what was that cheesey movie in the 80's? Driving School?

I am so very glad that I don't know the answer to this question.

Whew. the 22 year old just gave me thumbs up for seeing her next Saturday night. WHOOOT!

Thanks for the kind words for sick GF. She is worse today, poor thing. I have cleaned up the dust from today's work, gone grocery shopping, and started a big pot of veggie beef soup. What I haven't done? Schoolwork! Argh..

what was that cheesey movie in the 80's? Driving School? Or some such.

Moving Violations?

FTR: endive, walnut, pear, roquefort salad tastes great the next day.

Its a little brown, but the endive and walnuts are still crispy.

This is almost unique in my lifetime salad experience.

Blah. I don't know if I'm getting sick or what, but I've had a nasty headache and a whole lot of fatigue all day. I feel back asleep around 2 and just woke up.

Stop beating yourself up about it, ND. You don't suck. It sucks that spending time with your family is crazy making and painful. But that suck isn't your fault. Those that care about you, and that would include me, would much rather see you having a fun Thanksgiving with loved ones in the few moments you have free.

ND, I don't know what to tell you about your family. The fact that they keep "forgetting" why you haven't made it down for the past five years and the subsequent guilt speaks far worse of them than it does of you, IMO, especially since you'll see them all for Christmas in a month. I think if this was happening to someone else you would see that, but it's just too personal to see clearly right now.

As far as the whole guilt about not wanting to see them goes, I think a lot of people here in thread will tell you that that's a very common sentiment.

In either case, I think we had a really wonderful day yesterday, and I would hope that your family would understand that you have your own family traditions with me now. I suppose that's a lot to ask, but I'm selfish about the fact that I get one special holiday with you. I'm also a little bummed that what was a great day is now tainted by guilt.

Another piece of pumpkin pie:

Am I the only one around right now?

The kitten Will. Not. Shut. Up. He has escaped a few times and has decided that he must go outside to achieve true happiness. Argh.

I'm around. I am trying to decide what to wear tonight. I want to dress up for the leather meet and greet (which is hapening at the same time as the gay country dancing, for which I would wear cowboy boots and jeans), but don't really want to walk there in that getup, and can't dance in it (but...new leather corset!). These outfits are really not the same.

meara, I love you and your life.

Can you bring the corset outfit and do a quick change?
