Here is your cup of coffee.  Brewed from the finest Colombian lighter fluid.

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 had a big breakfast out while ltc was at school, but I only managed coffee for lunch.

Lunch today will be leftover soup from what I made my friendns for dinner last night!

I pretty often buy premade salads or burritos from Trader Joe's for lunch. Or have tuna salad.

Glam, note that for roasting veggies it helps if they are dry before you cover in oil. If not they get more steamed, if they're dry they can get more of that nice browned tastiness.

Lunch is smushed avocados with salt and lime juice.

6 years later, I have decided I'm finally okay with making Mom's legendary artichoke dip for Thanksgiving. I'm doing a trial run tonight.

ION, THERE WAS A SPIDER IN MY TEACUP THIS MORNING. ::shudders:: A tiny one, but it had made a web and was just sitting there. NOT OKAY, UNIVERSE. NOT OKAY.

Also, I need hivemind help making a decision. There's a perfect Gothic Heroine robe on eBay right now, but the bust measurement of the robe is my exact bust measurement. Should I email the seller to ask about the waist measurement, in the theory that it's a wrap-style robe, so there's some flexibility in how it closes?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's beautiful, Jilli. Asking about the waist measurement is not a bad idea. I would be tempted to just assume you could add a little lace to fill in the cleavage if it was too revealing, personally.

Lunch was canned raviolis, one of my random comfort foods.

We did the Prancercise at my last college reunion.

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

I do the same as Tom, but sometimes I will toss some maple syrup or lemon juice in there too. So yummy!

You can also cook them in bacon drippings. Mmmmmmmmm.

I'm thinking of starting a blog, probably not until the new year, but I've started to plan some things out, and I need a title. It will deal with parenting while disabled and everything that comes with that as well as some everyday stuff like cooking and books reviews. I'm thinking something along the lines of The Unexpectedly Normal Life for the title because I never really thought that marriage and kids were a possibility in my life. Any thoughts on a better title than that?
