I'm here. I'm pondering getting dressed and going to get some work done. I don't particularly feel like it, but I know that I should. I just had a huge spinach salad, so maybe all that iron will give me some energy.
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

[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.

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

I'm having my first coffee of the pregnancy! I'm falling asleep at my desk and having some :ahem: bathroom issues that I'm hoping a little cup of Joe might help with. Only half a cup, but still! Coffee!

I'm all tuckered out from the high-speed geekery of yesterday.
Also, I have yet to be asleep. I left the computer at midnight (after a spectacular friendship!fail that I may never recover from), and at 4 I stopped staring at the ceiling and picked up a book.
I've been at work for 3 hours already.
So I got nothin'.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Cricket folks are very enthusiastic.
Yes, yes they are. Perhaps more so than baseball fen.
Aw, StuntHusband. Many hugs to you.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
One of our neighbors has a cricket bat. There were people playing cricket in out court. It was a tad surreal , because it was happening when I couldn't really see.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry, StuntHusband. Peaceful thoughts headed your way. I hope you are able to have restful renewing sleep later.

Yesterday we picked the granite for the new kitchen counter/bar area (went with a mostly black, matte piece), stone tile for the kitchen floor (gray slate), and a soapstone countertop for the bathroom (gray with hint of blue). So exciting! Almost makes living in a hellhole piled high with boxes (kitchen and bathroom cabinets) and tons of dust worth it. Almost.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Very cool, GC! After months of dithering, this weekend we are finally going to get the tile for our kitchen backsplash. I think we are going with white subway tile and black grout, but that could all change when we see what's on sale.

You're renovating while pregnant, GC?? I mean, I suppose better than renovating while having small baby, but...eep!
How the hell does a gas station in Alabama have a cricket bat?
I suppose the answer of "is from country where cricket is popular" makes more sense, but having just watched "Shaun of the Dead", I too went to a "is prepared for zombies!" place.
I am NOT prepared for anything, myself. I slept for SIXTEEN HOURS yesterday (including a six hour nap from 2-8pm). This is NOT working for me. Oy. WTF body? WTF?
