ugh

I am of the opinion that holidays just shouldn't exist. Ditto "family togetherness." Screw that...rich people from centuries past had the right idea. Keep the kids and adults separate, and the adults don't see each other often, either. Do your own thing. Everyone's happier that way.

That said. Mom and I had a blast planting flowers today. Turns out I'm pretty good at spreading out clumps of woodchips (yay, new career option - manual labor), although I suck at the actual planting of flowers. I planned them well, though. It was just why we were doing it that sucks. Oh, and I hate dirt and mud. That's also less fun. But the yard looks pretty.

We also watched Founding Brothers on History Channel tonight, along with random bits of the Trading Spaces marathon. FB was wonderful, and we can't wait for part two tomorrow. It's amazing the things you can learn and find fascinating just because you wanted to watch something to hear Rob Lowe's voice. ; ) (Okay, no, actually I love American history, and I love learning about history in general. I most likely would have watched it even with Rob. But he helped LOL) TS is always fun, too. Love that show.

People are feedbacking me on Sinful! ::bounces:: Makes me happy. Especially since it was just a fluffy little thing I wrote in one night that spiraled completely out of control after page one...everything after Lance taking the polish brush happened without my input, I swear. LOL But it came out pretty cute, I think. See, I knew joining that JC/Lance fic list 6 months ago would benefit me one day. LOL Maybe now I'll finish that other Basez fic I've been working on (for the last, eeek, 6 months). <.g>

Man, I am amazingly sleepy. I've got some weird music on....I think it's opera, but I don't recognize it. I guess that War Letters thing I *wanted to hear is over already. LOL Oh, well, this is pretty interesting.

Sweet dreams, everybody. : )

I'm glad you got to plant flowers - that sounds like a lot of fun!

Your family togetherness always seems to cause stress. I'm sorry :(
