Sorry, Pix, while I am fully in support of your mission, I pledged myself to Atropa's goal years ago. I will be the one standing near the throne calmly saying "Does the entire opposing group really need to be wiped out in a cinematic froth of blood, or do you need a snack?" I can easily imagine Tickybox as the princeling sprawled over a chair drawing satirical sketches of courtiers.
Bev, OF COURSE B. is rebuilding the shed and being paid in noms! Because that is who he is. If'n I were the neighbor in question, I would be documenting the crap out of this and making polite inquiries of a lawyer, but I completely understand their not having the funds/fortitude for such a thing.
And now I want pie.
Timelies all!
Today is my MIL's birthday, so we had a socially-distanced dinner at her place. Originally the idea was to eat in her backyard, but a serious thunderstorm came up, so we ate in her garage,(Her at a table on one side of the car, us at a table on the other side of the car.) It was interesting...
Her at a table on one side of the car, us at a table on the other side of the car.
Oh, my. This is now the world we live in...
I'm trying to get my bosses to sign onto a plan in which I load my laptop, my bike, and my dog into my hatchback and drive to Colorado, where I crash with my brother's family for a month. Change of scene, change of pace, biking and hiking and games with the kids. Could be great. But I have to get permission to go, and have to figure out how to do a two-day drive safely...
Atropa, do you still need me to be a decorative piece? I can slounge very well - I've been praticing!
That sounds so nice, Consuela! Good luck with the official okay.
That sounds good, Consuela. Make it happen.
I'm having a grandson. Had big family joint video call. I'm delighted. My poor MIL though. She has 6 grandsons and now the first great grandchild is a boy too. This be how the Holt genes roll. She's still hoping for a girl someday. I did remind her she could have tea parties with boys and she agreed.
That kind of thing is so funny -- we are mostly girls on both sides of my family!
Congrats!!
Sorry, I didn't mean to post and disappear yesterday. The day got away from me, and ltc didn't fall asleep until very late and today was very stressful, and now she is still not sleeping!
I'm definitely leaning toward trying to rent it. I'll have to make some phone calls tomorrow. I'm worried that if we decide not to go and can't rent it that TCG will be annoyed at the maintenance fee we paid earlier in the year.
Oh never fear! Atropa and I will not be competing. The Vampire Witch Queen and the Queen of Fucking About are bosom allies.
