{{{{{P-C}}}}} I'm sorry your sister is piling on to the guilt trip. Stay strong.
I need to stop panicking and start getting stuff done. I really don't think I can handle this upcoming weekend. The house is still a mess, and I still feel like crap.
[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.

I just got into my office and checked my messages, and I've got another phone interview. This one is for a job in Savannah.
Ooohh, Savannah! 3rd oldest Reform Congregation in the US at Mickve Israel, which is a lovely Gothic synagogue right in downtown. My grandmother used to be a docent there.
Excuse me, 3rd oldest Jewish congregation in US period. [link] (caution for autoplay video)

The Tulane Hillel building had a "Shalom, y'all" sign. I vaguely recall seeing a documentary on southern Jews with that title, too.
My mom and I did a quick trolley tour of Savannah a few years ago--it's a really gorgeous city, but seems to be hard to drive around during a weekday. Check out their public transportation to see if it's any good!
P.-C., sorry this crap is coming at you from your little sister too. But glad your brother is on your side! Stay strong; you are a good person and you are doing the right thing, for them as well as yourself. Lying to them might smooth things out for a while, but eventually it would catch up to you. And, you'd feel like crap for lying to them, too.
Thanks, WS. I'm mostly just pissed off because I knew I couldn't handle hosting this party, and somehow I let myself be talked into it. I'm embarrassed by what a mess the apartment is, and I am embarrassed about how hard it is for me to get around right now.
I've been going to Savannah every year since I was a kid, since that's where my parents are from and my mom's whole side of the family still lives there. The downtown has evolved amazingly since SCAD moved in, though for better or worse is up for debate. One of my cousins (I think he's my dad's mom's cousin) owns a fancy and yummy restaurant there.
