Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

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.

not your mom's socks.

Wishing strength to Stephanie & Nora, for vastly different reasons.

Waking up at 2 am because HPF was coughing like she had croup? not fun. Watching her temperature spike from normal to 101.8 in the twenty minutes we had her up to try and steam the cough away? also not fun. Having her run around the house like a loon - a healthy loon - this morning? Baffling.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

{{{Stephanie}}}} Best wishes to you.

I do frittatas pretty frequently, but I'm out of cheese at the moment. Thanks for all the tips and encouragement, y'all. It helps so much.

While everything is better with cheese, you can still make a good frittata without out. Cut up any root vegetable you have and roast it is a small (8X8 or 9X9 pan), lower the heat in the oven to 350, add some beaten eggs to the pan (about 5) and cook until set (20 minutes or so).

{{{Sox}}} I'm glad HPF is feeling better this morning, but you must be exhausted.

I'm glad she's feeling better too. I hope it sticks.

Right now she's getting set to do a TinyWriMo - she's answering a bunch of questions for writing her novel about an underground fairy named Lily (she's reading Laura Amy Schlitz' The Night Fairy). I'm betting there will be about 20 minutes of quiet, followed by requests to watch Kiki's Delivery Service (yes), Harry Potter (only if I'm desperate), and Star Wars (newp - went back to netflix), followed by sulking, knitting, and then general trashing of the house when I suggest a nap. Then some more working on her story. Then requests for pizza.

Good thing DH has all-day meetings, followed by a late work dinner.

Trust my rage

I just wanted to thank everyone for all the warm thoughts. I posted on my blog recently about "my village" and while I didn't mention b.org by name you guys are definitely part of that.

And I feel better about the whole situation this morning. Sometimes you do have to know when to just let go. Hopefully, both my baby and his father will have a long life and can get to know each other during some point, even if it's not at the beginning.

Our wings are not tired.

It's like, I know you can't fix and change people, but I still want to. Which is really, really frustrating.

Which extends to the people you create. Still painfully observing my child's learning experiences, silently for the most part.

{{Bitches}} Loving thoughts for all.

Working at home today in my jammies. It just seems like the best plan.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I think that sounds like a fabulous plan.

Totally this.

OMG, love! Stealing this idea to do with M over Xmas break!
