My dad's party went really well on Saturday. We met up with my brother, his partner and their kids and were actually the first ones there. The pub was gorgeous, and because it was immediate family and friends only, they'd reserved a smallish room. But there was also picnic benches outside, plus a bouncy castle the kids could use. Hallie is 2, and when we got there the food was already set up, of course the first thing she did was run up to the table, grab the cake knife and stab it into the chocolate cake. But, a quick cover up and no one was the wiser.

I really enjoyed hanging out with them. I went for a walk with Hallie and bounced her on the castle, had some cuddles with Lewis, he's nearly one, and huge. Such a happy chubby baby. Dad looked happier than he has for a while, sitting with his friends and just listening and Corey played with his cousins until they left, when he went out and played with the other kids outside.

Of course nanna provided the WTF moments of the night. When the buffet opened she was one of the last up, and had to pass our table to get there. When she did so she patted my ass and said she hoped I'd left something for her. Then, later on we were sitting with my aunt and uncle, and she started asking if I was still going to the hospital about my weight problem, and really. Time and place.

Yesterday one of James' friends came to fix the kitchen light, and then we went out for dinner and did the main monthly grocery shop. By the time we got home my foot was hurting worse than it has for a while, and I just sat and had woe for a while. Also, I woke up this morning with a sore neck. I suspect James has been punching me in bed.

Probably because I made him watch the gay preview channel last night. Well, in truth, we were switching through all the porn preview channels and pretty much laughing at them all. I know attractiveness is subjective, but man, if I paid for those channels and got some of those people I wouldn't be impressed. What got me was the gay channel had this gorgeous couple on first, then they switched to this dodgy looking group in a locker room, grinding against each other while moaning about gushing cum shots, and yeah, even though it was verbal I know it was cum not come. It was just that kind of sentence. I was like, bring the pretty ones back!

Talking of which. I've spent far too much time looking at this picture this morning. Mikey Way, how so pretty? There are more HQ shots of Mikey and Gerard here If you too like to examine every spot and delicious flick of hair. Not that I would, because that's creepy. Ahem.

So glad the party went well, but yeah, serious WTFness to Nanna. Um. Weh?

I love her deeply, but she has no filter between her brain and mouth at all. It makes for interesting conversations at times.

Oh MAN, I can imagine it does. *sngus*

*mwah* - I'm glad the party went well (although - Bad grandma! Bad!) and yay for fixed lights and sharing a sense of ridiculous with your DH.

It was a really nice low key party. I don't spend enough time with my brother, so it was lovely to hang out.

But yeah, nanna is one in a million alright.

Seriously, Mikey Way, How so pretty? He's got beautiful eyes.

I'm glad you had fun at the party, even with your Nanna being your Nanna!

He has! That's exactly what I keep going back to look at. *happy sigh*

My nanna is just, nanna. A law upon herself *g*

WTFness and lack of brain-to-mouth filters is probably what grandmas are for. Ah well.

Poor James! Subjected to unattractive gay porn! Really, how disgraceful. I once saw a leetle bit of a late-night programme about someone making gay porn, and what pretty boys! But I never figured out who the director/company was and have never dared to investigate further for fear of what I might find. Woez.

So. Have some Chris tongue. Have you watched last week's Gone Country yet?

Yeah, I suspect lack of tact is in the grandma handbook.

The gay porn was horribly unattractive. I'm hoping that once you pay you get better actors, because the ones on freeview were very disappointing. What astounds me though was how many people were willing to pay to actually talk to the women on the porn channels. I mean, some of them were up to £6 a minute, yet people were still phoning in.

I have! Chris singing is a thing of wonder.

Good to hear that your dad's party went so well and that you enjoyed yourself (despite blabby Nana!)

I believe I'm always predisposed to think the worse because when I read of Hallie grabbing a cake knife my first thought was "OMG she stabbed the bouncing castle and destroyed it!" :-)

Oh look, pretty Gerard!! Though that last pic of him is rather terrible :-) Still, very nice eyelashes!

It was a lovely night. It helped that it was very low key, no disco or franticness. Just close family and friends.

Hee! If she'd have had the chance I bet she would have stabbed the bouncy castle. Thankfully all she did was gouge the cake. Then later pick off some stars from the actual birthday cake. She's a wonderful little girl, but a typical two year old, full of beans and fast as lightening.

You're supposed to look at Mikey! But yeah, Gerard looks great as well. You could see the family resemblance strongly in many of the pictures.

Sorry, I only have eyes for Gerard :-)

PS When I was out for a walk this morning I had another idea for the Krycek/Gerard Story of Doooom! I do hope Aurea will write it!!!

That would be such an amazing story! In fact, the whole challenge is.

It does look like Aurea is keen, so fingers crossed she'll keep that enthusiasms.

What idea did you have? If you don't mind sharing that is.

I wrote it down for Aurea here (http://turloughishere.livejournal.com/438712.html).

I'm glad your dad's birthday party was so nice :D . Too bad your nanna was this tactless though. *frowns at her*

I suspect James has been punching me in bed.

OH NOES! You have to get out of this abusive relationship as soon as possible! Come and live with me! I promise I won't hit you! *g*

Not that I would, because that's creepy. Ahem.

LOL! ♥

It was such a good party. Very yummy food too.

I will live with you! Hugs not hits *g*

Man, Saba. You have to pretend to believe me at least <3

Yummy food is always of the good :D .

Hugs not hits! Hee! I love that!

Oooh, I didn't know that! Here, let me try again... LOL! No, sorry! That just doesn't work. *g*

I'm glad the party went well. I think our brain to mouth filters get more porous with age. Did you get the shoes, or do I have to start tracking them down?

I suspect my nanna's mouth to brain filter is more holes than anything now.

And dude! I got them this morning, the postman nearly stopped my heart he banged so hard. I'll be emailing anyway, but, thank you!

excellent! That took a bit longer than five days, which is why I wondered.

It sounds like a lovely party! Although, wow with the incredibly rude comments. I hope you will let them roll off your back. And I'm sorry to hear about your foot woe. :(

I would suggest the application of some magical healing cock but perhaps that is going too far.

I do let them roll from my back. Sadly I'm all too used to nanna, and if you angsted over everything she says, you'd be constantly chewed up.

Hee. I don't know. Magically healing cock is always a good thing.

Ahahahaha, Hallie sounds awesome. She knows what she wants and goes for it!

Also, ugly men are my main problem with (gay) porn (for some reason I'm almost never bothered by any of the women). Where are my pretty boys??

Hallie was on a mission to get that chocolate cake *g*

Where are my pretty boys??

Exactly! I know it's shallow, but when I watch porn I want to see pretty boys. I especially get put off by the hairy ones. I'm all, ewwwww.

My grandpa is like that too, no filter whatsoever, which is a combination between how he's always been, and his brain turning on him.

Yeah, I think a lot of people have a lack of brain mouth filter :(

And they never really understand why that's a problem.
