Yes, I want a fucking medal, thank you.

[progmom]

2nd to last day of our vacation, progdad's 21-year-old cousin calls saying she's going to be in town on Monday...and uh....could she stay with us for 4 nights? So...we got back late last night, and now we have unexpected company.

We'd better get a ton of babysitting out of this when she moves to town to start grad school, that's all I'm saying. x(

1. Here ya go,

[nookiemonster]

2. Go ahead. It's chocolate.

[GOPisEvil]

3. Damn, that's pretty last minute.

4 days? How about some notice? Cripes!

[progmom]

5. she's really nice, and really bright

but not so good at remembering to plan.

last time she stayed with us, she told us she was flying back on saturday afternoon, so we offered to drive her to the airport. at 10am, i suggested that we check her in online to save time....only to discover that her flight was actually scheduled at 10:55am!!! progdad got her there with seconds to spare. :eyes:

[GOPisEvil]

8. Prior proper planning prevents pitifully poor performance.

Alliteration is fun! :D

[progmom]

:shrug:

(see, we need her. we're losing steam. do you have the bat signal hooked up? you're much closer to her.)

[sundog]

56. she needs to be here cause i don't think anyone else appreciates this shit

:shrug:

[progmom]

57. yeah. you're right.

it's our exclusive little club. the people who appreciate lame shit like this and actually think it's really fucking funny.

[sundog]

58. it has a name? cult is too long of a word?

:shrug:

[progmom]

It's the boy scout in me :hi:

Man, DU is more fun than a dissertation....arrrgh!

[progmom]

33. ok...i'm dense tonight

i thought you were telling me that there were many fine things to appreciate. it works that way too. :)

[Robeson]

22. She should have been told thats what hotels are for.

[Redstone]

24. Think you'll live?

Redstone

[progmom]

26. you never know, do you?

:shrug:

[Redstone]

34. Life is indeed full of uncertaincies, is it not?

But I believe you'll get through this one, and probably the next one as well.

And I probably don't have to remind you that babysitting is not a gift horse whose dentition should be too closely examined, do I?

Enjoy the unanticipated unfettered time you'll be having with progdad.

Redstone

[progmom]

36. i love it when you pretend to take my rants seriously

:loveya:

[Redstone]

50. Who's pretending? If it's important to you,

it's absolutely vital to me. Except if I'm not here because I'm somewhere else.

As you know already.

Redstone

[progmom]

60. you're always somewhere else

unless you're here.
sneaky man.

[Redstone]

61. Yes, and the odd thing is that wherever I am,

that's where you'll find me.

Funny how things work out that way.

Redstone

[progmom]

66. see - that's where you should be posting that excellent pic

of you in a bunch of different places. :)

[Redstone]

67. You mean this one?

I do have a problem staying still, yes?

I gotta go. Later, m'dear.

Redstone
