Christmased! Ack!

[mega_fauna]

I want to be either running or studying for the GRE, but I'm being Christmased by Marge. What does that entail? Endless dusting, which makes me ill because I'm allergic to dust (as if anyone isn't), endless shifting and re-shifting of furnature, and endless fussing about. We haven't even started on the tree. Now, I love my mother, I really do, but

What i do sometimes with my mom is I'll put them where she'll want them at first. Then I'll sneak back later when she isnt around and put them back where they look good XD She rarely notices....

I miss you. I hope you have a good holiday. I'll be driving up to Toledo for a few days. Steve and I are getting married in 2008. We're still trying to set a date, but I think I want to get married around Christmas. So set aside a day for me :)

Well I'm baking some homemade Christmas cookies. I cant wait till there done so I can eat them all.
Merry Christmas!!

Ask for opinions or talking to oneself

"Now, I love my mother, I really do, but it's incredibly frustrating to be asked my opinion and asked my ideas just so she can shoot them down. If she has something in mind, why doesn't she just do it "

I haven't decided if it is a Romine thing or a female thing. Linda does it sometimes too. I wouldn't go so far as to say "shoot them down", but Linda does ask my opinion then does what she wants to. It makes her feel better about her decisions if someone else agrees with them before they are expressed or implemented. There is probably a good life and career lesson in there somewhere. Get opinions then make a decision.

When you start doing that to me, I'll let you know.

Linda just read what I wrote and added the comment that Marge may just be talking to herself and not really expecting an answer from you. I think Linda does that to me a lot.
