Holy crap, I didn't know that my cousin was in Haiti herself until Sunday!
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also, why does my grandmother keep calling me? I swear, she calls more now that we see each other every week. I don't actually have that much to say to her! And also, I'm supposably working, so I just didn't answer. At least she left a message, which she often doesn't.

OH no! Poor poor Homer!
I too am up earlier than I'd like. I should go make lunch for myself yet I feel relatively uninspired to do so.

My friend Judy talks to her dad Every. Single. Day. on the phone. Which is amazing and all of that contact, I think, is a result of the fact that Judy's husband died last year and her Dad is in his 90s. I thought, maybe I SHOULD call my mom every day. But what would I say?

Yeah, I think that amount of contact is odd. I know it's not uncommon, but it's just not my way. With my parents, I've generally stuck with the rules we set when I left for college -- talk on the phone Sunday at 7pm, and that's it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Up too early, waahh. Have been killing time, don't appreciate it.
Me too. Woke up at 4:00. Hate that.

Sad about Teddy Pendergrass. My mom is a huge fan.

My parents and I don't have rules about it. But I called my mom the day before her birthday to let her know we got a box she had sent. I told her that I'd call back the next day, on her birthday and she said, "Don't bother just tell me happy birthday today." But then I pointed out that Noah wanted to sing for her on Skype and she wanted that. She likes talking to Noah more than me.

Sunday night is my usual talk to the parents deal. Carried over from when Sunday night was call the grandparents. But I'll call them if something else is up. Buying the house, well, for that I ended up talking pretty much daily.
Got here so damned early,and the thing is? I have a 4 pm meeting that WILL run long, so it's gonna be a long day. And that was after lying on the bed, giving the cats attention until even they got bored procrastinating.

I talk to my parents every weekend, email during the week. My DH used to talk to his mother every day, and it used to drive me nuts because they didn't have enough new to talk about. After you'd told her some story about your day she'd say, "What else?" when there was nothing else.
Baby woke up at 4:44 a.m. today, didn't go back down, I have 4 classes to teach (2 mine and 2 for someone whose mother passed away suddenly) and I'll be here until almost 9 p.m. doing that.
