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.

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

But ... shoes live by the door. Unless it's a seasonal thing - remove the sandals to the closet and bring out the boots.

Yeah, my shoes live by the door, too. But until about 10 minutes ago, there was also a pile of four jackets, a backpack, a few days worth of mail, a purse, and a pair of rain pants. Now, the jackets are on hooks, the shoes are in a row next to the wall, the mail is in the garbage (it was all junk), the backpack is under the table, and the purse and rain pants are still waiting for me to figure out where they belong.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Congratulations, Erin!

My shoes live by the door.

I am totes assuming that the giddy is because of your FANTASTIC NEW GIG, and nothing to do with my resume. If my resume makes you giddy, I'm a tiny bit alarmed.

Well, I DG get a bit of a geeky rush working on resumes, but yes!

I'm in a state of squeeage!

Congrats, Erin!

I have a canvas bin about a foot square that I keep in the front hall closet. All the shoes I wear the most frequently go in there. I come home, take my shoes off, throw them in the box where they're hidden, but handy.

Congratulations, Erin! That is fantastic news.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Shoes live wherever.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Congrats, Erin!! So thrilling.

Today went way too slowly. But it is finally over. I thinky it's a drinky night.

Yay, Erin!

Thanks, everybody! It's a trial freelance position, but that's par for the course. Carina Press is the digital imprint of Harlequin; this could really put us out of ramen noodle territory, and into the fabled land of name brand mac and cheese!

Plus? I get to read romances and paranormals and get paid to mark typos and inconsistencies? My Virgo frillies are a-quiver.
