The Golden Cage
December 2009
media: acrylic ink, digital, Cavallini Prints (printed in Italy)
If I could turn the page
In time then I'd rearrange just a day or two
Close my, close my, close my eyes
I couldn't find a way
So I'll settle for one day to believe in you
Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies
Oh, no, no you can't disguise
Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies

...is out!! Or came out, on Wednesday. I totally thought it was next Wednesday!
It's more action than is typical for me...I was worried I wouldn't be good enough but then decided to channel my inner Sailor Moon. Sounds strange but it really helped me feel in my element. I had a blast on this issue! A MAGIC BLAST!!! |

| Babysitting for New Years Eve |
[December 25th, 2009 | 8:13 pm] |
I'm posting this for a friend who isn't on LJ, her name's Laura and she's an experienced babysitter looking for a babysitting gig on NYE for anyone who might want a little time to themselves that night. Her contact information is listed below. Thanks in advance!:
Hello,
My name is Laura and I would love to be your babysitter for New Years Eve. I am 22 and currently working at a green marking and consulting firm in Manhattan.
I have been babysitting and nannying since I was 15 and know very well how to take care of children and infants e.g. creating activities for them to engage in, playing with them, preparing them healthy meals, comforting them when they are crying, helping with homework and putting them to bed. I love children; babysitting is so much fun and very rewarding. Also as anyone would say that I have babysat for, I am very reliable.
Please contact me to discuss rates and let me know if you have any further questions. I can be reached by email lauraagardner@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you,
Laura |

Ert. I don't want to go anywhere today. Laying in bed this morning, I thought how nice it would be to stay home and not have to get dressed up or do anything. But we're bloody well going, and I have to make a batch of peanut curry pasta salad for lunch. D's parents were supposed to come over on the 24th but D's mum rang when we got home on the 23rd and was all "oh I've just got too much on, and we want to go to church." Lady you are the one bitching all the time about how Giftmas is about family but you prefer to go to church instead of see your son. She wants us to stay after everyone has left today (not likely) and have a little family Giftmas thing then, but she doesn't realise that we will have spent the whole afternoon with them, and our patience will not go that far. Because it's never just a little family Giftmas thing, it takes hours to exchange gifts and then she wants to do something else and then it'll be here have a cup of coffee oh we have cake we should listen to some christmas carols and pop crackers and here's a wine I got do you want some Roshi NO FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND SENSIBLE IN THIS WORLD I DO NOT WANT ANY FUCKING WINE YOU DAFT BITCH I HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR 10 FUCKING YEARS THAT I DO NOT DRINK WINE YET YOU STILL OFFER IT TO ME EVERY. SINGLE. FUCKING. TIME.
(I do technically drink wine but so far I only like a sweet sparkling white, I drank a bottle of it yesterday and then had the most awful indigestion and was running to the toilet every 20 minutes while I was trying to watch Scrubs season 8 with D. I wonder if it was the wine or the food, I can get another bottle of it and find out I suppose. I can't stand red wine and still can't find anything to like about dry sparkling whites or whites in general.)
The old diagnosis stands, she needs friends of her own. And she needs to learn who her son really is instead of who she wants him to be. It's fitting that we see D's family on Boxing Day, as a general rule most of the gifts we receive from them will be returned, regifted, recycled, or just plain old thrown out.
Giftmas Eve was great, here. No drunken fuckwits in the street, no burnouts, no screaming matches, no domestic squabbles. There was one car honking their horn a lot as they drove off from somewhere a couple of streets away, but they shut up once they couldn't see the house they just visited any more. We're the noisy ones now, but we're not a pack of cunts and we do consider other people's peace and quiet. Our next-door neighbours are away I think, there's no cars there, and I haven't seen Joyce for a couple of days (Joyce actually was a teacher at my high school and we get along alright even though she never taught a class I was in) so I am guessing they're visiting family for Giftmas.
And one good thing about being in a house with a decent yard and distance from your direct neighbours, you can make a bit more noise than you would in a flat with a tiny yard crammed up together with five other people's yards. I don't think we could ever go back to living in our neighbour's armpits. The plan is to not have to.
Oh well. I've had my preemptive whinge. I suppose I'll go start this pasta salad and figure out what I'm wearing today. I bought a dress for today but the weather is not as hot as I was expecting so I don't know if I will wear it after all. I'll find something else. |

Christian, my husband, got me a totally sweet Betsey Johnson necklace that I’d, oh, maybe sent him a link to at some point in the past couple weeks. Maybe. HE IS A GOOD AND COMPLIANT HUSBAND! He listens to my wishes. Betsey Johnson was one of my favorite fashion designers in high school (with clothes in the realm of affordable for a girl in high school with no living expenses and the occasional hundo slipped to her for a birthday or something along with p/t job money). As I’m on the tubbier side, I can’t really wear her stuff these days, but jewelry I can do. She did make some plus-size stuff for Torrid, which I hope she continues to do as long as I am not able to shop at her store on Newbury Street in Boston, ha ha.
He, in turn, received a book about the films of Steven Segal and a Fantastic Plastic Machine CD from me. We didn’t go bananas (hey, we just got a new car, what the hell more do we need besides less debt?) but it looks like we both secretly got presents for each other, haw haw!

i was always a bit obsessed with wading.
i hope you've all had/are having a lovely time, what ever you celebrate this time of year. we had a quiet dinner with some christmasy overtones, as usual. my brother got me a scarf from india, p, a hat, and my parents some books. i didn't buy anything for anybody because i'd explicitly said i didn't want to give or receive gifts. the presents i got were really good but presents in general make me uncomfortable during times when they have to be given, like birthdays or christmas. when someone sees something in a thriftshop or fleamarket or around their house and think of me and give me a gift, that makes me happy :) anyway after working at aa during the day yesterday and spending so many hours with family i slept as if i'd run a marathon ... so it's breakfast now, at one thirty. ooops. it's nice to have the computer at home and be able to blog from the breakfast table. |
