Oh, good, I'm glad he's being nice. I hope you, C, or J got pictures!
Smonster, that's quite the recipe box.
A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I keep waiting to hear my mom make some horrible remark about FSIL when she's not here, but instead she keeps saying nice things about her. I just heard her tell a story about how the gods have blessed their marriage and everyone who's met her really likes her.
It's still really, really confusing to me, after all these years. I keep expecting it to all fall apart.

Maybe your father threatened her to play nice? Or your brother has black mail material? Or maybe your mother has been abducted by aliens and this is a clone!

Well, this also means that I am definitely the worst child now.

I wanna see pics of zombie M!
Apologies for any near vomit experiences resulting from recipe descriptions. It was a hoot going through them.
We had a lovely day, all told. No tears, minimal snapping. My brother seems to be kind of testy, not sure what that's about. Everyone got at least one zinger in one someone else. We ended the day snacking on cheese and crackers and apples and cookies, drinking a bit of wine. We read Lucy and Tom's Christmas and watched the Snowman, and listened to my mother read from Luke.
I just heard my brother guffaw from down the hall - he's reading Jenny Lawson's book.
Tomorrow we're going to see the Hobbit and maybe stop by REI, and then I'm having dinner with a friend or two from high school.

Xpost with P-C: sounds like she's rewriting history to suit herself. I wonder if you'd ask her and she'd swear she was in favor from the start.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I suspect she has a difficult time dealing with her fears and anxieties for her children, tries to control her children to protect them, freaks out when they don't do as they're told, but is relieved and happy when they are not only okay but doing well.
Just my guess.

Dinner is done. Dishes are done. And since replacment tracks aren't coming in tomorrow, house guest as decided to travel back to San Diego. As soon as Mom leaves, I will have my house again! The introvert in me is very happy!
