Saturday was just not my day :-(

I've got a *huuuge* zit on my cheek because I'll be on the rag for Christmas.

I email an HP slash list admin to *politely* inquire about removing
spammers and spam, and I get 'bitchslapped' with list ownership.

I go to visit a couple of my favorite sites to find one permanently gone
(password protection will prevent any Google cache or the likes) and my
'ratio' on the other resembling the Titanic sinking when I had a good
status before.

My mom places in some phone calls for a Christmas dinner at a restaurant
and she wants her children there... Problem is I know she can't afford
(I've done spreadsheets on all her income/expenses) her three children,
two SOs of said children, and a grandchild.  So, when I find out my
sister, her young daughter, and my sister's boyfriend are attending, I
decline so as to save my mom some money--plus, I don't really get along
with my sister.  I then get a second heads-up my mom *cancelled* my
sister's invite as a way for me to attend. {blink, blink}  How can I still
decline that?  If she called my sister back, it'd be awkward, and if I
don't go, she'd have two children missing.

Now, I feel bad. :-(  Granted, my mom only would pay for one dinner versus
three, but my mom hasn't spent a Christmas with her first daughter in
years... Err, you can estimate on the 'favoritism' issues popping up and
how the split between my sister and I occurred.

Also, my mom mentioned my brother and his wife were asking for my clothing
size. =:-o  I really don't like folks buying me clothes.  I remember
getting this snowman sweater (totally sympathize over the Weasley
jumpers/sweaters) and did not like wearing it as a young teen... Ick, I
was pressured into wearing the... *thing*.

I've had a bad day... and I'm nearly out of zit cream. :-(
