Your step-uncle and step-grandfather sound like perfectly lovely people. Your aunt, though -- shudder. Vibing you much patience, and maybe some convenient food-prep crises that give you an excuse to hole yourself up in the kitchen if necessary.

HMOG, I have finished the annotated bibliography. Praise Jebus! It's an Easter Miracle.

Went out on a double feature movie date last night with the DH after going to work all morning. Today, I am pretty much too tired to move. Luckily, I don't have to! Am going to stick close to home with a heating pad today.

I hope all who are gathering with loved ones have a wonderful, fun, loving time, with as few crazy vibes as possible.

Ye gods, Anne. A woman like that needs to be ostracized by the family for everyone's peace of mind.

I have no idea what I did to deserve such a sweet, dorky, wonderful guy.

There's no love quite like Dork Love. Teppy and The Boy are my OTP.

I think we need a specific buffista holiday that entails chocolate baby toes.

I made chilli dogs for lunch due to lack of anything else to make.

Olivia has developed a serious 'tude. If I don't let her do EXACTLY as she wishes, she throws a lovely diva-like fit with head tossed back, writhing body and deep howls of rage. Today's fits have been brought to you by the person who refused to let her: climb onto the table top and rifle through the Sunday paper, pour a cup out and fingerpaint with chocolate milk, stick macaroni up the dog's nose, stick her fingers up my nose and pull the pepper shaker off the kitchen counter and lick it.

Ahhh, Olivia can see 2 on the horizon. Emmett got difficult at 19 months.

What ARE you, a fascist?

What ARE you, a fascist?

If you really loved her you'd let her stick her sharp little fingers up your nose.

Steph, that's very sweet. No wonder you lurves him.

Robin, wishing you a warm heating pad and a loving Easter.

I have just let my kids eat marshmallow-bunnies-on-a-stick, as an Easter treat. Am waiting for chaos to ensue, but so far they are just being their usual selves.

Hey Hec, while you're around, do you happen to know the answer to my question from back here: Hil R. "Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History" Apr 7, 2007 10:42:42 am PDT ? The "certain buffista" mentioned thought you might. (I have no memory of this happening at all. It's really puzzling me that someone remembers something about me that I don't remember. Also, it's disparaging to my knowledge of rock history!)
