Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

I am sick to my stomach and also want to eat everything in the house.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The cousin and family are here. MIL has decreed an early night, which is good, because I had to take a muscle relaxant earlier because my back was killing me, so I am slightly loopy. Bedtime should be approaching soon, and I'm preparing to check us in for the flight.

Our shuttle to the airport leaves a little before 5 tomorrow.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Dang, Dana. Quite a vacation.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I am sick to my stomach and also want to eat everything in the house.

That sounds like a completely appropriate reaction.

Thrive to spite them

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

mac was just in a wreck and the car is totaled. so that happened, not even 1 week with the license.

Holy fuck.

I'm glad he's okay.

Emmett was just telling me how glad he was that he wasn't driving as a teenager. "I was in a car with a 16 year old driving and it was the most terrifying experience of my life!"

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, mac, no, mac, no.

I got nothing else, msbelle; I'm sitting here starting to sympathetically hyperventilate just thinking about it.

(Yes, Catholics still fast, but the fast has now been reduced to 1 hour before communion, not even 1 hour before mass, so really about 20 minutes before mass starts. Some people bring their Starbucks mugs in with them, but most people consider that tacky (also, I am pretty sure they would only dare to try coffee shenanigans in San Francisco)).

Oh jeez, msbelle. It's not any consolation, but I was in an accident within a week of my license. But car wasn't totallled.

Dominic got his learner's permit today. He's not super excited to be driving, especially cause he knows when he gets to drive solo, it will be one of his dad's car picks, not mom's.

mac will probably never have main use of a car again until after he graduates. he still has no job and he will have to save money towards the next one.

I second this. Not only an appropriate reaction, but probably the only one that doesn't involve throttling the kid.
