See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

This is for a wedding that you're in? I always thought shower gifts were optional for members of the wedding party; they're supposed to be invited to all the showers, but they're not required to get a present for every single one. And, since they're presumably spending a chunk on being in the wedding in the first place, if they do bring a shower gift it doesn't have to be a pricey one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh god, that reminds me. I got invited to a baby shower for someone that I don't think I'm friends with. We were definitely friendly in grad school, but never much beyond that. But I do like her! But I still don't know if I care enough to go to the suburbs to give her a present, the week before she moves out of New York. You know?

Tornado watch! No wonder my sinuses are goink bonkers.

Yes. I've been invited to multiple showers, but I can only make one.

I am having a little anxiety this afternoon and I think I am going to search the groceries where I am going for that lambic I have been craving.

weekend plans

tonight mac gets to play with hair products until he satisfies himself that he really cannot have spikey hair

tomorrow - maybe Y or greenmarket or not, late afternoon indoor birthday party for mac's friend - I am hoping I can actually leave that and go get a dehumidifier.

Sunday - church, mac and uncle going to see king fu panda, no idea what I will do

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

no idea what I will do

Come to the comic book convention with me, msbelle!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Weekend: spiedie party on Saturday. I'm told this is an upstate NY thing. I might be bringing some pasta salad or something. Sunday, maybe lunch with internet vegans, depending on how social I'm feeling. If not, then farmers market.

Is that for me? Edited to say: phew! Okay. Too many showers, man.

No, I think I'm supposed to send something to the shower I don't really want to go to. I may or may not! So there.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Jesse, Amazon gift certificates make great no-show shower gifts.

Tom, I am not sure you want that. I just scheduled a massage for while mac and uncle are watching the movie.
