I'm hot and sweaty

[eumelia]

And not in a good way!

Being in dutiful sister and loving aunt that I am, babysat for the two children, Shvo (a big boy) and Libby (the baby). Since the 'rents went to an event and said that I should call them liberally. Yeah.

Things were going pretty well until around 07:30, which was when Libby woke up (right when Shvo and I were bonding over pizza. A great way to bond with a three year old BTW).
At first she was okay - a-gooing and cooing to herself.

Things went from cranky to right out bawling after wards, nothing I did could calm her down, I changed her, I fed her (which she didn't not want for some reason, she only drank half a bottle) and began to phone Jade and Rami quite frantically.

Did they answer?
What do you think?

They came home about ten minutes ago, extremely apologetic to find baby quite content (in cannibalizing me again) in my arms.
Apology accepted of course.

That doesn't make me any less pissed off... okay, less that I don't have a bawling baby any more, but they said they'd make it up to me.
Yes, I think missing seven phone calls warrants some making up.

Libby, may have been a nightmare, but Shvo was a dream, he was such a good boy, I promised him two stories from his parents when they came home :)

It's over and I'm tired.

I can't believe they don't serve alcohol to people under 21, America is sometimes extremely fucked up!

We're rather contradictory in our laws and beliefs, yes. Surely your sister would buy you some alcohol, though?

You poor thing... I don't suppose it'll get better as she gets older, right?

But hey, three years can be a charming age on a smart kid.

And, yeah, you earned a drink there.

The United States is screwed up. At age 18 you can vote, go into the Army, and even buy a firearm. However, you can't drink until you're 21. Go figure.

sometimes?

Haven't been here long enough to judge to a full extent.

;)

Don't mind me, I'm just bitter.

BTW, I'd like to contact you, I'd like to know when it would be convenient for you for me to stay over (if I may of course, I don't mean to impose, or anything), I'd love for you to show me around NYC.

Hmm, weekends are best because I work and have classes during the week. Of course, you're welcome to stay longer than a weekend and explore the city by yourself during the day while I'm out. Or you could wait till May when I have a week or so between the end of classes and graduation. Whatever's best for you, I'm flexible.

My phone # is 864-415-4776.

(yay!)

Weekends are the best for me too, because I don't have baby duty then.
I'd love to hang out with you in May, but that's still a long way off.

Again, thank you for the invitation to your place, very much appreciated.

I'd like to call you later today (I can't right now), so when is it most conveniant for you?

[eumelia.livejournal.com]

To call, I mean :)

About the 21 problem...

[nurint.livejournal.com]

From my experience in SF, handing in an Israeli driver's license as a form of ID gets them so confused they don't even try to find the birth date and just say "whatever" and let you in the bar... (and even if they do look for something resembling a date, the whole format of "day/month/year" instead of "month/day/year" disorients them completely ;) )

Re: About the 21 problem...

[eumelia.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but me dear you ARE 21. You don't have a problem either way.
I've got another two and a half months before I can legaly go into a bar!
Depressed...
