Aside from gravy and sweet potatoes, I am the expeditor tomorrow. Sister is bringing bloody marys.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

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.

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

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I didn't exactly make the most of my skanky years, but I did realize in my early 20s that my body, as much as I was dissatisfied with it, was probably as good as it was ever going to be and, to paraphrase a bumper sticker, it was time to streak while gravity was on my side.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
ita rocks. ita also occasionally moon but that is a different conversation.
Is Monday too soon to check in, and any thoughts on whether I should call or just send another email? Keeping in mind that the job starts the first week of January.
Tuesday or Wed.
I will just say that even in the best of families, family communication is a BITCH. I adore the family I have here and herding these goddamn cats for the first time today had me flipping out like a mammalian Pete V. It wasn't pretty. Thankfully, I dig these people and we're on a better communication track now. But ugh, the stress family communications bring at the best of times...

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Loved ita's beer run story.
Wishing your sister all the best, Laura. There's never a good time to have depression, but the holidays are one of the hardest times for it. You're a sweetie for finding her chill-out spaces. Very important.
Daniel has been quoting Marvin the Paranoid Android's lines in a Jackie Mason voice.
Ooh. Nearly as bad as when I was moaning about my life last week and The Girl went "Brain the size of a planet..." at me. (But she had been listening to my whining for three weeks straight, admittedly.)
Interview for associate lecturer job today. I've read so much feminist theory in prepration over the last few days that I fear I might spontaneously run in to the campus shop and graffiti over the men's magazines with the girls in no clothes on them, or something.

Good luck, Seska!
I have now made two pies, and peeled and cut up potatoes. Tomorrow, the real cooking.

Have made pumpkin pie and cranberry relish.

“Not dead yet!”
I made a cranberry cherry pear chutney/relish thing. (Have no clue what to call it-- I was winging it.)
Bird is brining- tomorrow is pie, first thing, then shove the bird in the oven.
Also very happy to not be herding cats. meara, I held off responding about T-giving because everyone's been taking turns not feeling well and I don't think sharing germs is in quite the spirit of the holiday. And of course, now it's Lewis who's turned up feeling crappy.
But there will be pie.

Happy Thanksgiving!
We'll be doing ours on Saturday, so when you're all calming down from the holiday panic, you can watch me slowly disintegrate in the kitchen.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
I have made a small batch of cookies. And Brownies! But I fear I may have sprinkled too much cinnimin in the brownies. They smelled reeeaaallll good baking. I will resist temptation, and wait to try them until I get to PixDesigns.
Okay, hivemind. I met with this woman on Monday morning, and she said she would type up a job offer.I think I missed something in the skimming. Didn't you just get a new job? Is this a new new job? :: shakes fist at need to skim ::
