Ah, good, you got the bra.

(that means I probably mailed The Letter to the right person... )

Bear in mind it is a little old, so a new one in the same size L would probably be snugger. Be sure to let me know if you like it! Susan O said TE would be carrying them. (there are different styles)

[KnottedYet]

Don't you have to have a rebound relationship 1st? :::: surfs off to find thesbian manual :::::

think that was in there, chapter 5....ah hah! There's an exemption clause on page 2003!

I'm sure with these imaginary abs I could get someone to volunteer for that position.

(all the same, I'd rather take advantage of the exemption clause)

i think this calls for another bottle of wine! (not in a bad drinking way, in a good celebrate kind of way!)

We have a three-legged Manx in my apartment complex, I call him Trey. I haven't seen him swim, but he can outrun my little Miniature Schnauzer. Heidi isn't slow but Trey is lightning fast, he doesn't know he is missing a front leg! He also purrs like a train.

Trey! I love it. (get it? ... three legs ... trey ... ) I was picturing a cat missing a back leg, sort of half-ruddered, not able to swim very straight. Plus the whole get me the hell out of the water aspect of a swimming cat.

Salsa--so sorry about your TOE! I say charge the contractor. Sort of his fault, right?

KN--what can I tell ya? I don't recommend the four years of stunned celibacy I went through after my big break up. Blech. Have some fun. You're free!

[Kitsune06]

UGH!

I hate my internet connection. Just when I need it most (and most figure I'll have it) it goes down and out on me. SO that's why I'm first here this late (otherwise I would've annoyed everyone much earlier...)

KN- Watch out! Sometimes the rebound relationship that starts on the best intentions turns out to be a sweet ltr. Lookit me. I find a cute chica at the fair, and waddaya know, she's still stuck with me and happy about it! a year later.

CWR- Nothing like biking on a hangover. I think the last time I tried, I was puking sake in the mulch on campus when xdh decided to 'race' me to work. Ungh. (Yes, I know it's crass to drink that much sake. No, I won't do it again.)

[chickwhorips]

(Yes, I know it's crass to drink that much sake. No, I won't do it again.)

i'm glad you learned your lesson.

[Kitsune06]

Yeah. I sure did. If I paid *that much* for something, it's staying down. So I only sicken myself on stuff other people bought.

[KnottedYet]

Doves o' the Day

1. Follow your instincts.
2. Smile before bed. You'll sleep better.

Off to Costco to try to figure out how to buy groceries without using any money...

[Lise]

I WANT my email.

I WANT to see J.

I WANT to be home without having to travel home.

What was that about instant gratification?

Clothes in the drier waiting to be packed, everything else is ready to go, cab coming at 8:30 AM. With the miracle of time zones, I'll be in my fair city by 11:30 AM. Home again, home again, higglety-pig.

I had a great day here in DC. Saw mom off, ate b'fast, took the bus down to Dupont Circle, picked up my phone charger from the hotel I stayed at Friday night (whoops--glad I was still in town!). Went to my favorite bead shop, Bedazzled, shopped. Went to a meeting, ran into someone who got sober the same year I did ('84) back in Chi-town! What a treat. Ate a sandwich in front of the new statue honoring Mahatma Ghandi. Appreciated the irony. Went to my favorite museum, The Phillips Collection, but they were CLOSED (every Monday)! So I hopped on the metro, and zipped down to the Nat'l Gallery to visit the Rothkos and Clyfford Stills there (I know I'm misspelling his name). Man, is the Metro easier to use than the El in Chicago. Walked up to the Library of Congress, which I'd never visited before. It is magnificent. They have an exhibit up of a work in progress, an illustrated manuscript of the Bible, commissioned by St. John's University. It is breathtaking. Some of the illustrated pages brought me to tears. The magestic words, calliographed, with the gorgeous, rich paintings that are almost tapestries. No flat image can ever do them justice. The exhibit's up 'til December, so if you're in DC, you must go to the Library of Congress and check it out. This link shows my favorite of the pages I saw: http://www.saintjohnsbible.org/why/overview.htm

Now I've eaten tasty leftovers, walked both dogs, done the laundry, packed, and am ready to crash. Sleep tight, TD!

[DrBee]

Hey Ladies!

I'm trying to catch up with TD and the rest. Not having so much luck with that! We had internet up the other day and then the computer wigged out. Now - we have a new one. We're still swimming in boxes, but the kitchen is unpacked! Only 2 more days till the fridge arrives. That will be a good day.

I'm still working on a new name and avatar. Any other suggestions?

FishJr is having a really tough time with the move. She was fine at first, now she's making herself sick. When she gets the least bit stressed - lunch comes back up. Not good. I started work today (it's going to be great btw) and she was fine most of the day, but tonight was bad. She promises to be better tomorrow. She misses her friends. We have her room almost unpacked - I think that's helping. Yeesh. Fishfry on the other hand is oblivious and apparently going through a growth spirt - he is eating everything in sight! Look out!

Wish me luck wading through the posts. See you soon! I may never catch up - I go out of town next week for a training course (lubbock, tx).

[DirtDiva]

Beelzebub? Sorry, not very helpful, but the only "bee" word I could think of.

[Kitsune06]

Our very own Biking Beeotch.

No no no, I know, it wouldn't 'fit' but it was all I could think of. I fail.

KnottedYet "(all the same, I'd rather take advantage of the exemption clause)"

yes there in chapter 5 "if previous GF has left you alone for over 2 years go directly past the rebound relationship. But only after passing the multiple choice quiz on our hidden agenda with a score of 85% or above"

Lise I believe that was something like "I'm an American I want my instant gratification and I want it now"

Dove chocolate fortunes:
wink at someone driving past today.
remember your first everything.

I won't look for better fortunes because I didn't spin today ;-)

[Aggie_Ama]

Trey! I love it. (get it? ... three legs ... trey ... )

It seems nicer than the typical "Tripod".

Yeah. I sure did. If I paid *that much* for something, it's staying down. So I only sicken myself on stuff other people bought.

That is a lesson I should learn. Come to think of it, the sickest I have gotten off alcohol has always been when others bought. Maybe I should stay away from the free drinks, they always ruin the next day.

Hey Ladies!

Anyone heading to Lubbock will need luck. I must find the picture of the Shetland Pony in a truck taken in Lubbock. People just aren't right up there. <<Sorry to our Lubbock members, I am an Aggie.>>

Welcome home, Fish. Fishbee? Beegirl?

Does FishJr have something she can take care of, like a pet? Sometimes it's such a nice distraction, to have to care about something like that. How is Roux, by the way? Maybe FishJr could do some special stuff to help Roux adjust to the move...

Lise, those museums are SO great. I looked at the St. John's link you posted and that work looks to be exquisite. I could never stand living there but man, what a great place to visit. The temptation to charge the contractor for my toe is significant, even though he had nothing to do with it. I cringe now when I drive past other remodels. I have remodel PTSD except that it isn't even P yet, so to speak.

Knot, let us know if you figured out the groceries/money trick. And if not, did you at least have fun at Costco?
