unknownfateWell, you lucked out.
My internet connection died on my last night in the middle of a self-pity party post I was throwing for myself. So now all you fine people won't have to hear about how I hid from my Mother and only made things worse for myself. And wow, did I pay for it. That woman has a gift for making me feel like dirt. I should be too old for such behavior. What can I say? I'm just well-trained, I guess.
On the other hand, when I stomped out to the dumpster with a bunch of boxes, snorting and grumbling to myself, the Northern Lights were out and quite beautiful.
This morning, my bed felt soooo good. I hated every minute I was out of it. Until I got to eat a bunch of cookies. We had the Christmas programs for the little people. They sang and danced and their parents brought cookies. I ate several, but I didn't fill up my pockets like several people I saw did. Now, I know I'm just a hillbilly redneck child, but even I think it's tacky to go to a three-year old's Christmas recital and steal as many refreshments as you can get out the door with. Yeesh.
Then again, maybe there were sick children or old people at home who weren't going to get any Christmas treats this year except for what their loving relatives brought them. Maybe they were just plain hungry. You never know. Judge not and all that kind of thing.
However I don't remember anybody saying anything about Gripe Not,(except for my mom...) so I'm gonna keep doing that.

Date: 2006-12-15 02:10 pm (UTC)I think we are going to be sisters bonded by maternal browbeating this festive season. I'm not even home yet, and Mum rang me last night to tell me that your box was home, but she had hidden it, lest I find it and tear it open the second I get home.... any sign of mine??

Did you have to ASK?
