I've been trying to find the best way to tell my parents that I won't be going to Tucson for Christmas.
I wonder if just not showing up would work.
Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
That was how I expressed my regrets for not wanting to attend my parent's first (huge) Christmas party. Didn't go over well though.
But I have been using that method for missing Thanksgiving for so long that they just don't expect me.
So it's a tossup.

I just had Skyline with Jess and her siblings (some of you met her sister at the SF2F). Yay! I like it when Buffistas come to me.

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
My brother just called me. The one who, last we spoke the day after Easter, screamed many nasty things and then hung up on me? Wants to know what I want for Christmas...

Season tickets to a minor league sport you do not follow?It was two tickets to a midweek game when I was working a corporate job at a stadium a 100 miles away. Good times. I had forgotten about that...

So, Ellie is asleep for the first time all day. She's been asleep for an hour. She's in no way ready to wake up but if I don't wake her up soon, she will never go to bed. I hate this dilemma - cranky baby now or wide awake baby later?

Now tagless for your comfort.

I hate that, Stephanie. It's a no-win situation.

Aw, c'mon. How many times has she woken you up? Don't think of it as making her cranky. Think of it as vengence.

What is even happening?
Heh. Stephanie, I have to say Calli's suggestion has a certain appeal.
You poor thing. I hated that. I don't suppose there's any chance in heck that she'd sleep through?

Unfortunately, her cranky makes me cranky. (Joe's not home this weekend so it's all me all the time.)

I think I'm just going to let her sleep. She totally skipped her nap today, except for right now, so she might sleep through. If she wakes up, I'll give her her bedtime bath and hopefully that will convince her that it is indeed bedtime.
