A friend's mother is in an assisted living place where you have to prepay for X number of meals a month. Sometimes at the end of the month, it's steaks all around.
If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

I had been thinking of assisted living as being like college, but that is so much better!
It is like college! She goes to class every day, they do crafts and go to the gym, and they have movie night every night. On Saturday's they have a tea and finger sandwiches, and usually have live music and dancing! In fact, she likes it so much she doesn't want to bother with Thanksgiving with us, she'd rather have dinner there (we = chopped liver)
Really? Isn't that the point of offering a formal dinner once a month? To encourage family to come too.
Probably! I hadn't thought of it like that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Living. The. Dream.

Aw! That might take it a little far....

I keep telling my husband that we are soooo moving in there. The rooms are nice, they have kitchenettes, and if you miss a meal, there's always sandwiches and cookies in the game room. AND they all have a killer view of the LA basin. I'm so there!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Theo, it would take all the restraint in the world for me to not go off on an ant-vax person. And I have more ammo.
Suela, just readind your list made me tired.
Three hour derby practice tonight and my knees are feeling every second of their 41 years.

I went to knitting group tonight. We meet in the cafe of the local Barnes and Noble and one of the group found this book which was just hilarious in it's seriousness. OMG.

OMG! That is pretty hilarious, sumi. I could probably make everything in that book 10 times over with the amount of cat hair in our house daily.

I will totally move in there. With Jesse and other buffistas, we can play scrabble and be crotchety and it would be awesome.
