'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
mac has a birthday party to get to in hour and a half. He has been up since at least 7 and done nothing but watch shows. I just got up and am trying to get him moving to make the party and he is throwing up a royal stink. To the point of suggesting that if he skips te party he should be able to keep the gift. SRSLY?!? kid.
I think I'll just go about my morning and let him work his way out of this funky mood on his own.
Kid logic is so creative.
brenda, what about dinner for the MBA and something sort of commemorative for the wedding? A handmade quilt? Wineglasses? Something they would both keep and actually use.

That only works when you're a grownup.

Yeah. I'm thinking along those lines. Maybe I can research whatever's traditional in Russia.
Speaking of people who may never get around to getting married, my mother and grandmother are all worked up about my cousin's engagement. @@ does not fully express the extent to which I am rolling my eyes about this. I'm sure (and told them) the issue is event planning, not the relationship -- he's out of the country most of the time, and she's a lawyer working crazy hours. I mean, seriously. Not that I have any real evidence for this, but still. My aunts were together for 20 years before they got married! OK, that was a slightly different situation...
I once saw a really pretty collection of Christmas ornaments, each of which stood for some kind of blessing on the marriage or whatever. Like, bread for bounty or something (but not that, you know?). I'm not having much luck finding it, but I liked the idea of something the couple would use every year.
Ellie also has a party today. Frisco has been a total crying mess all morning. I think he didn't get enough sleep due to the wine spill. Either way I feel like a bad mom because I'm already sick of him.
Oh, mac. Hahahahahahahaha! Nice try. He really reminds me of Olivia. She has that kind of devious logic.
Holy CRAP. The conversation just reminded me to look at a party invite of Sara's, which I thought was for next week. Um, it's today. At three.
Quite the party day today.
My barber forgot the appointment. So much for my sense of external responsibility. Now I have to kill time until she shows.
