Exactly. There's been some hard stuff too (being unemployed, Toto getting diagnosed with diabetes, and his dad being in the hospital for a week, for example). But, for now, it really is a little easier with someone else around.
You walk in worlds the others can't begin to imagine.

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.

DF keeps saying, "When things settle down...." And I finally said the other day, "Honey, I don't think things are ever going to settle down."
Allow me to quote omnis, from an email exchange back in August:
omnis: Shir, dunno how to tell you this, but you are always busy. Not sure you'd know what to do if you weren't busy.
Me: Lies and evil lies and some more lies. I come in the forms of Busy, Busy as Hell, (Somewhat) Less Busy, Meh and Procrastinating.
And my ~mas to those of you who in need for them. I'm trying to catch up, but too afraid to forget anyone in individual ~ma requests.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Ahahahaha!
Your friend doesn’t even know yet… Apparently he wasn’t at work on Thursday or Friday.
I nearly sent him a message on fb right away, but didn't. I love how small the world is.
amyth, yes, she's in the final round.

Yeah it's a judgment call, depending on how much she's making now, how much she likes her current job, etc. What I told N. was that I would (and did) steer anyone I liked away from that office until B. came along. He made it work. So, for a certain personality type, it's possible. And the money's better than what we made/I'm making. Idk.
I may have seen her resume/portfolio. Weird.

Grrr... insert rant here.
Her initials are MF, I met her through dance.

Yep. More money. Consider it hazard pay. It helps. Yep. I only read one resume before I took myself off the list, and it was hers.

True, I wouldn't have lasted a month at any pay with her.
I am at the courtyard with Nora, watching the Saints. There are about fifteen adults, ten kids, and seven dogs. Delightful.

Ohh, smonster! Good to be (partly) back!

move out and draw fire
We're finally at our house on top of a mountain in the Languedoc, having a lazy Sunday morning.
this is me, being insanely jealous.
Stephanie, ~ma for as good a process and outcome as possible.
Sail, Bev, other visual types, have you checked out Pinterest? It has supplanted Tumblr as my prime timesuck.
Beverly - Oct 02, 2011 12:38:33 pm PDT #562 of 30001
Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I will check it out, Raq. I love Tumblr because of the random and obscure. Food and fashion do not thrill me. I like pictures of...fog. And random giraffes. Candles, teapots/cups/sets/trays, pens, ink, handwriting samples, notebooks, watercolor, skies full of floating candle balloon lanterns. The stuff I find on flickr but with less editing effort.
If Pinterest delivers, I will be a fan!
