'Serenity'
[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 drop my parents off at malls when they get insane about needing to shop near Christmas.
My sister has just tasked me, however, with buying her electronics and laundry detergent. Which all has to be done today, because I won't be able to drive tomorrow before the flight. I kinda of hate her.
Someone is wearing bells today. I don't know whether to be charmed or homicidal.
The guy she tried to put a bell on put it succinctly: "I don't want a bell! I'm not a cow!"
Barb, much sanity~ma to you.
Must.not.kill.neighbors. They are continually slamming doors today. I have never met people who need to leave and come back as often as these people.
~ma for smonster's sister.
Gads, I wish I could do that. But she's got the bad knee (that she was supposed to have surgically repaired two YEARS ago, but keeps putting off) and is walking with a cane and needs someone to carry packages and... and...
Hmm, maybe some bonding time with Grandma for the children?
Empress! Is your address still the same? I have books to send you, finally.

Oh Barb, rent her a wheelchair with a basket, and use her as a battering ram through the crowds. Pile the basket and then her lap with the packages. You're behind her, pushing, and it's crowded, so you "can't hear" what she's saying, so she'll just have to point where she wants to go.
No, passive-aggressive? Me? Not the least tiny little bit. Good luck with your mom. Try very very hard to remember you're not responsible for one thing she does or says, you're just there as a sherpa, and don't let it affect your mood or your holidays. Blessings on you for being dutiful.
In me news, StY called this morning--the package I mailed off on Monday actually arrived today, and safely. Now all he has to do is zhujzh the bows! I've a few more cards to write notes in and address, but if they arrive before New Years--or Old Christmas, it's still good.
I love Bev so much.
I actually may go to the mall today, but this particular mall is nearly never busy, even at Xmas, so it's not so bad.
