Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ugh, there is nothing in the house that would make a complete meal, and trying to find some kind of takeout I can eat that won't blow my WW points is a pain. Woe is me.

Take out is really hard with weight watchers.

Also, it means I have to put on pants.

I opted for Chipotle. Now, the pants.

What should I put on the soon to be two year old ltc's wishlist besides a truckload of books? She has so many toys already and clothes. Her room is jam packed with stuff.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Zoo membership or something? College fund?

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

sj, are there any kid-oriented museums/zoos/etc. nearby that you would like a membership to? Otherwise, if she's full up on books, clothes, and toys, you probably don't have to give her much at all! She certainly won't notice or care. Or do you have to come up with a list to send to the grandparents?

Yeah. List for her birthday party. Maybe puzzles and things that don't take up as much room?

There is a huge difference between fresh tomatoes and cooked ones.

Fresh tomatoes are of the devil and give me acid burns and taste metallic. Cooked tomatoes are uncomfortably mostly-squishy but when mashed up enough make a lovely sauce.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I always asked for memberships or classes, until the kids were old enough to ask for their own stuff. (Which mostly meant that the grandparents got the gift membership AND a truckload of crap I didn't need, but at least we could go to the zoo for free!)

Sorry about the tomatoes. I used to get a rash around my mouth from eating tomato sauce, and tested positive for tomato allergy at the doctor's office, but it was never bad enough for me to stop eating pasta/pizza/chili. Eggplant makes my mouth itch and I don't like the taste enough to put up with it, so I don't.

OMG - how do people with chronic pain do this? This hip shit has only been less than two weeks and I have a fantastic doc who has given me the meds to keep it at bay. But I can't function on the drugs, I've missed about half a week of work and I have a new class that starts today.

The tears are hovering and I just wanna crawl in bed until this goes away. But I can't. I have shit to do. My BFF is helping me drive H to her dance class this evening so I could take my meds. Tomorrow I'll have to go med-less to be able to drive myself to PT. And as much as I would love that to be a magic solution, I know that is a process in itself.
