Kids.Arrgh!

I was responsible for my nephew, Cage, for two and a half days and OMG am I tired. Seriously, how do people manage? He’s probably the most lovable, intelligent, adorable six-year-old ever, but he damn near killed me. I’m more convinced than ever that I don’t want kids, not because of Cage, just because of my low energy level.

I am pleased, however, to announce that I have recruited a miniature sci-fi fan in Cage. He loved SGA and Doctor Who, and that just makes me so proud! He already loves Star Wars and Harry Potter, so we had a blast hanging out. We watched Superman Returns, which he was kind of meh about (and so was I), oh, and he LOVES vids. His favorite was the Spiderman vid listed on Fanvid-Recs. Yes, he’s a great kid and he’s so frellin’ cute!!

My aunt and cousin from Ft. Lauderdale are in, as are my uncle and aunt from Knoxville, so we’re having a bit of a family reunion this weekend. Unfortunately, they all ventured down to their childhood hometown and won’t be back in time for dinner, so I’m on my own for tonight. Hmmm…what to eat in preparation of STARGATE night?!?!?

p.s. I’m on an Egyptian kick again, so default theme? Egyptian :wink2:

p.p.s. Going from the fridge to the cupboard and back is NOT helping dinner selection. Food has not, and will not, magically appear.

p.p.p.s.  Narayan isn’t coming to visit.  Eh, f’ him.

Guilt free!!

I felt a little guilty about not seeing my uncle (who lives in Knoxville) during my recent visit. However, today we received a postcard from him. He’s in London as part of a world tour he’s taking. *whew* Now I can say, “But Uncle Jim, I did try to visit you….you were gone!” hehehe

Christmas in July Alert: Big Brother and The Amazing Race begin tonight. WHOO!
