I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

My love for Liese knows no bounds.

Aww, right backatcha.

Yeah, that's miserable, Julie. There's just no good there, and there's not a daggone lot you can do about it.

Also, aww, sarameg's parents.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Ooooh, this just in: the Washington Post has broken the story about the Obamapuppy:

"He's sooooo cute," the source said, referring, let us be clear, to the puppy. "It's very exciting. They had a great meeting."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Already tired of matzoh, and it's only day 3. Ah, well...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Erm, I was a bit angry last night.

Pops is now spending half his Easter visiting me by visiting some random church. God wins again. Yes, I could have been big and offered to go with him in spite of my beliefs, but Poppy always puts his god before me and family, so I'm not much with the bigness.

When did holidays turn into perennial Daddy-issue/god-issue days?

Sorry Juliebird, that sounds rough.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

You want people around you who love you as you get old and are dying? Treat the people around you decent.

I had pretty much the same conversation with my dad about his mother.

Oh, Julieb, I'm so sorry. I'm sure that the holiday AND the prospect of dying relatives is stressing out your dad something awful, even though I'm betting he knows your quite rational reasons for being angry.

I haven't done the slightest bit of Easter-celebration, but that soon should change once I get myself dressed and Out of the house.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Emmett was the Easter Cheer-bunny this morning. Waking Matilda up and whipping her into a chocolate consuming frenzy. He hid the Easter eggs in the back yard. While she staggered around in a muzzy, just-woken state he hopped around and pointed out all the eggs until she got very excited about the hunt. We came back upstairs for pancakes, and they played with their new stuffed animals (Matilda got a kitty named Waffle. Emmett finally got his finger monkey, named Pancake.) Then he helped get her dressed her Easter dress (he tied the bow, and got her shoes on) and she shot off to church with JZ.

Now he's watching an Arrested Development marathon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh! I knew there was a reason I wanted to go to a drug store after church, but I couldn't remember what it was -- CANDY. Der. Maybe later.
