Damnit! I hadn't hit anything for AGES!

[shihadchick]

I have a horrible feeling I never mentioned that I also got lovely Christmas cards from runaground and tehsunny, and from the adorable ms elucreh. So thank you guys, seriously. I have them all on my desk this year and so I keep getting distracted from typing to coo over your handwriting and all. (Rob, you acted in matters of correspondance this year, right? I ask only cos

sorry to hear your faily bits. :~(

i had a really truly faily bit too. also car related. managed to spin out exiting the freeway. ended up facing THE WRONG WAY on the offramp. with cars backing up behind me. shook so hard that the bloke behind me had to turn my car around for me and then i sat in the driver's seat on the side of the road as they all passed, waiting to calm down. speaking in a chirpy 'everything's FINE' voice to the kids. UGH UGH UGH. when did i become such a crap driver? i've had my license for lots and lots of years and NOW i start doing stupid things. UGH AGAIN.

oops. sorry to blither.

anyway. cheer up sausage. hope tomorrow balances more towards the awesome side.

[shihadchick]

oh, honey. *hugs YOU so so so tight* oh, man, that is terrifying indeed. it sounds like you did all the right mum things, at least, and hopefully that's the scaryhorrible driving experience out the way for you for at LEAST the next ten years. *hugs more, then sends Spencer to glare at the care and then lurk around being all competent and attractive until you feel better too*

i'm actually feeling pretty decent, really, more rueful than anything else. next time i will remember their driveway has that stupid curve at the very end! heh.

i hope your tomorrow balances more awesome, too. <3

when i'm trying a drive way for the first time i need to not have an audience. and them i'm ok after that. :~P

*brain short circuits*

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

i think i just need to have, y'know, light. i am normally an excellent reverser! i can even parallel park quite often and fairly well! in a manual! i just. yeah. i wasn't expecting the drive to kink there! and even less was i expecting low-flying letterboxes IN said kink! heh.

*IS HELPFUL!* :D

[mrsquizzical]

EDITS SOMETHING OUT.

i'm driving a van now, and have to get used to things. it's very different! i haven't done a successful parallel park yet. i need to get used to it without the peanut gallery. (particularly youngest who always says things like 'daddy can always do this like it's EASY. but for you it's really HARD.' *grits teeth*

you are so helpful!

ps. i'm deliberately not commenting on the eye stuff as i completely DO NOT COPE WITH THINGS IN EYES. just typing this is making mine water. but you know... *covers eyes with hand and waves other one towards you*... sympathy and all that.

[shihadchick]

*EDITS IN RETURN* :D we are stealth ninjas, yo.

ahhh, gotcha, yeah. vans are NOT EASY at all. i took a good while to adjust to driving the ute. (and oh dear, yes, that does make it trickier, too. eeek. *pets you*)

[mrsquizzical]

dude is it not really late for you?

i just made the most embarassingly rambling comment to jocondite that i am considering going to edit right this second.

except i'm sort of exhausted and maybe might go to sleep instead.

p.s. *snog*

[shihadchick]

um. *looks shifty*

sleep sounds like possibly a good idea, hon. and i'm sure jocondite will not mind at all anyhow. you're all charming when you think you're rambly, honest.

<3

[mrsquizzical]

i SHOULD sleep. i NEEEEED to sleep. but now i'm on a quest to find and tab the elusive 40 000 of jon/bden?

(and charming? i suspect not but you are so kind to say so!)

[shihadchick]

i should too. um. two thirty what? not that i woke up at six am this morning or anything. er. eek. also it was 40 K of Jon/Spencer, sorry. starts here, anyway. *is a terrible horrible no good very bad enabler*

(no, really, you are. you judge yourself way too harshly, dude.)

[mrsquizzical]

jon/spencer? even better! but now i'm dropping off over my fingers. or something that makes more sense.

thanks for the enabling though. and the other thing. :~P

[shihadchick]

yeaaaaaaaah, i'm getting tired-blind too. um. the optometrist may have also mentioned somethign about resting my eyes a bit in the next week, too. oops.

and np, bb. *smish*

[mrsquizzical]

oh right. the resting the eyes thing! *rolls mine* you should get on that bb. eyes aren't to be messed with! /stern

*cuddles*

[shihadchick]

i went to bed then! and i didn't come back for thirteen hours! okay, i spent most of that time READING paper books, but, um. *winning smile*?

[mrsquizzical]

.... *raises eyebrow*...

don't make me come over there.

(actually... ha! that would rock.)

[shihadchick]

there is a problem with your logic there, exactly. *continues to misbehave* :D
