We just went out to lunch and ran into a town full of people there for a car show. I guess it's the weekend for it. Weird to see the parking lots and sidewalks all full.
Oh, God. Oh, God. My hair. My hair! The government gave me bad hair!

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Robin, feel better!
Our pastor's wife introduced me to another single girl at church this morning. She's been trying to introduce us for months, but it just hasn't happened yet. Well, now E (the pastor's wife), our parents, and S (the girl) are trying to get us to go to this Singles Weekend Getaway at the end of May. I just looked up the website. The topic for the nice, long weekend? Love, Sex, and Lasting Relationships. Um. No. I don't need four days of that.
On the other hand, I have nothing planned that weekend, and I have no idea how I'm going to get out of it.

How about a nice, direct "I would rather pluck out my own eyeballs and eat them on a Triscuit than go to this weekend."

I tried a nice, indirect, "Could they be any more predictable in their topic for a singles weekend? It's positively eye-rolly." To which mom replied, "Well, then go for the fellowship."
I wish I'd read Erin's response first.

Thrive to spite them
Can you get out of it by saying right now you aren't interested in a weekend long series on Love, Sex, and Lasting Relationships but if they have another weekend with a different topic you'd be more interested in going?

Eh. I'll figure it out. I'm extra cranky today (thank you, steroids!), so I'll think about it more seriously when the crank monster has left the building.

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.
Weekend full of lectures on Love, Sex, and Lasting Relationships?
How about: "Mom, Dad, E, unless they can guarantee me 2 and 3 at the end of the retreat, I don't want to hear any more about 1."

All is well that ends in pizza.
Hee, Andi.
ION, I'm at work, heading home to Windsparrow.
And I thought seeing a cinder block just off the driving lane yesterday was scary to contemplate. Hoo boy.

not your mom's socks.
rollergirls. huge fun. totally lines out the door. and the base for the band (really long lines - couldn't get in in time - grr.) was completely audible outside and badass. Signed us up for Secret Crush mailing list, so now we can be like fans.
It was excellent to see buffistas in person and wave hullo. and sparky and her {possibly? impostor? yes -- waffles - we like!} DH met us for pizza first - it was an all around sweet afternoon/evening.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Just back from Disneyland. Pictures and such in a bit.
