On Monday, Vogon only put in a few hours at work and told someone on the phone that he was taking the day off to take care of me because I was sick. I was confused because I've got self-care for sinus flareups down cold. Today, he's actually sick. *snerk*
When did Mother's Day cards became so complex? With six cards to buy for far-away relatives, I bypassed the more expensive cards to get the 99-cent Hallmark cards to embellish at home before mailing them. I nearly peed myself laughing when she wrote in her aunt's card, "Get married with [uncle]!". (They got married almost two years ago; she *really* liked the party.)

- Hide and Creep, a horror-comedy with zombies and rednecks, has its television premiere on Sci-Fi tonight; Carol ofdrinkatworkblog's brothers Chuck and Chris are in it. Go watch, it's funny. BRAAINS!

Laurel and I picked cards in three themes: bugs for my sister and mother, bunnies for Himself's mother and paternal grandmother, and bears for Vogon's mother and Himself's maternal grandmother.
I watched her very carefully after she drew a picture of my sister kicking my butt in my sister's card. It's an image that's probably been in her head since I replied to Vogon asking me why I was buying Mother's Day cards if I don't really like the holiday that my sister would kick my butt if I didn't. (She would.)
