Well there you go!

So, this just in: the lovely and venerated BBQ will be toasting her bunny-bun-buns down in the Mexico for the next several weeks! Reaction #1: Sah-weet! Reaction #2: um.... why wasn't I invited???

K. I will table the jealousy for the sake of the children and wish her the best. All the best BBQ/J-mo! Hope your vacay is Fantabulous!!!!!!

right. moving on. The mom came. She got hurt. She left. Why, (Why!) am i incapable of hosting the primary parental unit without sending her home in pieces????? Ah well. Prolly her bad for continuing to keep trying to come out here.

{sigh} the parts where she wasn't actually in the ER were nice though. Din-din with the QBGF and her mom, sloshing through the rain, opening late X-mas/early b-day gifts, trying not to react in horror as the puppy essentially forgot every single element of his "training" and proceeded to bury himself up to his wiggling hindquarters into my mom's lap as she smiled gamely/attempted to prevent his razor sharp claws from drawing blood.....

anyway. "the accident" didn't occur until the final day and was (in my opinion) handled quite dexterously by the folks at the San Leandro ER so -- one short knee brace and 5mgs of morphine later and she was good-to-go for her plane ride home! :-)

God. Have i mentioned lately how very extremely tired i am....?
