Gah. I'm glad to hear things weren't worse, erika. That's super, super scary.

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.
Yikes, Erika. Glad the aftereffects are not too horrible. Not to be crass, but this incident sounds like something you might be able to use for a future story or book.
Lots of ~ma and warm thoughts for Matt and his family.
Yikes, erika! Really glad you're safe, and sorry you had to go through that.
I went and explored Victorian Christmas. I listened to someone playing an antique piano, and I wandered a craft fair (which was all junk), and I talked to some Civil War reenactors who seemed to be reenacting a time when the soldiers camped out and cooked over an open fire, and I said hi to the Ghost of Christmas Present (I think -- whichever one is the one with the green cape with the fur) and someone who I think was Mrs. Fezziwig, but might have been Mrs. Cratchet.
and a pub crawl to attend!!
THIS IS RELEVANT TO MY INTERESTS.
Nora, it's a goodbye party for the Americorps who are leaving, in MidCity. I'd love for you to come, but be aware that it'll be mainly mid-twenties v. high-energy kids. It starts in just over an hour...
There's also the naughty Santa pub crawl, but I don't know the details on that.
If Comcast doesn't fix this DVR in the next, oh hour or so, I'm gonna be doing a pub crawl in my house. Five and a half hours, four CSRs, and it still isn't working right. One CSR hung up on me! Ridic.
I might sometime. I'm pretty wigged out.
There was no leaf-blowing on my part. Actually, I did very little, as I remembered yet again that there isn't much I *can* do because Tim's dad is so very particular about how exactly he wants things. Which he's entitled to, but it makes it hard to help him, especially when I would rather aim a tinsel cannon at the tree and be done.
It's very frustrating, because it feels like wasted effort on my part. I know that he'll re-do probably 50% (or more) of what I did. But there's no real way for me to NOT help without coming off as a dick.
No hot Nicholas, either.
I have steroid munchies so bad that I stopped at KFC on the way home for a 2-piece (with mashed taters), which I inhaled in about 3 nanoseconds. I feel guilty in a mostly vegetarian house when I bring home cooked animal, because the cats go bonkers over That Amazing Smell Coming From The Paper Bag.
They got NO chicken. Fuck that. I'm starving.
