This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

[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 must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

We're watching the Black Adder Christmas Carol. I had no idea such a thing existed, yet there it is. My niece and nephew are at their significant others', so there won't be any gift opening tonight. Tomorrow we'll be waiting until the kids get up to unwrap gifts. The youngest is 18, so gift opening may not happen until lunch.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Or someone getting arrested. Scary shit either way, P-C.

Yeah, "Put your hands up" is a very cop thing to say, right? But wouldn't the police knock on the stall and let me know things were okay? Isn't it their job to make me feel safe, godddammit?

I feel better today. Joshua Jackson jogged right past me!

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Jilli, Greg is jealous of the Pete's present.

when she's mad, her heart is too small.

Aw, Liv. I love it when kids are so smart. Good idea to tell Kara about Prep and Landing. She liked that show.

Nick and Kylie, my FiL and his boyfriend all just left. We opened the FiL and Nick and Kylie presents. Nick was thrilled with his apple pie kit and Kylie loved her bracelet.

Aidan just gave me big kisses. "You're so awesome, Aidan." Aidan: Yes, I AM awesome.

Gonna go give the kids a bedtime snack and put them to bed now.

ETA: Kara asks if next week is good for you, Jilli.

Very nice present giving, Jilli!

One day with family survived, two more to go.

My cousin made an extremely racist comment tonight, and then got mad at me for swearing.

Deena, it sounds like you had a very nice evening; I'm so glad. The kids must be getting so big. I need to see pictures of them.

Well, that fucking sucks!

I hung out with another awesome Ryan on this side of the planet, my baby nephew. He is so jovial and happy and adorable!

We gave the older kids the usual Heifer gifts plus multi-cultural type books, which was met with the kind of enthusiasm one might expect from 5 and 7 year old kids. Which is to say, not so much! I am OK with that though.

So tired- but going to New Orleans tomorrow! Whoo!

Yay, New Orleans!

Thanks, Nora. All I said was, "I can't fucking believe you said that.". Normally I wouldn't swear in my mother's house, but it was just a gut response.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Normally I wouldn't swear in my mother's house, but it was just a gut response.

I think it was an appropriate response. But I would also consider a smack to the back of the head appropriate as well.
