I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

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.

Just needed to say it the once, however.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Alright, smonster, I have stuff to do, too. Not as hefty a list as yours, but still... stuff that won't do itself.

  • Put a load of laundry on the indoor line downstairs.
  • Put away the booty of today's four-stop shopping spree. (This is IT. I am never shopping again. At least in 2011.)
  • Finish Holiday cards and get them ready to send out.
  • Get Daniel to sign Holiday cards.
  • Decide the best presentation of a cheap, pre-paid cell phone for a beloved coworker who does not have one and cannot afford one. We took up a collection for it because she does a lot of driving and we worry about her safety. And it does not have to be a financial burden on her after the prepaid time/minutes are up, because she will still be able to call 911 in an emergency and that is what we want for her.
  • There may be more, but I can't think of it right now.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Foie-reos are tempting, and I do need to walk Frankie... oh, for more hours in the day. We'll see how much I get done in the next hour.

I sat down. Why did I sit down? Get up, girl!

It's going to be rainy and in the 60s in NC. Meh.

Get up Smonster! You inspired me to look at the weather. It will be in the 40s in Indy. Could be worse! It's about the same as Seattle will be, but without the rain.

I have not gone Outside. But I am dyeing my hair, for which I bought hair dye about a month ago.

Thanks to everyone for the support! I just took a quick break to eat some grapefruit and catch up here, and now I'm going to type up pet care instructions.

Go, WindSparrow!

Don't forget the duvet cover, smonster!

I think the rest will have to wait for tomorrow. Still! Good progress. Couldn't have done it without my cheering squad of Bitches.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Go, smonster, go! My to-do list:

  • Write check for catsitter, leave with instructions on table
  • Write check to choir pal, put in mail
  • Fold laundry
  • Pack
  • Wash stuff that can't go in dishwasher
  • Email L
  • Call M

Tomorrow morning:

  • Take out compost
  • Run dishwasher

Hmm. Is that it? I feel like there was more. Though it's really the packing that is the onerous part.
