I'm back! Actually, we got back yesterday, but I caught a cold that manifested on Sunday and I wasn't up to LJing last night. I'm still trying to catch up, because between LJ drama and Yuletide, you were kind of chatty, flist. <3 ( Read more... )

Oy, so that was a week. I missed some birthdays - hope they were happy! That includes you, Canada ( Read more... )

My dad's cracking me up. My sister and I arrive earlier than our parents, so we'll get ourselves to the resort and check in. Every time I've talked to him on the phone for the past three weeks, he's mentioned that I need to print out the confirmation. When he emailed the confirmation (twice), he noted that I should print it out. And just now, he ( Read more... )

Hello, LJ! I hope everyone who's celebrating today is having a happy one. Our morning was a little funny/awkward because two of my sisters are getting new phones making up the bulk of their gift budgets, and the third had some pricey requests, too, so there was a lot of me and my parents opening stuff and the others watching ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday, shutthef_up!

And to everyone I missed in November. Hope they were great!

Query: My youngest sister is Not A Reader, but she devoured The Hunger Games in about a week. I'd like to recommend other books she might enjoy and was hoping my insightful and knowledgeable flist would have some ideas. ;-) She's not an SF/F person at all. The other ( Read more... )

I saw Kick-Ass last night, and as I told my friend afterwards, it was quality entertainment. Haha. But DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILDREN. ( Not all that spoilery )

Happy Birthday, freckles42!* We seem to have entered a phase where people are, once again, unable to spell or pronounce my name correctly. I understand logical slips, but when it's right in front of you because you're replying to the email I sent you, or when your chosen pronunciation doesn't make phonetic sense, that's a problem. It's one of my larger pet ( Read more... )

This trip has been exactly what I needed, and I think it'll end up being just the right length, too. I go home tomorrow night; one more day of not being at work, or thinking (much) about it, should be good for a recharge without leaving me overwhelmed with catch-up ( Read more... )

I know I've become a pretty awful LJ-er of late, and I am going to try my best to fix that. We're training a pack of new people at work, which is awesome for many reasons including helping to ease the overload of the past few months. I've been too brain-tired to do more than passively consume media and food between working and sleeping. Hoping to ( Read more... )

Woke up with a monster headache today - I think the Guitar Hero + too much food + spa time did it. Thankfully, there are ample painkillers in this house.

Very lazy day today. I've caught up on all of my missed television from last and this week (Gleeeeeeeeeee!) and spent a lot of quality time with the parents and sisters and cats. Kitties! <3 ( Read more... )
