Toddson, develop a minor but wretchedly infectious illness just before you're due to leave.

Actually, I think I'm developing arthritis (it runs in the family) and it looks like driving for three hours is going to be painful (although that won't suffice for my family - several years ago I started a job in October - which meant I hadn't accumulated any vacation time - and had a raging sinus infection and my mother threw what amounted to a temper tantrum when I said I couldn't go up; she insisted that my boss would let me take the time off if I said it was to spend Christmas with her).

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Y'all make me happy that my family is the way it is. I'm sure my mom would be thrilled if we spent xmas with them. But she gets why we don't. ( hate flying this time of year -- and I love traveling) And even DH's family seem to get it. ( CT is too cold!) And none of them would throw a temper tantrum. That's one of those things that would keep me from visiting. I just don't do drama.
and in important days -- someday I will remember our anniversary without looking in my ring. I thought it was Tuesday, but it is Wednesday ( which is better). Too funny that DH remembers, and I don't.

Yeah, he's go "Oh, it's Toddson's mother. I'm sorry, I didn't realize."

I saw this dress when shopping the other night and am still coveting it. [link] I didn't dare try it on in case I really loved it - is expensive!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Oooh, GC - pretty! But - HELLA expensive.
Vortex - man, this sucks. I like Typo's approach, but (as someone who won't have to deal with the tears in person, and is safe on the other side of the planet) I have to say that Brenda's approach has a definite appeal too.
Boundary-ma to you.

Oh, and a note. Sears had the best prices and wides selection of PJs for short people. Also Sears has separate selections for waist and height instead of just having to choose petite, medium, large, etc. Penny's learn from this.
