"My mother sucks the joy from the universe and the youth from her daughters. God save us all." Dear lord, how true this can be. Hopefully the new apartment will keep her busy (cranky, I know, but BUSY) and give her somewhere to direct her energies. I really think part of the problem is that she has too much time on her hands, and that lets her think up evil things to do to people who have little defense against her.
"We did not pretend to be single or available or interested … as far as I can tell it was about stating our intentions clearly before leaving her house." Agreed, but I still stand by my earlier statement of "be careful what you wish for" - that was an interesting evening, but still a little weird. For a remark made mostly in jest it certainly came true, albeit in a manner we couldn't have anticipated. More on that some other time...
Received an email from favortite son this morning!

Re: Gmom. That's exactly how I explained her cruelty to Starr. (Yes, her name is Starr.) We are SO going to have to keep an eye on M-- once she's put herself into Gmom's clutches. Thank God Starr intends to work one or two days a week; my daughter is going to need a weekend (just to stay sane) and Gmom would rather she didn't...have a weekend OR stay sane, I mean.
Re: Our weird evening. I know that parts of the night were hard on you, I didn't mean to be flippant. I'm grateful though that we had a chance to be together. BTW, R-- and I are not coming in on New Year's Eve. We will absolutely be going on January 7th though. I wonder who will show up that night??
Re: Private D--. YEAH! I sent him a chatty note last night.
Re: Snow. Have great fun with you snowfight. I'm stranded for the time being but as a result, M-- and I will be skipping tomorrow's Family Celebration in order to clean the apartment before January 1st. That's a mixed blessing.
That must be a wonderful place to live to see a grouse on Christmas morning! What a beautiful gift.
I've been very lazy this week, too. There's a slew of new toys around the house that need homes, but I've been avoiding the task. Maybe I'll have more energy next week.
4 pumpkin pies??? You either have a large family, or a --large-- family. ;o)
