I have discovered the ambrosia that is TJ's Sipping Chocolate. I'm loving TJ's more every time I go there; I just wish the one in Madison was closer to me.
Don't worry, we're sure to spot Faith first. She's like this cleavagy slut-bomb walking around 'Ooh, check me out, I'm wicked-cool, I'm five-by-five.'

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.

Heh, I wish the one in New Orleans wasn't in Atlanta!
OK, off to bring the smonster to the airport.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I got up this morning before Tim, and I noticed there was a present under the tree wrapped in distinctly non-Christmas paper. Intriguing.
Then I fired up the computer, checked my e-mail, and he had sent me an e-card for my 40th-and-a-half birthday (today being Dec. 23).
So when he got up, I got to open my birthday-and-a-half present, which is this necklace: [link]
(I've told the mobius strip story, right? Early in our relationship, we laid in bed one night and made mobius strips. Because they're cool. And then he made me one from a random band of metal at work.)
(The weird thing is that I had a dream last night that he proposed [with a huge ugly blingy ring]. So apparently my prophetic dream ability needs fine-tuned. I got the jewelry part right.)

I also bought him a necklace [link] for Christmas (this happens when you date a cross-dresser), so this amuses me deeply. But he doesn't get it until Christmas.

At least your pool of potential presents is much larger.

Pretty necklaces!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Payroll cancelled direct deposit to my old checking account, but they need a couple weeks to start direct deposit to the new checking account. Why? I don't know.
I know. The request for DD has to go from the paying entity to the bank, and then the bank has to approve it and get back to the paying entity. They won't take direct requests because of the possibility of fraud. This can take up to three weeks.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I'm in the ATL airport! ::waves towards Ginger:: Eating at the Sweetwater place. Cutie waitress complimented my Doctor Hoo t-shirt and keeps calling me beautiful. Almost makes up for the icky tea and mediocre burger.
Hey, Scrappy, my org is changing from bi monthly paychecks to biweekly. Is there a reason why my first paycheck of 2012 will be one week of pay, instead of two?
Relatedly, Zen, I am right there with you on money frustrations. It would also have been nice if I'd had ANY official notification of the change, instead of the rumor mills. My org has communication issues, for real.
Steph, I love the möbius necklace!
Nora was very patient with me this morning while I scurried about. I set my alarm for pm, thank goodness for backup alarms.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, my god, the fucking mall, and the fucking people in New Orleans who cannot drive (ALL OF THEM).
Off to the hospital to visit my grandmother. My mom just said for the first time "It's probably the last time you'll see her."
(Despite those complaints, I haven't been having a bad trip.)
