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

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.

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.
