I'm sure it feels like you got a smacky-gram from the Bitches, Susan, but I hope it doesn't stop you from venting or whatever here. I am sure that having an outlet to do the hand-wringing helps a lot, and ensures that it won't communicate itself to Annabel.
I feel like part of the problem is I haven't been doing all the babytalking and songs and rhymes and pointing to things and naming them and so on because I didn't know I was supposed to!
Heh. I know I'm supposed to, and I don't do it very much. And when Mal does get to listen to rhymes, it tends to be Byron or Coleridge, because I know them by heart, but can't finish "Baa Baa Black Sheep." My bet is Mal waits until he's 4 to talk, and then his first word will be "Sennacherib."
But seriously, hairpats and calm.
To all the Bitches, in fact, as it seems like we could all use them! With a side order of no-hurties to sj.
I'm very sorry you felt attacked, Susan. I think Perkins and Hec and co have already said what I'd say, and expressed it better than I would. I do feel for you that you don't have those RL friends you mentioned easily accessible.
Morning, Bitches.
conformation - I forgot that When I went on Advair the first time I had 3 or 4 days of rage. ( i don't generally feel rage at the level where I wish to rip strangers heads off their bodies so I can have some quiet) It is an inhaled steroid - and it isn't supposed to do that. Well, I went back on it yay breatheing) - at a much lower dose- and while it wasn't as extreme this time, it does explain my urge to growl over the last few days.
A world of gronk. I'm at the Burbank airport. I feel like I actually live here lately. I already miss my sweetie, my kitties, and my bed.
Hi all. Just back from date with Riddle Girl. Pleasant evening, and enjoyable company, but I doubt there'll be a second date. Still. First post marriage date, it's all good.
And I tried to buy a book yesterday for the flight (
Breakfast with Tiffany
) but it was $25. Um, no. The book looks pretty good. It's non-fiction, written by a gay man raising his 13 year-old-niece. I've read a few good reviews. But I think I'll wait for the paperback. For now, I just have the latest crap about Jessica Simpson, Brad and Angelina, and Tom and Katie. I'm bored just thinking about it. I hope there's a decent movie on the plane (yeah, right).
ETA: Yay billytea!
Glad you had a pleasant evening, bt. And kudos for your bravery and all, warming your way back into dating.
I had a year where I felt like I lived at the Burbank Airport too, but I was never going anywhere, just dropping off and picking up. You know, I don't miss flying.
Go, BT! The echidnas honor your return to the dating pool.
billytea, I'm glad it sounds at least like a non-traumatic re-entry. Good for you!
BT--have you seen our friend Bob Harris's blog?

He is mostly a political blogger, but he has a whole section devoted to Pudu and other cute tiny animals, some from your neck of the woods. He is a five-time Jeopardy champ and lives in sin with a former Buffy writer whose intitals are JE. He's a fab guy and I think you would like his site.
