Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Happy Birthday Teppy!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Happy Birthday Steph!
On zillow, what is the Zestimate?
I like this little baby house. The kitchen isn't perfect for me, but it has a lavender bathroom and within walking distance to work, and is on 3 buslines. I don't actually have a down payment saved up, and now I feel like I could lose my job any day now!
That is the problem with being an "assistant"-- your job is so tied to your boss, and it seems to almost never work out to get a new boss. Especially since I do almost nothing assistant-y (like scheduling her calendar or answering her phone) and instead am basically charged with doing what it takes to get the whole non-academic part of classes off the ground.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Birthday Happies Teppy!!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Happy birthday Tep!
The Zenstimate is what Zillow estimates the house *should* cost based on other local property values.

Happy birthday, Steph!
Sophia, that would be an adorable little place for you. I love the river walk so close by.

When the Bride is Not a Virgin (Sep, 1965)
...
This is not to say, of course, that virginity is not an advantage in many instances. If this girl had not been forced by her own personal qualities to learn about sex from experimentation, her fiance would not have doubted her in the first place. But it does illustrate that good marriages can be built on firm grounds even when there is something in the past— sexual or otherwise—that needs to be discussed and thought through ahead of time.
Some may say that this girl is the exception to the rule, and that once a girl begins sexual relations, she loses her inhibitions in this regard. Many boys seem to have this point of view. This, however, is not a sound assumption. It involves, in my opinion, a male error in the understanding of the female point of view.
The vast majority of girls who have sex relations before marriage are not promiscuous and uninhibited. Most of them have a strong emotional attachment for the person with whom they share sexual intimacy—even though this “attachment” may be a temporary one. The fact that a woman has had sex experiences before marriage does not mean that she will not be faithful to her husband when married.
...
In spite of the fact that our double standard of sex — which says that sex before marriage is all right for men but not for women—is weakening, it still has a strong hold on most men. A great many of them, no matter how sexually liberated they feel themselves to be, still can’t accept the fact that their wives have had sexual experiences while unmarried.
Often when an engaged woman or a wife confesses to past experience, she docs it out of a sense of guilt. If she does feel the need for confession, she should seek out a counselor to discuss her problems with. She should not burden her husband with them.

Punishingly Intricate
Happy Birthday, Teppy!
Sophia, that house is adorable! Hope everything works out at work. Can you talk to your boss' boss and/or HR about where you might fit in well with all your skills? It sounds like you'd be a great resource for a lot of departments.
I'm bleary eyed and failed to make it to yoga this morning on only the 2nd day back after being in the boot, and enforced sloth, for a month. Fail! I just couldn't get my brain to stfu and let me fall asleep last night. It kept running horror losing my office scenarios. Tedious! Jesus, Brain, it's sad but it's not a Tragedy!
