What Cindy said.
eta: I make a bit of a fuss over Father's Day for my mother's husband because I am crazy about him and he is wonderful to all of us. If that were not the case I would do something minor for him to make Mom happy.
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen
[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 just wanted to check the hivemind's thinking on the issue because of the way it never even occurred to me last year that I should honor stepmom for mother's day.
I will probably end up cooking dinner and having everyone over, giving cards, and taking care of everyone all at the same time.
It all seems so transparently obvious when Cindy says it. Thanks!

Okay, I'm asking for hairpats and soothing "there there" noises, please. I am irrationally cranky and down right now. I nearly started crying on the phone to Pete when I was trying to explain this. There is no reason for me to feel this way whatsoever, and I don't like it. Please to be distracting the goth.

What is even happening?
If she were a step-monster, I'd tell you to do nothing--that you'd been manipulated. There are things I do for say, my in-laws, that I am not moved to do (more because of the things, than the in-laws, with whom I'm close).
Sometimes I feel like learning about their displeasure (like say over not attending one of the umpteen Xmas parties) is a little manipulative, and I'm tempted not to, but then I remember they're not manipulative people, so really, I'm just hearing about it (usually from someone else, not them) when they're disappointed. And I remember I do love them, and I love my husband who adores them, and they love my children who return the feeling.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Not really soothing, but look, a new toy for Clovis! [link] (ita linked to that elsewhere a few weeks ago, so it's her fault)
eta: OMG! The customer action shot is either new or went unnoticed last time I looked. LOVE.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Jilli, sometimes we get upset. It doesn't have to mean anything. And it will go away.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

OMG. Depending on how much money I make at the clothing sale this weekend, those will be MINE MINE MINE. I wonder if I should buy two pair and try dye one of them pink.

Hee! Man, Pete and Drew will never let us hang out together again.
