Welcome to the world, babyfras! Congrats, Sparky and Sparky's DH! So glad all of you came through this well!
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
A baby! Woo. Congrats to Sparky and family.
I just had an awful shock. The admistrator for my course e-mailed to ask why I hadn't handed in my second essay yesterday. I have a two-week extension, but some idiot in the office seems to have lost both the form *and* their copy of the confirmation of the extension. AND then my course tutor forgot that I had talked to her, more than once, about the extension, and that she had written my new hand-in date in her diary. Nice. That general screw-up nearly cost me half a semester's grades. Can I have a vodka now, please?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
That's not ADD, that's just dread. I feel it every paper set.
I hate grading.
I chuckled when I read this -- which makes me think Burrell was just cracking a joke. I doubt she was doubting the existance of Kristin's ADD. Not only is she a mom and a teacher, she's been around here long enough to know better.

I chuckled as well, but I know that when Kristin is in the midst of struggling with ADD she has a very hard time joking about it. Chalk it up to me be extra defensive of her on what what had already been a stressful day. Didn't mean to over react.

“Not dead yet!”
Ugh. I woke up feeling achy and congested and coughing some. I figured if I got up and got moving it would fade away, but NSM. I'm back in bed with green tea and ibuprofen.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
Yay Babyfrass! Very exiting.
I could use any spare please-let-it-still-go-through-ma if anyone has some.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Holy crap! Babyfrass! Welcome to the world, wee Buffista-to-be!
All my fellow singletons have my sympathy. Especially the crazy cat ladies whose eccentricities are growing more marked by the day - SO with you there, peeps.
our washer/dryer is stacked in a closet, so no love for me when ND is out of town.
...this does strike me as rather hilarious, within the context of the conversation. Your poor closeted washer/dryer! It should be brave, it should venture out of the closet and boogie on down to a little Gloria Gaynor, damn it! Washer/Dryer/Sextoy PRIDE, dammit!
Meanwhile, today has been - man, I can't even. Today has been one of those days where I REALLY REALLY REALLY feel like I'm the central character in a sitcom, stumbling from one moment of OMGWTF into the next, flailing and wide-eyed and incredulous.
I haven't the heart to write it all down. But I'm hoping tomorrow will be VERY MUCH BETTER. Meanwhile, my day had the silver lining of cupcakes. So that's good.
Kristin - wishing you good things, love.
Also, Teppy is my hero. ijs. And Tom Scola is made of win.
