Yes, I know it's over by two days, but.... I had a good one! So i thought i'd post about it. :)
Went down to see my mom and brothers, which is always nice. Didn't *do* much, mostly just hung out at my mom's house and talked. This in particular took the form of me and my older brother sitting around and talking about books - like Star Trek Lives! and The Magic Goes Away and such and quoting lines at each other and just generally having a nostalgia fest. This segued into us talking about such things as The Bugaloos and H.R. Puffenstuff and giggling like idiots and singing theme songs, and then there was more modern stuff like Ren and Stimpy and South Park, where my brothers regaled me with funnies from *those* shows, which i never watched.
Older brother and i also had a bit of a late-night bitch-fest about his gf's atrocious family and the utter sucktasticness of lawyers and just how much his ex is fucking up their daughter, which...yeah. Bah. If ever a man needed to win the Lottery, it's my brother.
Also made and iced sugar cookies and made bread and did the dishes. :)
Then, took Mom, the Monstrous and cousins to Hot Topic in the mall. Good lord. I let them out and went to park, and walking through to find them i just kept biting my lip and trying not to laugh out loud at all the little tween and teen wanna-be gothy-emo-hipster Gerard Way clones that were choking up every freakin' inch of the hallways.
Between them and people with strollers the size of small cars, it was a bit hellish.
My mom and i stood around in HT for a couple minutes, very loudly talking about people who were too ignorant and rude to actually re-fold and put away merchandise, but the woman we were talking about ignored us and continued to unfold t-shirt after t-shirt and then stuff them sloppily back into the shelves. Idiot.
So we went and sat on a bench and commented on the passers-by instead, which was fun, because if you get her going, my mom is as catty as i am, just with nicer language. Wheeeeee!
Hit the bookstore, too, to use our Xmas gift cards, and i got a copy of Swiss Family Robinson, yay! Soon as i re-read it, i can start my other fairy tale fic.
Also got a gorgeous hand-made card from the SO, with the money for my Writercon reservation in it, YES! Awesomesauce.
All in all, a good weekend. And to the lovely, lovely people who left comments for me over at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
svmadelyn's Valentine's Day Game - thank you, thank you, thank you! You give me warm fuzzies. :)
reremouse hosted a Valentine's Spanderthon, with a number of excellent authors contributing to the madness. I'm set to settle in and plow my way through the ficlist tomorrow! So join me!

Oh man... I thought I was the only one who did that! And here in the SF bay area, we got soooo many opportunities (read: malls *g*) for such people watching/commentary.
Yay for having a fun weekend with your family.

And I'm happy you liked the Valentine. =)
-the SO
PS. In *my* online communities, you're usually referred to as such things as "my beloved wife", "my precious mate", "the light of my life" - those sorts of things.
What makes me significant? Paying the interwebz bill?
Just call me "That one" if you like. =P

If I ever win the lotto, you're getting a sizeable chunk. More than enough to have certain undesirables . . . shall we say . . . removed.

::snorts::
A guy I work with has a little poster thingy that says: "I wish my grase was emo so it would cut itself."
Every time I see one of those little wannabes, I laugh, now.
Hah, I can actually picture you being catty. It's a very well-worded sort of catty, too :D
