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.

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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

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!

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I went to the ginormous liquor store and got an unbroken stein (as well as a chardonnay and a shiraz, for lo, I am weak in the face of good wine) and even wrapped it as soon as I got home.

And 7-layer miracle not-cookie bars are in the oven.

I even did dishes.

Thus endeth my to-do list.
