'Underneath'
[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.
Mmm, noodle kugel.
Glad meara got in okay, and fingers crossed Calli make it home, too!
Beverly, what a lovely and thoughtful gift. Yay DH.
Man, the Hobbit was exhausting. I did get some boots for work and a hat, not as much of a bargain as I had hoped.
My brother has been so damn cranky, I don't know what his damage is. It seems like every time I say anything to him he snaps at me. He's having self-imposed alone time, I hope it helps.
I love noodle kugel. Our family makes a savory one--yum! But crazy amounts of dairy fat, with sour cream, cream cheese, AND butter in it.
Etiquette question for alla y'all. A few months ago, my dad's side of the family had a reunion for the whole giant extended family, and I saw relatives I hadn't seen in years. One of my cousins who was there has a new wife, and I exchanged maybe 2 or 3 sentences with them (and this cousin is among those I haven't seen in years). His wife is expecting a baby in March, and I got a baby shower invitation today.
Can I just send a gift from their registry and a note? I might just be excessively post-holiday cranky today, but I feel like, Really? I haven't seen you for years, I didn't actually even know you were re-married or expecting a baby, and we exchanged maybe 3 sentences at the reunion, and you want me to go to a baby shower?
Send a small gift and skip the shower? Is that okay?
I think that's totally okay.
Of course that is ok , but they could be trying to reconnect - however awkardly
For those interested in seeing the family portrait commission DW got for me: [link] Still love it so much!
Steph, totally.
Glam, it's adorable!! Love it. Way to go, Glamwife!!
Went out with a couple of HS friends tonight - it had been at least a decade since I'd seen one, and almost two decades since they'd seen each other. We had a good time catching up, and the two hours went too quickly, but the place closed at ten and we were all clearly tired. I think bumping up my Zoloft is really zapping my energy, so I guess it's good I did it over the holidays.
Bed now. Tomorrow I get to see amyth!!!! And I hope Calli! And many other friends. Yay.
Send a small gift and skip the shower? Is that okay?
Oh yeah. It's more than okay.
I vote okay. An invitation does not obligate you to send a gift, IMNSHO.
Oh, on the shower thing, I agree with Vortex. No need to attend or even send a gift unless you want to. We included a few people in our shower invites that we were like, "Should we?" We did because we didn't want anyone to feel left out. But several of them RSVPed no and did not send a gift, which was absolutely fine. You should do what makes you comfortable. There will be many people showering them with gifts, I'm sure.
