I need a better excuse to cancel on my cousin's fiance's wedding shower other than, "I'm really anxious this week and cannot deal with people".
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

Thrive to spite them
billy that sounds like a wonderful adventure!!
sj- I think that's a legit reason but could you blame it on another ailment - head cold, possible migraine, possible mild food poisoning, unspecified GI distress that means you have to stay close to home?

I feel it is a legit reason too, just not one my family can comprehend. I'm feeling a little better now, and I have the gift basket looking all pretty. So, depending on how I sleep tonight, maybe I'll go after all. I really hate going to big social things without either TCG or Mom. Mom is in FL, and it's an all female wedding shower.
ETA: And if I decide I can't go, gastric distress is usually a good one. It's also usually true, since all my stress goes to my stomach.

We use that all the time, more for Tom than me... but we both do this.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Sounds like a migraine to me, sj.
I don't enjoy lying... but until I live in a world where "I'm really anxious this week and cannot deal with people" is understood and respected, those are migraine symptoms.

yeah for the tea family.
sj, migraines and gastric distress are excellent excuses. Especially if you give a hint of "stomach flu." no one wants to be around that.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
So, 6 weeks later (I searched the thread to be sure), we finally watched The Losers. WHY didn't I see that when it was in theaters??? Good stuff! And I assume a sequel would be impossible with Chris Evans since he's locked into Marvel movies now. Which is too bad, because Jensen was THE BEST.

I'm at the shower. There is wine.

Jensen was THE BEST.
Sometimes when I'm down I'll just find the elevator scene on YouTube and watch it. Perks me right up.
Sj, I hope the shower isn't too stressfull.
