Guest echtrae Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 Certainly, about as ready as I'll ever be. I suppose I could have sounded a bit more enthusiastic, couldn't I? Quote
dazzledfirestar Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 You could, but I don't expect you to. Should I expect more from people? Quote
Guest echtrae Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 You should expect no more than they are willing to give. Our expectations probably need to be pretty low then, wouldn't you say? Quote
dazzledfirestar Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 I would. Is that a bit sad? Quote
Guest echtrae Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 Probably, but what are you going to do about it? (A&Q) Quote
dazzledfirestar Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 Nothing... that would require effort and Christmas preparations have tired me out. Who decided that shortbread woud be necessary at Christmas? Quote
AmyMcClair Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 Bury my head in the sand and pray for good favor among the people of whom I expect something. Do you expect things of many people? Quote
dazzledfirestar Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 No not really. Why did I do my hair before I had anything else done? Quote
AmyMcClair Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 Because it takes the longest and thus must be alotted the most amount of time. Did it get mussed by anything else you were doing? Quote
dazzledfirestar Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 Yeah, I hadn't washed my face yet! Not exactly my finest hour! Should I take anything to dinner with my in-laws? Quote
AmyMcClair Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 Well, I would say strong liquor, but since you're preggers I suggest good humor and sock puppets for bashing when you get frustrated. Does that help? Quote
dazzledfirestar Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 If I had a sock puppet, yes it would Am I the only one with in-laws from hell? Quote
AmyMcClair Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 Nope, mine have been calling my house every other day for the last six weeks confirming what presents are for which people, even though the boxes are clearly marked. Should I be happy that I don't have to spend x-mas dinner with them? Quote
dazzledfirestar Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 Yes. You are blessed by that, trust me. I wonder though... Do my parents come off as crazy as hubby's? Quote
AmyMcClair Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 To him, maybe. I know my hubbie thinks my mother is a complete psycho. Should it concern me that I think he might be right on some level? Quote
Guest kirameki Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 Edit: aww, beaten too it. Quote
AmyMcClair Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 Don't feel bad kirameki, it happens to us all. Have we scared away a newbie? Quote
dazzledfirestar Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 I hope not... the only people I want to scare are my in-laws. Are we really that terrifying? Quote
AmyMcClair Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 I have been accused of being rather scary sometimes although apparently I am cute when I am frustrated. Should I take offense to that last part? Quote
dazzledfirestar Posted December 24, 2006 Report Posted December 24, 2006 Not unless you consider "cute" an insult. Do you? Quote
Guest echtrae Posted December 24, 2006 Report Posted December 24, 2006 That would depend upon my mood, but most likely, I would just laugh. Does it really have to be like this? Quote
quamp Posted December 24, 2006 Report Posted December 24, 2006 Why'd we have to come all this way We could have quit while we were way ahead Why'd we have to come all this way We could have just stayed home instead The road was long and the journey was hard We never even dreamed that we'd come so far Why did we come all this way Why did we come all this way Why did we come all this way Why did we come all this way It didn't have to end up like this It didn't have to end up like this It didn't have to end up like this It didn't have to end up like this Is there a way I can weasel out of being with my family? They make the Malcom in the Middle bunch look happy and functional in comparison. Quote
Leonhart29 Posted December 24, 2006 Report Posted December 24, 2006 Noy unless you want a steak through the heart. Is anyone's family "normal"? Quote
Guest echtrae Posted December 24, 2006 Report Posted December 24, 2006 Of course, but normal is such a relative term. Why do we have to sleep? Quote
Leonhart29 Posted December 24, 2006 Report Posted December 24, 2006 Because we'd all start to hallucinate horribly and try to screw the closest Klingon. Why am I so attracted to really bad serial space shows? Quote
