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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Barry Manilow is the best they could get for Capitol Fourth? Aretha Franklin singing the national anthem was great, and they follow her up with Barry Manilow?

Well, the food was all fantastic and the weather perfection, but Dylan ate too much and barfed all over the backyard. So not quite the best Fourth ever, but two out of three ain't bad!
Now back inside and watching Barry Manilow on PBS.

Thrive to spite them
I got an update from my dad. Around 45 members of my extended family are all at the beach. Not in one house (although there are 15 staying together in one), but anyway 45 people.
I'm not sure I want to drive an hour, stay 2-3 hours around that many people with little chance of breathing room, drive an hour back.
I'm such a hermity homebody but I just don't do well around that many people with no place to go get some privacy. I could go for a walk on the beach to get away but...
So I'm torn between going and seeing cousins I haven't seen in while, and not going because I know how draining it will be on me.

not your mom's socks.
wow Askye - that is a lot of people. staying 2-3 hours gives you a time limit though - so you can limit the drain, as long as you can get away when you mean to. Grab a favorite cousin for a walk, maybe?

Okay this is awesome.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Heh.

Making a diet recipe doesn't really help if I can't stop eating it. Not making this casserole again until I get a bit better at eating one serving and walking away.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My sis and her boyfriend and I watched fireworks from the supermarket parking lot on top of my mountain. Along with hundreds of other people. It was fun. Can't remember the last time I watched fireworks; normally I hide from the traffic at home. But there was hardly any traffic. I love it here.
