Where I had an image of using it in a more gentle, slidey motion as a percussion instrument.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

[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.

I was raised by cats. I still observe the Old Ways.
If we ever meet, I am bringing a laser pointer!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I had the BEST time with Tom in NYC. I hope I didn't make you too anxious--I loved hanging out with you.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I posted a cute picture of ltc earlier today with the caption "Mommy thinks I'm going to let her read the paper". And I got a response from an inlaw that surely the baby is more fun and exciting than current events. Seriously? Why does everyone want to seem to want to make moms feel guilty if they don't want to spend 24/7 playing with their babies. I love ltc more than anything but sometimes I just need a break. Or am I being too sensitive?

When K was born my sister took me aside and said, "It's okay to be relieved when the baby goes to sleep." Heck, it's okay to be happy when the 6-year old goes to sleep...

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Your in-law is being a doofus. Ignore.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
sj, I will smite your in-law with great vengeance and furious anger. Mamas need breaks. (I just spent 30 minutes walking Peanut up & down the hall, begging her to fall asleep. She's asleep, finally, but on me. Not ideal, but I'll take it.)

You have my permission.

Ugh. I'm sorry. I feel inadequate sometimes because I can't walk her around. So, I have to find other ways to comfort her. She's a great sleeper at night, but not a great napper. I'm trying to transition her from the bassinet to the crib, and she took two short naps in the crib today. Not long enough, and she's still cranky but it's something.

See, I need to do that, since Peanut's already outgrowing her bassinet, but I don't have the emotional fortitude.
I'm sorry if you ever feel inadequate, sj. You're not, and I know ltc knows she's one loved and well-mothered little girl.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
