Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

Getting through closing was like having an extra full time job with we did it last year.

Yup. Both times. There is always one more document.

I love the game where every agency takes whatever time they need, but then when they need something from you, it has to happen in the next 2 hours or the whole deal is off.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I got a two-week extension on the closing date, and probably getting a mortgage from the mortgage place affiliated with the realtor.

That's great news!

Excellent, Hil.

Weighted blanket question - for a blanket that will cover two people, should the weight be calculated per person, or combined? (i.e. for two people who each weigh 150, would the correct blanket be 15lb or 30lb?)

Just finished my registration for the SuperRun 5k tomorrow. This is going to be such a crazy weekend. It's Irish Faire and the 5k tomorrow, then performing at the House of Ireland on Sunday. I've gotta find out who put the SuperRun on St. Patrick's Day weekend and encourage them to really consider their lifechoices before next year.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Just finished my registration for the SuperRun 5k tomorrow.

Yay! The SuperRun here is in about a month, I think. I should do that one.

I can't do the Flying Pig this year, because friends are getting married that day. But in early June, there's a 5K/10K for migraine awareness/research, which is right up my alley, so I am definitely doing that one.

You should! Capes are back this year!

I haven't settled on a 5k for April yet (I'm trying to do one a month this year), but I recently saw there's one for NAMI - reducing stigma around mental health issues - which sounded like a pretty important/close to home one.

I gotta look around and see whether there's ever a Diabetes one, considering how that MFer runs rampant through my family.

Jessica, I'm not sure! Because they say that 10% idea but then they don't say over how big a blanket. I ordered a small (like 45x73"?) 20lb blanket but they also had those in 60x80" size. I figure that's a much smaller amount of weight spread out like that? I've been really liking mine. It's a bit warm, though, I need to re-evaluate my blanket situation and I'm worried summer will not work. But I feel like it's helping me sleep through the night—I didn't usually have a problem going back to sleep, but it's nice not to wake up so much.
