So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Cause of death was hanging, wasn't it?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

My BFF doesn't think the 30-50 feral hogs thing is funny. I have to share this somewhere because I can't stop laughing.

Tim and I have been cracking up about it all week.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

She also doesn't find George Carlin funny, although she likes him. She just finds him painfully real. While I don't find Red Dwarf or Black Adder funny. Like Jesse says, different people are different

Timelies all!

We leave for Dublin tomorrow night. Which means I have to pack ALL THE THINGS tonight.

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

Yay, Dublin!

I'm still trying to figure out when the fun part of vacation starts with an almost 4 year old. I think it's after she goes to bed and Victor starts mixing drinks.

Also, not Jeff Epsteinish. I know I have talked about finding my father's family and not connecting with me, because it is overwhelming. It is my new sister's 70th bithday. I am realizing if I wait for my mom to die, my siblings will also be older as they are far closer to her age than mine. I think I want to make contact, and I totally do not want to tell my mother and deal with that. I know my BFF thinks that is a terrible decision and thinks I should tell my mom, but I think she really does not understand dysfunctional relationships (nor does my father's family) Like I think they think I am being unreasonable thinking that it will flip my mom out in a bad way! I am thinking of doing the Employee Assistance Program to just talk about this, but I also kind of wish I could just seek some of the nurses I work with for therapy outside of work, because they already know me!

FYI, my mom is only 4 years older than my sister, but they were all adults in their twenties when I was born

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think a therapist sounds like a great place to work this stuff out, Sophia!

I'm going to kill my mother -- she didn't look at the block party sign-up sheet, so she's already made potato salad, when that's what I signed up for! So I'll make this, which will be delicious, but which means I have to go back to the store.

My understanding is, in about six years. Sorry.

Yeah, it's going to be interesting on this trip with Mr.S, especially the way he's been behaving lately. Part of the time will be spent at Worldcon, where there will be children's programming, and licensed childcare(which we have already signed up certain blocks of time for), but the rest of the time? We'll be doing some sightseeing, and trying to keep him out of trouble.
