Dagnabbit! Someone just called to ask me to work at an event I wasn't planning on going to, because it's in honor of someone I'm not that impressed with. But of course, I have no good reason not to go, and it will be fine, and she suckered me into agreeing. Hmph.
Natter 69: Practically names itself.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Consuela, ugh, how frustrating. I missed that in The Great Skim.
Lots of ~ma for sara and MK!
ION, I am finally caught up....
Thanks, all.
How was your holiday, tommy?
It was OK. I was fighting off a cold. Had Thanksgiving dinner with my parents and brother at a restaurant on Thursday. Friday my sis and family arrived--sis and gf cooked thanksgiving dinner for us on Saturday. So that was nice. Also, it turns out both my sons are mathematical geniuses. (Both are in the top percentile, anyway.)
Also, I had a nice trip to Tuscaloosa the weekend before. Had a lot of fun at a Crimson Tide game and we watched lots of Doctor Who. After I left, Monica had a bad anxiety attack. When she suffers anxiety she needs to withdraw from people to some extent. So we're taking a break from each other for a while.
oh sarameg, thinking of you and MK. We are in a similar place here, but I am just settled to being with Burrell for as long as she's here.
Suela, your work pisses me off.
tommy: excellent. (re: sons being mathematical geniuses.)
askye - so sorry about your kitty.
GISHWHES has my brain. . . but I believe I may be done.
And since I've been gone for so long, I have to come back with a bunch of wrong:
Mountain Dew & Doritos Cupcakes
Mathematical geniuses is good.
I'm sorry you and Monica are taking a break. Is it likely this is a temporary thing from being overwhelmed? I hope so.
