Stephanie, I love that picture. Much smooth-move~ma for you. Heh, sounds like I've gifted you with Ex-Lax.

[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.

Trust my rage
Well, in a way, that's what we need because we need those orders, um, produced for us.

Great pics, Stephanie. Ellie has become quite the stunning young girl! Calm~ma to you. I can't imagine how stressed you must be about not knowing where you're headed.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ellie is gorgeous and I am so jealous of little girls who have long hair. I can't seem to get Em's to grow out - it gets so ratty and doing hair in the morning is just torture. She seems destined for a flapper-like bob until she is the one to take care of her hair.

Nice pics, Stephanie. sj is right, that little girl of yours is a beauty.

I don't know. I was that little girl myself, so I do love it and kinda hoped for the long hair girl too, but Franny asked for a bob so we gave her one. And I have to say she was right, it suits her. She's bouncy and joyful and the hair is too. (Of course in a year from now when she has decided to grow it out into long locks I'll be saying that suits her to a tee.)
Franny story: I volunteer in her classroom on Mondays and was looking at the work displayed up on the walls. One wall had pictures the kids drew of themselves all grown up. Each kid wrote what they wanted to be. So charming! There was a fire fighter, a jockey, a mother. One kid wanted to be the guy who gives out prizes at Chuck E Cheese. Frances wrote: "When I am older I want to mace close." Took me a moment to realize she meant to say "make clothes." Somehow I can actually see Frances as a clothing designer.

Punishingly Intricate
Why am I still awake? And why am I reading about Chandra Levy? Now, in addition to everything else I've been worried about, I'm also scared to walk or bike on any trail that's not visible from the street, and convinced that, if I did disappear, the DC police department wouldn't have any clue how to find me.
Hil, if you're interested I know a really good self defense program in DC.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I can't believe how Ellie has grown! Last time I saw her she was chewing on my turquoise necklace. What a cutiehead.

Great pictures, Stephanie! Ellie is lovely (and smart, too! - since I try not to just complement girl children on their looks).
My girl has allowed me to put her down for a bit and I'm not sure what to do first on the chore list - she's not asleep, so I can't sleep.
Also, I have an appt for a haircut, which, near as I can figure, is my first non-medical, non-work appointment since January. I'm not sure I wanted to know that - damn organized Google calendar.
eta: Stephanie, when will you be in DC? I'm on leave until mid-July.
