Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Thanks to everyone for the kind wishes for my sister. It sucks to feel powerless, and it sucks that she has been so without hope for so long.
Once again I did that thing where instead of spending an hour focusing (focussing?) on the work I need to do, I tangent off into a rabbithole of internet research which, while somewhat useful, was not the priority. And then I stay up waaaaayyyy too late (12:30, fuck me sideways) and hurriedly spend ten minutes slapping together a document to send to my boss explaining what happened.
OY. In DBT speak - vulnerability high, resiliency low, and I mos def did not use Opposite Action or VITALS. Now, to get what sleep I can.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Aims, that dress is gorgeous; you should get it. And can I just mention how nice it is to see you posting here.
smonster, I'm sorry your sister is having such a hard time of it. So much ~ma to her.
My car is making a weird noise so I made an appointment with the garage this afternoon. Any cheap fix~ma would be appreciated.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I bought the dress. I got it for $50, but I am feeling guilty about buying it.
Well, not guilty enough to not be looking at jewelry, but guilty.
I have shoes, though! I don't need shoes!

These are the shoes I have. [link]
I don't know why it says pink, I've never found them to be pink. But I've never worn them so I'm excited.

You are going to look gorgeous in that dress, Aims, and the shoes are great too. Is this for the reunion or another event?
Does anyone have recommendations on good pregnancy books, blogs, websites, etc? No, I'm not pregnant, but things are headed in that direction.

It's for the reunion. And any other other fancy thing I can go to. I love fancy things.

Me too! Which remind me I need to get my dress altered for the wedding I'm going to next month and figure out if I have something to wear to the rehearsal dinner.

No one should feel guilty about spending $50 on a dress, Aimee. Plus it's so purty.
sj, I found that most pregnancy books were pretty ideological. We had one good one that was just about what parts of the baby were developing at what time but I can't recall what that one was called. Much as I hated it, I tended to consult What to Expect most often because it was so easy to use, but I also rolled my eyes a lot.
One book I loved was Happiest Baby on the Block because it gave actual useful advice on how to soothe and calm a newborn. Plus it was written by the doctor who gave Franny her first exam.
