Couch 127: The Wayward Couch

Ugh til 5 with puking puppy who got some treats he should not have had.
In 40 min i am supposed to be across town at brunch with friends and i dont even have pants on.
In 2 hours i am supposed to be hooking up a trailer with horses to go for a Christmas ride with neighbors
These plans dont go together really

But you said absolutely nothing to apologize for? She was just responding w a Merry Christmas? I hate seeing you beat yourself up over perceived social blunders-if anything, you are extremely careful in how you word your opinions.

At the best social events, pants are optional. IMO.

A Christmas couch just for us:

Totally agree . In American and English!

Which makes the quality of one's underg's even more important!

From another thread:

Tetralogy - it's Greek.

If not everyone is wearing pants I'm not going. No offense, just who I am.

That sounds monstrous!

Hey, you tried to combine a Greek root with a Latin root! Talk about monstrous!

Its a sign of genius to combine two previously unrelated things

Also, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing

Eta - so, combine my little knowledge of various things, and you get... CAAAAAAKE!!!!

Good morning and Merry Christmas for those who celebrate and if you have a different holiday this season well I wish you happy that too! I got a new purse from h and our son bought us a chromecast, he said he has decided that it is his duty to bring us into the 21 century haha!

Oh, and my sister got engaged to her longtime boyfriend today (they've been living together for quite awhile already) she messaged me on facebook with just a picture of the ring, I almost fell off my chair. i thought he would never ask her!!

As always, Professor Unaluna, your grasp of logical reasoning leaves me in awe.

But I'll have some cake.

Everything is ka pai

And....I was wrong.

Merry Christmas everyone hope you all have a lovely day. It's windy and raining here and I am lounging in the sofa after a huge dinner

i probably won't even have to talk to my mother today, which is kind of another christmas present (even though our last conversation was surprisingly not bad, maybe because she was so busy talking smack about her brother she didn't have time to dis me) because she's spending the holiday and all this coming week at my sister's (the other one, not the one that just got engaged) and it will be the first christmas she's been able to spend with my niece who is now like 8? i think? anyway i'm happy to have no holiday family drama today. it helps to live around 1400 miles away from your family of origin....

Im watching Pollyanna on PBS. I had oat bran and blueberries for breakfast, a big salad for lunch, metamucil cookies and brazil nuts for dessert. So far xmas could not be better. But pbs is showing a "Call the midwife" tonight. I love detroit.

My PBS is showing Benedict Cumberbatch as Richard III tonight.

Listening to the melodramatic depressive's playlist (starting with Joy Division's 'Love will tear us apart') while eating hard-boiled eggs out of a cup (think that ranks up there in terms of genius food inventions along with ice cream sandwiches) while waiting for the wind to die down (apparently I've driven through large parts of OK and TX when a wind advisory has been in effect and so, have been wondering why my little Honda Fit was getting pulled in all directions. The idea of a wind advisory actually needing to be heeded is brand new to me )

rr -- needing to mind parental craziness in public is a special form of shame-filled torture

i think i just scared a few years off my h's life. i get laryngospasms from time to time and I know perfectly well how to deal with them, but i guess in 19 years of marriage my h has never seen it before. they're so brief in duration he probably hasn't. i dunno but he was about freaking out, i couldn't talk of course to tell him i'd be ok in a minute, because they typically don't last longer than that, literally. I just have to tell myself to relax and breathe through my nose. I've been told that anxiety/stress can be a contributor, and my mother called earlier. Perhaps talking to her caused a lil anxiety I dunno. I'd thought I wasn't going to have to talk to her today.

He comes on after we call the midwife...

i'm going to go watch Clueless using my new chromecast!

Hope all are having a good holiday. Mine has been nerve wracking. Mom and I went out for lunch and when we went back to the hotel she passed out and hit her head in the elevator. She fought me on getting medical help but I said f this and had hotel staff call 911. She refused to go to the hospital so they couldn't do anything. She is sleeping again and I'm on watch I guess I really need to go back to my apt for an hour or so but I'm afraid to leave her
