Allyson is me, also, but with a book contract and probably not tipsy.

And me, but I reassure myself that it's not physically possible to consume enough calories to perceptibly gain more than a pound or two over the holidays. Also, I'm going running in the morning. Joy.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
My nephew has been taught to say, "capice."
As in, "I want some hot cocoa, capice?"

My nephew has been taught to say "That's a joke, son," after he tells a knock-knock joke. Often he screws up the punchline, but the "That's a joke, son" bit redeems it.
So my brother's turning him into Foghorn Leghorn, basically.
I approve.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh, I totally forgot to mention it - Max (my oldest son, who will turn nine in a few months) has been described as "mathematically gifted" by his teacher. Both his momies are amazed at his ability to calculate store discount percentages in his head.
Aww - he takes after his dad....

I (ok, we) fed Kat and lori Christmas dinner. AWESOME CHRISTMAS.
Leftover luminarias (all of them, these are hardy candles) were lit by me, dad and lori and it is very pretty outside my parents' house right now.
And now I'm very sleepy and people are crashing left and right. My dad and I will probably be the last to fall.

Aw. Next year you should put him to work helping shoppers. He could take home a percentage of what he saves his clients!
Not that I'm in favor of child labor. But, um, it'd be great ...math practice... yeah, that's it!

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
Max is NINE?!?!?!?!
I remember when he was private time behind a Cracker Barrel.
Well, maybe I remember when he was two and his brother was private time...
Dude. When did all that happen?

I think I gained 48657137 pounds. Send help.
Sorry, all I have is a lot of ham. And cranberry relish because I forgot (after all that drama to find cranberries) to get it out of the fridge. Which I remembered just now.
Sheesh.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Am I the only one who didn't know Tommyrot had sons?
I don't want to go to work tomorrow.
