I'm trying to make up for not sending her a Christmas card. *L* Another 30 hours and this will all be over with and we can get back to.. what we think is normal.. which is far from normal.

12/23/01 - Just a few tips on throwing drinks at someone:
1. Don't be drinking something sticky when the urge hits you... I suggest if you drink coconut rum and pineapple juice to switch to something like scotch and water. This may seem like a drastic change in your life, but you will always be prepared.
2. Make sure the person is in a stationary position..ie.. sitting down, laying down.. hog tied and screwed to the floor.. just so they are unable to move and dodge the contents of the glass you are throwing.
3. Don't do it in an area that has a lot of windows and curtains.. just in case you miss.
4. It's a real drag to have to clean up the mess after you have thrown it, so be ready to walk out the door when the previous occurs.
5. You might want to hone up on your skills by practicing with a glass of water in an area that won't require cleaning up afterward.12/21/01 - Making the decision to have a child - it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. ~ Elizabeth Stone
