interested, send me an email.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I am full of energy this morning, and I have no idea why. I might take advantage of it and go furniture shopping. I still need a table and a loveseat.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Anyone who wants to send me baby girl clothes is more than welcome! But also not necessary as I have a neighbor with a 1 year old girl (holy crap Bea is turning 1!!!) who's been promising/threatening to dump all her hand-me-downs onto me. And it's not like Dylan's baby clothes are so aggressively gendered that TBA won't be able to wear them too.

Andi, yeah, that growing up thing kind of sucks too sometimes. If I didn't know that, the parenting would probably be easier.

The little monkey bunny's been screaming that he hates school every morning lately, so a day off seemed like a good idea. His teacher was okay with it, but surprised. She said he's been just fine at school and seems very happy. We discussed redirection and putting him in pullups over night because he's wetting the bed more, which means less sleep for just about everyone. And I thought maybe they were pushing him harder to mainstream him, but she said not., and I trust her. He's got a great team on his side at the school.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Poor monkey bunny. And how I love that phrase.

Kalliope, like her mother and first cousin once removed (that's you, Sox), is a wee baby monster and falling off the growth charts fast. So don't be so sure she's outgrown anything. She's a pretty solid size 70 in Hanna Andersson at the moment.

Last time we went to the pediatrician, I brought a copy of the page from my baby book which has all of my height/weight records for my first 2.5 years and the office was giddy with joy. They said that parents never, ever have this kind of information. Two points for my mother.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Can you program her number into your phone?

Probably won't matter - it will still come up as blocked.

Your mom rocks sparky. We amuse ourselves by alternating at the annual checkup. When DH takes hee in, she's going to be normal-to-tall. When I do.., well, nsm.
