Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Happy Birthday Shrift.

I just can't get motivated today. Also, mailman tried to deliver a package as I was in the shower. I could have caught him if I was willing to run out int he snow in my PJs, but I'll just pick it up tomorrow.

I am still in my PJs.

FedEx is on my shitlist. First they agree to hold delivery until the 3rd. And returned the package to the shipper on the 2nd. AND I STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS.

But I contacted the shipper and they'll retry. But still a mystery.

I've never been ice skating. Slipped around on frozen ponds in my sneakers up in the mountains, but that was it.

I need to vacuum and mop now. Or get dressed. I haven't because DUMdumDUM I was waiting for FedEx and they usually show up before noon, the asses.

I can't really remember learning to skate, but one of my coworkers is trying to get me to go skating at lunch. I haven't been on skates in 23 years! It's just like riding a bike, right?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I have ankle isues with single blade skates, ice or roller. After 3-4 times around a rink and I am in lots of pain. roller quads are much better, but I almost never go skating.

I need to clean and do laundry, but even after staying in bed until almost 12, I just want to go back. Coffee and food are not really helping.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Happy Birthday, Shrift!

I slept and slept this morning. I was in bed until, like, 10:30. I kept waiting for the dog to get up but he wouldn't. I finally had to just wake him up and carry him outside. Poor old guy. I slept so much but I totally could take a nap now. But I have to go for a long walk, possibly run, and then get myself fancied up for this wedding I'm going to this afternoon.

I officially tested in the bottom half percent for coordination, and was still able to learn to ice skate in a matter of hours.
