I'm pretty sure I flossed my teeth when I spent the long weekend in a hotel room with my grandmother. And I don't floss that often.
Does your dentist ever tell you to spend more time with your grandmother?
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ha! If only my dentist knew! Seriously, I don't think I'll spend another night in a bed with my grandmother.

That would be a difficult thing, indeed. My granny snores and talks in her sleep. I was at her house for a couple days this past summer and I could hear her through walls and closed doors. Even with earplugs in it was torture.
All the family was closing in a bit so I rented a car and drove from Macon to Atlanta. I think my parents wanted to escape with me.

Yeah, when there was occasion to hotel it, I started insisting on paying for my own room. (I think I shared a room with my mom once. I don't think I'd survive even a suite with my dad. He's a bull in a china, bell, buzzer and drum shop. If I did share a room with them, I've blanked it out.)

If there's a next time, I'd pay for my own room. Although this place was really nice and therefore quite expensive. I'd seriously consider it, at the very least!

Family can be torture, and caller ID may, in fact, have saved me from going insane.

Hey Ginger! If I venture back to Macon this coming summer I'll have to escape and come and see you! I can handle Granny in tiny chunks.
I was in Atlanta for a conference last March, too!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I spent the holidays mostly at home playing with the baby. I highly recommend this course of action to others.

At my mother's, I spend a lot of time in the bathroom. It's the only place they'll leave me alone.
Having grown up in a house with 5 other people and one bathroom, this does not work at my parent's house. If I'm in the bathroom my sisters and mother will barge right in. It's crazymaking.
I hope y'all had a great NYE. I was at my friend's house in the country playing games with them and their friends. I am still bitter that they wouldn't allow "British English" as a legit language in Scattergories. Especially when the two expats repeatedly had to explain some of the Brit slang they were trying to use as words.
