I'd actually vote for token appearance with present, followed by Special Dinner Dinner or Day Trip with her after. That should mollify a bit.
Me, too.
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[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.

Oh, and if you want to suck up good, so they look petty saying anything -- bring some flowers for your aunt, because she's the one that gave birth all those 16 years ago.

I am at school on the first day of spring break, doing Saturday detention. I have two students, and all of Season 7 of Buffy. AND I get paid about $150 for it.
You got your students to show up for Saturday detention? We had five students scheduled last week, the parents all agreed to it, and we were VOLUNTEERING... and not a one showed up.
Also, happy Cesar Chavez Day, everybody! Well, everybody in California, I guess. I must shower and go to the parade. Because I like my students and I want to participate in the community MORE than I want to get a full night's sleep and watch movies. Yes. Really I do. Yes.
Anyway, any local SF folks wanting to see a parade, it starts at noon at 24th and Potrero, heading up 24th (convenient BART stop!). I will be taking pictures, and cheering those honor roll students leading the parade. [link]

3 out of 4. I had to call one's sister and he came late. But Sat. school is the only way they can make-up excessive absences, and not lose their credits for classes. It's either repeat a semester, or Saturday school.
They are bored out of their skulls. 7 hours of schoolwork -- the horror! Me, I watched the first episode of "The Riches." Ans am thinking about ordering some lunch.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh, hot! I was supposed to give her flowers ages ago anyway. If only I knew where the hell one got flowers from that didn't cost $75 or whatever.
As for the younger generation, I'm pretty sure they're tired of the family too. My little sister has been bitching to me ever since she became a teenager.
I couldn't think of a good present, but I finally decided on a Barnes and Noble gift card to be used toward HP7, as she's a big HP fan.

Coffee drunk, shower had. Must summon energy to leave house! The good thing is that once I'm out, I can actually go to school and do some of the work I left there on Friday. Still, I so just want to crawl under the covers again. Eek! Gotta go!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Trader Joe's usually has some gorgeous bouquets if you get there in the morning; IIRC, they run 9.99-14.99, with maybe an obscenely lush and multicolored beauty going for around $20.

Get her good ones if you can swing it. It'll make them all die from all the nast things they can't say.
Every year, my mum's secretary got a dozen roses from her son-in-law on his wife's birthday. I always thought that was so smooooooooove.
