ella_menno*You know, I really have to cultivate some self-discipline if I'm going to keep to my goal of posting every day.
*It's eleven a.m., and I'm still in my jammies. Woot...?
*Nothing much going on today. Must call Fed Ex, again; they have two packages that were supposed to be here on June 18th and have not yet arrived. My patience, she grows thin.
*Ideally, the third LotR movie will be Netflixed to our own very mailbox today. The kids are getting antsy to see how the story ends. I have this odd feeling that they aren't going to be too thrilled with Frodo sailing off to Valhalla (or whatever, details, pfft) at the end.
*We went to the park earlier this week. Oldest wanted to play "Lord of the Rings" with his brother - he went on and on about how "I will be Gandalf, and Mom can be the Despair Lady, and (sister) can be Gollum (hee!), and you can be Frodo, and-"
And his brother cut him off, saying "I can't be Frodo."
Oldest was chagrined. "Why not?"
Middle looked at him as though he was addled. "Because there's no Sam. Frodo can't be Frodo without a Sam."
The best part? Oldest didn't even argue - just shrugged and agreed with him.
*sigh* The fanbabies, they are so wise....
If anyone wants to ask me questions, or play "Marry, Shag, Cliff" (or whatever that game is called), or pass along questions for me to ask the kids, or, you know, anything - that'd be great.

Date: 2007-07-10 12:45 am (UTC)Frankly, I think Anna would make a better "Despair Lady" than I would - but I didn't want to be Gollum. Hee.

Oh thank you! "The Despair Lady!" I can just see it now!
Needed a good laugh, and your oldest is so very good at providing them!

You're the second person to comment on the 'despair lady' title; I think I shall have to share the story of how her name came about, because it isn't just the obvious reason.

Date: 2007-07-10 12:50 am (UTC)As for your M/S/C choice: obviously, I tell ol' Harv to f*ck himself, and then I marry-ly chuck him over the cliff.
Ha! Foiled again!

Date: 2007-07-07 03:28 am (UTC)Hmmmm. Okay, on the Marry, Shag or Cliff.
We gotta do the obvious one first: John, Dean and Sam.
Then how about: Dean (SPN), Alec (DA) and Jason (SV).
Heh.
no subject
Date: 2007-07-10 01:03 am (UTC)Winchesters first: (by the way, you are truly ebil for making me do this.) Mmmkay.
Cliff: John. Tough call, but I think he'd just as soon die as be with someone who wasn't Mary, so there you go.
Shag: Dean
Marry: Sam
Because whoever marries either of those boys is going to have to adjust to the fact that she's not the greatest love in her husband's life (and I mean that in a totally non-Wincesty way, as you know). I guess I just think that Sam would be less obvious and more tactful about the fact that if it ever came to it, he'd choose Dean over me - y'know?
And now the Ackles set:
Cliff: Jason, because for as well as he started out, he went batshit crazy;
Shag: Alec, because I never watched DA and know nothing about him, but hey! I figure he's good-looking; which leaves me married to Dean.
Oh, darn. Heh.
