swmbo at 08:34pm on 15/02/2004Just a quick update as my mom opens us up another bottle of wine (yay, swmbo-mom!)
We're having a Buffy marathon tonight. It's lovely. Season 2, because on one of her previous visits we'd seen most of Season 1 and parts of Season 2, so this weekend we are hitting the Angelus arc. Mom has fallen in love with Oz. Also, during Phases when Xander and Cordelia were making out and the Oz-werewolf attacked Mom said "That monster looks like the raccoon that I caught in the trap, all teeth and claws"
So this weekend I have spread Oz-love to Mom AND reinforced the message that raccoons are evil. (NOT that Oz-werewolf is evil! No!!!) So I think it was very productive.
We just finished watching Passions and are about to watch Killed by Death, aided by our second bottle of wine and some chocolate. Swmbo-mom is also about to cry about Giles, saying sadly "Poor Giles, he never gets anybody does he?".
And in other news, we went to lunch with my best friend/neighbor and her husband. And they used the event to announce they are pregnant (first child). *dances* This is amazing, amazing and wonderful news and I'm over the moon. She and I have been best friends for over 10 years now and he's been a close friend of mine for even longer than he's known her. I adore them both and weee, I know before their parents do. I am already mentally preparing to spoil the baby rotten, even though he or she isn't due until September. *dances more* Hey, I get all of the fun of spoiling and non of the midnight feedings. Although when I said that to swmbo-mom she said "Oh sure, it'll be just like Blitz (my/our dog) - they go out of town and you'll be taking care of it". Well probably not QUITE like that but hey, built in babysitter that you've known for ten years living right across the street, they're darn lucky :p
The swmbo is extremly, EXTREMLY happy tonight. Love you guys *hugs* Now I'm back to my buffy-marathon. I won't introduce her to Angel the Series until after we've gotten through Season 3 of Buffy so it probably won't be until a few mom-visits down the line.,
*hugs everybody tightly*
LOVE you guys. And I'm going to be a pseudo-aunt. YAY!!
