nope.

Drat. It even tells me that my email isn't in the system, despite the fact that's where all my statements arrive. I guess I know whose telephone system I'll be navigating during my lunch hour.

the driver held a "hot tub and strippers" party in the back of the truck?

and forgot to invite the boss?

blinking in awe of the audacity of Raq's relatives.

Not sure how you'd get out of the Thanksgiving thing, but the list of motels/hotels in the area is definitely on the list of good ideas. OR, what about this, "Sister Dear, don't you remember, when you first asked about coming to stay, we agreed on [dates that are totally not the ones she has her tickets for, or that you were all going to meet for a Carribean Cruise, or something else that has about as much to do with her reality as her current plans have to do with yours]".

still blinking

I'm having the opposite issue as Raq. My aunt demanded that I stay with her this weekend. I really like her, but I've never spent more than a few hours with her. Or any of the folks on that side of my family, really. I can't afford a hotel, not that I'd be allowed anyway...but I need my space, darn it.

Will be taking my Ativan with me. I haven't used it in a long time, but I'm already freaking out.

OK, how about my sister and co. go to stay with Suzi's aunt? That works.

One of my friends at work said, "We'll babysit Mal if you need to take your family "hiking." Or something. And, use quicklime."

ION, oh snap! The radio was playing Radiohead "I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo" and as it ended the DJ said, "...and, we always send that song out to Ann Coulter."

But....I like my aunt.

Ok, you travelers. I need to know which airports have free wifi - Denver? Chicago? Orlando?

Albuquerque has free wi-fi throughout the airport.

Aimee, you didn't always want a monster face on your kitchen wall?

Plus, the daughter is the one with the psycho ex, so hey, he could show up and threaten to kill people. Or maybe this is a plot to have her move in with us, rather than freeloading off her folks.

well, you could always stay with me for a few days. or claim a big meeting at work and come hang out. Also, since they are staying with you for free, then they can take care of Mallory and you can go out.

But....I like my aunt

I like my sister. In small doses.

A good plan!

And if pairing them means I get to hang with you...SCORE!!!!

Not this time. Maybe in the next kitchen.
