I hear you, Tep. One of my cousins is a narcissist of the highest order. She called the day before my mom's funeral to say "Jon wants to come to the service. I hope that's okay." Jon is her ex-husband who was a TOTAL dick to her and the rest of the family during and after the marriage. My mom really disliked him. We told her we'd rather not have him there and she said "Well, I already I told him he could come. I assume if I'm okay with it, you all should be." My brother wanted to strangle her. WHY ARE YOU TELLING PEOPLE WHO WERE ASSHOLES TO MY MOM AND DAD FOR YEARS THAT THEY CAN COME TO THE FUNERAL SERVICE?
Oh, look at the pretties!

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Our wings are not tired.
{{Buffistas}} Y'all deserve better families and I am grateful to be a part of your chosen family.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
I am so grateful to have all of you.

And then families get so bent out of shape that you don't want to participate in the familial soap opera.

Oh man, that sounds awful. I admit, I'm sad to not see my BIL and sister since I'm not going home for Christmas, but other than that? Meh. Especially my brother the troll (literally was banned from commenting at the NYTime, apparently!)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I've been feeling sort of self-pitying because we don't have family to celebrate with. After reading about all of your families, I'm just going to be over here watching the neighbors' lights and sipping eggnog, glad my husband and son will be here in a a day or two so we can have our own small celebration. Yes, there will be people we miss, but we'll have each other, and at least at the moment, no axes to grind.

I'm sorry about that Teppy . I hope you and Tim and your brother and SIL can have a good Christmas.

I am home from Matthew's. We still have a lot of snow. I also dropped the sweater I got dad in the mud. I wasnt sure if it was the right color so i was going to tell him I could exchange it. Now I can't because it is muddy. Hopefully I can wash it and it will be fine.
I also realized I don't know where the reimbursement check from the dental insurance is and I never deposited it and need to find it or call about them cutting a new one.
However when I went to say goodbye to Scrappy he was chilling in his cat bed we got him and didn't run when I went to pick him up.

Scrappy is wise, askye!
