I gave my parents this: [link] and it was much appreciated.
'Get It Done'
Spike's Bitches 23: We've mastered the power of positive giving up.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I'll cruise down the nile with you anytime, lisah.
aw...thanks!
Thanks Betsy. That's a beautiful vase. She'd love it. Plus, Guild.com is giving me all sorts of ideas. I appreciate the suggestion.
Grrr...
My brother (who lives in Houston) planned a trip to visit my parents (in Memphis) for the week of June 5. My mom called me and asked me to try and go down then, too, so that she could have all her babies in one place on June 7th. I don't have a lot of vacation time to use this year, so I checked my schedule. I figured out I could fly down for a few days, call my sister to make sure she can get me from the airport, it's all good. My sister & I decide to keep my coming a secret and surprise Mom. It'll be fun!
I just got an email from my sister. Brother has changed his plans and is coming the week of June 26th. Crap. I emailed to see if he can change it back.
I can probably change my flight, but it'll cost me either $100 total or $100 each way, haven't quite figured that out yet. It sucks. If it's $100 each way, there's no way I can afford it. The tickets were already $300.
Oh, ChiKat. That totally sucks! I hope he can change his plans back. How very, very frustrating.
Chi, that sucks. Makes me want to yell, "Mmmmooooommmm!!! He started it!!"
Chi, that is of the suck!
Raquel, that website (as well as the picture of Mal) is AWESOME. Diplobrat is so. damn. funny.
I need to:
- Complete work.
Marinate burgers (for tonight) and steaks (for tomorrow night).- Make deviled eggs.
- Cut up tomato and lettuce.
- Clean bathroom and kitchen.
- Pack for weekend get-away
Thanks, y'all. It does suck. I just hope my brother can change his plans back. Blech.
Ooh, I forgot to mention from this morning--Mal is a beautiful baby.
Annabel has learned to climb. May God have mercy upon my soul. Fortunately she had only started investigating the hold tags dangling from the library books, not the books themselves. And she can only climb really low things. But I know it's only a matter of time before half our childproofing is for naught. No more putting things on the sideboard behind the sofa, or trusting to chairs shoved up against something to keep it out of her reach.
