TCG's dad didn't start dating the stepmom until 6 years after the divorce, so there is no grudge to hold. Eloping is a definite. Family party after the elopement is in question now.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Oh, no. I meant from the shower. That's just insane that she's still talking about it. Ridiculous.
Do what you want, babe. Do what you want. And remember...you're not marrying TCG's mom...you're marrying TCG.

Sorry, vw. She hadn't seen us in person since then so she hung on to it. It's what she does.

Happy birthday, Ginger! My retroactive birthday wish will make this week totally sugar, but also accident free.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Sorry the stepmother is tetchy on the topic of her stepness. Sounds like a great time to refer to her affectionately using the diminutive of her given name that annoys her most, in the most cheerfully oblivious fashion possible.

Did I miss your birthday, Ginger? Hope it was happy, whenever it was/is.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I misread that totally; I thought that TCG's *mom* doesn't like the stepmom being referred to as the stepmom, because her very step-ness is offensive to the DNA contributor.
But I suppose I read that through my lens of having step-family.

Teppy read it right. Sorry for the confusion.

Score one for the step-kid!
Daylight Savings weekend means I'm already ready for bed at 9:20. Good lord. On the other hand, since The Boy had double-hernia surgery Wednesday, I've been taking care of him AND doing all the housework and pet feeding. I didn't realize how much it is for one person.
Also? I was right 11 months ago when I moved in and said I could NEVER clean the litter boxes because the litter dust would trigger an asthma attack.

had to prove it the hard way AND very thankful for a functional inhaler
