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.

Congrats, Erin!

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

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.

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.

Yay, Erin! That's awesome!

I said good-bye to the house I grew up in today. The closing is early next week. I'm more upset than I thought I would be.

How do I know when to go to the doctor for a cold? I am just coughing, no stuffiness. But i know people I spent the weekend with have pneumonia and bronchitis. So when do I go? Id hate to go and be told "rest. Liquids." but...

meara, does your chest hurt or is your cough keeping you up at night? Those are two good indicators for me to see the doctor.
