Jilli, did I point you to this book before? Captain Hook: The Adventures of a Notorious Youth?
You haven't, but I've been looking at it longingly for a bit now. But I am officially Not Allowed To Buy Books Until After The Holidays. Pesky rules ...
goes back, re-reads about Lily and the sippy-cup
Yay! Thank goodness!
Tell him right out - you know, that's really hurtful to me that you're making this seem like a joke, and I don't give a shit if you think I'm overreacting - would be my call.
erika, that's my gut reaction, too. "Hey, that isn't a joke to me, so don't expect me to share your amusement."
Yay, consumer Lilybean!
She's shopping now? How precocious!
No, conSUMing. As in, comestibles. Well, such comestibles as will fit in a sippy cup.
But really, can shopping be far behind?
Well, I e-mailed my brother, but it is not a total come-to-Jesus as I also suggested a Christmas gift for Grandma:
A donation to Habitat For Humanity.
Because my grandmother kinda...doesn't *like* anything. You know, she has no fandoms, doesn't really read, buys no scented soap, and has a finicky digestive tract. She's less dour than that description makes her sound, but still, giving her a present can be one of the great disappointments of your year, especially as she is phasing out of cooking and stuff. Whatever it is gets the same "Oh, great," but you never see it again, you know?
So at least someone would get good things from bro's $.
No, conSUMing. As in, comestibles. Well, such comestibles as will fit in a sippy cup.
Well, sure. She has to keep up her strength to fight the crowds at the mall.
Hah! I've had that grandma. But I hated her so I didn't care when she bitched.
How lame am I? It's 10:30 on a Friday night, and I'm glad because that means it's no longer too early to go to sleep.
[Um, I mentioned the wine, right?]
This is the stage we are at. Also with the fireplace crackling.
exBF left for work and said he'd see us in the morning. Told him I hated being a sure thing. Told me I shouldn't hang out with his wife then. Yeah, we are having wine and there is fire, this is going to be an overnight kind of thing.
Yay wine!
Good night. Hung out with my fellow-damaged, we made jokes about the collective pathos being enough to sink a small cruise ship, but it was nice and safe and loving and good. I didn't get much packing done, but I got organized....
