That is not a good state to be in, Ginger. Unfortunately, I canna think of any good fall songs except Autumn Leaves...with it's amazing downscale triiiillllllll. There. Any better?
Sox, you've had excellent advice here, I can do no better. I'm very sorry you're being put in this situation--not a good vacation, and you deserve one, without having to be the puck in play. Let your friend wrangle her mom.
sj, you did a good job, hon. Everybody had a good time. You did that, so you need to accept that credit, incorporate it into your bank of experience, and move on to plans for next time. I'm sorry about the energy level, but maybe positive spin can help energize you a little bit? Okay, that may be wishful thinking, but it was worth a shot.
Oh, look at that. My coffee mug's empty. There must be a leak...
There are always songs in my head. I just hate it when the needle gets stuck.
if the seasonal change is really kicking my ass already.

Chatty!co-worker made pirate hats for us, thanks to Quark and tabloid-sized printer paper.

Arrrr.
I hate my brain most of the time too.
Hmmm, I think my comment may have come off differently than I intended.
I'm glad that Chatty co-worker is also crafty with pirate-themed accessories! Rather than just talking your face off.
Hmmm, I think my comment may have come off differently than I intended.
No, it didn't. It's just that I forgot to use my sarcasm font.
D got his first 7th grade report card. All A's except for an 88 in AP Math. I would close the proud Auntie tag, but that doesn't seem to work.
Criminy! D is in the 7th grade already?? It is to boggle.
Sox, I am gobsmacked by your hosts.
I'm also having a bitch of a time keeping the kids out of my MiL's stupid tchotzkies (sp?).

::snorts, mainlines, rubs it in my hair and all over::
Well, hi! How is everybody?
Oh--um. Thanks, Sail. Now to go be productive.
I say tschotchkes, Cash, but I'm probably (oh, like this is news) a little a/r about it. I've also seen it as chotchkes.
