Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

[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.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Praise be, got the call from the vet and Malachi is fine, no kidney failure, just a jerk. Now that's had his blood panel run, we get to start him on kitty prozac. I can't believe how relieved i am. I feel about 50 pounds lighter. Gonna rush home and forcibly snuggle the little brat! If he comes out from behind the fridge, that is.

The status is NOT quo.

Erin, that's great news!

I just stopped at a local bridal shop, just to look, and found two gorgeous couture dresses that are on sale because they are samples. Still stupid expensive, but wow.

Oh erin, that's wonderful. Amazing how the little bastages worry us.

And ooh, Pix-- spill! What were they like? ::loves wedding dresses::

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

More or less than the Dark Garden gowns?

Laga, way less. Those Dark Garden gowns run $3000-$8000, which blows my mind. Barb, both are dropped waist strapless with gorgeous detail.

ETA: the bodices are fitted tightly through the waist

Sounds gorgeous. I swear, I'm such a formal gown whore.

Oops. Didn't need to be said twice.

It's hard, because Drew would really prefer I just go non-traditional and wear something simple and not white, but a wedding really is one of the only times a woman today gets to truly dress UP in that way, and I'll admit that I never felt prettier than I did in my wedding gown at my first wedding (which was a relatively cheaply made knockoff retailing at $400). I kind of still want to be a bride, especially since I get to wear the dress twice (once just us in Hawaii and once at the big wedding party a couple of weeks later). So we'll see. I just don't know yet.

It's weird not having my mom or any bridesmaids to look and help me figure this out.
