So I guess that means the last few times I've come home from Florida and flew over VA Beach, watching as the clouds magically parted for a very clear view, that

1: I was smashed?

2: Thinking about you was part of the inebriation?

Did you see me waving from the rooftop? I was the one with the pink chiffon tafetta.

Well, actually I was the only one. But I was wearing a pink chiffon tafetta all the same.

Every single time.

So I guess the answer to both questions was yes.

I predicted you'd say that DD.

Are you channeling now or am I just that predictable?

It's the D's!

I have a horrendoid headache. Waiting for the Advil to kick in. Need to go put my head down for a little bit.

so what do you wear when I fly over you, tazzy?

I cooked Dad and step-mom dinner and then played Wii bowling. I am such a perfect daughter!!

I also have sped through half of the new John Grisham book.

Tink, that sounds lovely!

Hi Tazzy!

Had a pleasant dinner, gonna be an annoying night with the 'rents. Homicidal and I'm not even in Los Angeles yet. (Yes, I love them, they're not terrible parents by a long shot, I appreciate them, but damn, they drive me nuts!).

[Q]

Shira - it's interesting you bring up your parents. I was just out watching the sunset and thinking of you. There's a few of us who have been dealing with the loss of parents lately - but we're well into our 'middle age'.

I seriously was thinking of you in your situation. When I was your age, my GRANDparents were your father's age.

Honestly, I'm not sure I feel that falls into the 'natural order of things'.

I'm loathe to dictate that someone shouldn't have children later in life - but I really DO have a feeling that you aren't prepared to deal with the life progression you are faced with.

*sigh*

Maybe I just have to much going on in my life right now, and my brain is about to implode.

At this point, it probably won't amount to much of an explosion.

A few thoughts:

1) You have too much going on in your life. I want you to relax and enjoy yours, I'll worry enough for us both.

2) I'm absolutely unprepared for my father's "life progression", and I'm regularly freaked out. But I have to deal with what comes along anyhow.

[Q]

"You have too much going on in your life."

Well, it beats the alternative.

And I hope you realize that you are surrounded by people ready and willing to step in and help you cope.

Not step in and help you with the menial chores, mind you - but help you cope, none-the-less.

I am almost the last of a generation and my mother is the same age as Shira's father! But, my life is so screwey that I have a partner that is in his 80's and is of more value than two in other decades!

I often sit in my office and post here, but today I freaking worked for my pennies. My god, every high risk case was on meltdown. One of my clients was NOT listening to me and the other was complaining that I did not do something that he never asked me to do!

[shira467]

Posted: 3/3/09 at 9:39pm

The menial chores I can handle, it's the mental ones I dread.

Brd - Is it the extra busy season in law?

[tazber]

Posted: 3/3/09 at 9:54pm

So heavy in here.

Let's all have a drink (or four)



Shira, thanks for the invite on LinkedIn. I'm still new to that whole thing.

[shira467]

Posted: 3/3/09 at 9:57pm

Taz - It's all new to me too (I've been registered for years but never used it). We'll figure it out. Togetha.

Let's have a couple drinks. I could certainly use some.

[tazber]

Posted: 3/3/09 at 10:02pm

What is thy (alcoholic) pleasure, m'lady?

[D2]

Posted: 3/3/09 at 10:06pm

She'll have a Virgin Mary, Taz.

And she'll like it.

[tazber]

Posted: 3/3/09 at 10:08pm

Deet, don't you know that we Jews don't drink Virgin Mary's?

[D2]

Posted: 3/3/09 at 10:12pm

Then give her a V8 with Tabasco and a celery stalk.

She's been drinking way too much lately.

[bdwaygirl]

Posted: 3/3/09 at 10:14pm

Crack that whip.

[tazber]

Posted: 3/3/09 at 10:17pm

And you know how I love a cracking whip!

[D2]

Posted: 3/3/09 at 10:19pm

Well, you know me: a whip with a quip.

[tazber]

Posted: 3/3/09 at 10:21pm

And no one's quips are quippier!

Come help us finish the av thread.

Just a c*ck in a frock.

Sorry, London Taboo overtook me for a second there.

I need to win the Mega Millions tonight, so I can buy tickets to all the shows I want to see.
