I wish everyone could have a big brother like mine. and my family may drive me batty sometimes, but they are never mean or cruel intentionally. People are more than welcome to holiday with us, we hosted people throughout my high school and college years. really undrama-filled mellow family stuff, unless mac has a moment, but really all that means is that we come home and let him do his vegging/game playing.

Cash, sell it on your local Craigslist, You could easily get $50 for them, no reason to pay shipping on something like that.

Thanks, msbelle. I'm posting to my MOMS Club list. I'll sell it for a lot less to one of them.

My siblings will do a lot for me, but getting up at 6:30 AM on the day after Boxing Day (big partying day in my home town) to drive me to the bus station is not one of them. Therefore, my eightysomething parents are doing it, because my mother is too crazy to let me take a cab.

We had 15 people for dinner last night, and I prepared the turkey, the vegetables, the stuffing, the gravy, and one of the desserts. The nice part of that was I got to skip all the cleanup and instead sit with my feet up and play with my new Kindle Fire(!!).

Not having to clean up was one of the best parts of cooking Xmas dinner.

Come on sibs! Shit, I've seen Sean do this and more for any Buffista in his vicinity.

I had one Ex who posited that you could measure love by who was willing to lose sleep for you.

Hello, Buffistas. Happy birthday to those born on Boxing Day!

I have no stories of drama to share. We had a potential drama, which my sister has fretted about for weeks, but thankfully it came to nothing. Short version, S. is dating a man whom her sister K. despises, and he was coming to spend a few hours with S. on Christmas Eve afternoon, so we half-expected an explosion. But K. solved the problem by staying out all night (usual behavior) and sleeping all day, awakening conveniently ten minutes after he left. He brought lovely flowers and seemed really nice and interesting, and S. wasn't shy at all when he was around. So I'm calling the whole thing good.

Now I am home and don't have to go back to work until January 3. Of course I'll be working some anyway, because the nature of the beast, but still it's a vacation. Today I just mostly slept and read and watched tv. Tomorrow I'll do something productive. Probably. Maybe.

To be fair, one did offer to drive six hours to come pick me up before Xmas, but she's a terrible driver and should not be on the highways in winter.

Okay. Well, she gets points for willingness to kill you both by skidding off an icy road. But doing it with love.

I am the one that doesn't like to pick people up or go to the airport early in the am - I am not a good driver , nor do I work very well in the am - however - if it was the way to get them here ( or home) I woud do it . And I have taken Bart out to SF ( back when It was part bus) so no one has to do it alone.

I would offer to pay for a shuttle if driving was not going to work, just saying. because me and morning are not great friends.
