I love my footie pajamas, ftr. So cozy.
I also love Tom's DNS explanation. So clear.
Buffy: Where are the burgers? Riley: Yeah man, I'm starving. Cow me. Xander: I'd love to make with the moo but the fire's not cooperating.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I also am the freak who started to call him Dad and "your dad" when talking to the kids.
I don't think that is freaky - my family almost always adjusts someone's title to that of the youngest person there (like we all call my grandma GG when any of the great-grandkids are around). Then again, if I am talking to anyone in my family, I refer to the other family members as "your XXX". Like to my brother, "have you talked to your parents?". To my mother, "Did your husband tell you that I called?"

I still stumble over referring to my parents as Grandma and Grandpa to the nephews. But once when I called Dad Dad, D got all indignant. "That's not dad, that Grandpa!"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, it seems weird to say "my mom" when talking to my kids and nieces and nephews. Those times she's Grandma Enie. (Eanie? Short for Enid.)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
When I was about six, my brothers and I decided to call our parents M and D. And occasionally Ma and Pa Kettle.
I call Wallybee Sweetie most of the time, and occasionally Baobei (Chinese, more or less, for "My Precious". And now I'm curious to see LotR dubbed in Mandarin.)

I have been to the store and purchased wine that I will bring to a New Year's Eve party. Now I need to make chili and freeze most of it so I'll have something to eat when I get back, and pack my bag.
Getting out of bed is the first step.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
And that went into my cart with my textbook.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Somehow I managed to get a paper cut on the outside of my left little fingertip today. I put a band-aid around it, but it still stings.
I'm trying to send out my Christmas thank-you notes. Typing the addresses to print on the labels is not supposed to be more painful than composing the notes themselves.
