I'm getting annoyed with people that have never made any effort to see us when they're in town who are now insistent on seeing us because we have a baby and then don't want to accommodate our schedule in any way. So sorry people we did not stop having a life because we had a baby.

[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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The baby will be available for viewing Tuesday-Thursday 1-3pm. Tickets are available at your local Ticketmaster. Limited seating. First come first served. No refunds.

Heh! I was joking that instead of Christmas gifts this year I should have just given out gift certificates that allowed the recipient to hold the baby for one hour.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
People who want to see a family with a newborn but are unwilling to fit the baby's schedule are generally either people who never had a baby or who had one so long ago they forgot what it's like.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Yeah, that seems to fit the pattern, Burrell. Although, in this case it is our schedule not hers. It's the 11th anniversary of our first date tonight, and we don't technically celebrate it since we got married, we do try to go out to eat and have a nice relaxing, we survived Christmas, dinner. We have a groupon that is going to expire this week if we don't use it. So we're going out tonight, and I can't change our reservations for dinner any later because then we won't have ltc in bed by her usual time.

For goodness sake, folks also should be understanding of your needs too!
oh, and congrats to both of you for meeting the right person, that's well worth celebrating

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Yeah, stuff those people.
askye, sending you lots of fortitude. Ask for help if you need it.
Still in NC but increasingly antsy to be home in NOLA. Sis is not doing well, but we are going shopping today so that should be fun. Got a couple more friends to see before I go.

And now my mom's cousin is making snarky comments on a Facebook post I made about relaxing because she can't relax because she's trying to see us. Not responding.

Turns out I'm afraid of the dark. Not just that atavistic, disorienting shock that occurs when the power goes out and your cave suddenly becomes unfamiliar terrain. I'm afraid to leave the house after dark. I'm not sure why. I figure it's been a factor all my life, but I had my beloved with me, so I was never afraid.
But once I get home from work, the idea of leaving the house after I'm safe inside is horrifying. In the summer, when it's light, it just feels decadent to head out on an errand in the evening with the leisurely folk. In the winter, I feel like I have to hide. I told myself yesterday that I'd hit the Laundromat after work, but once I got home I couldn't do it. The only way I'm managing it tonight is because the laundry basket's already in the car. I've managed this in summer, so it's not just a case of "Tired after work, don't wanna."
I leave a light on in the house all the time, because I've seen too many scary shows to comfortably walk into a dark house and reach for the light switch.
