Parents Schmarents

Hello Sue my love!

It is late here. And I may have had a few too many drinks tonight, only to come home to see your post about the 'rents meeting.

And it got me thinking... once I finished cracking up - because seriously? A sushi party? That is BEYOND.

But first, let me explain about my somewhat inebriated state. Tonight was a big night for me and my fellow MBAs who are in my college here at uni. (How British do I sound?!) Basically, my MBA class (and everyone else here) are divided among small colleges that make up the university. And each college has its own matriculation ceremony to officially welcome each new student to the college and uni. And there was lots of alcohol. The end.

So anyway, I kind of can't even believe that you are having the fam all meet each other over that most hallowed of American holidays (if only because of the pie and booze), Thanksgiving. That is intense!

I, on the other hand, would never even fathom having my father meet The Lawyer's father. No no. They will not meet until our wedding day, and even then we will seat them as far away as possible. I mean, I love them both as individuals, but The Lawyer and I also know that they will detest each other... so we are not rushing into any kind of introduction any time soon.

Is that weird? Or is your situation weird? LADIES! We DomestiGals need your input! Have you ever introduced your parents to your significant other's parents? If so, how did it go? If not, why not? We need deets stat.

If only - speaking of stats - to distract me from my statistics exam studying...

Big love,

Jen

DomestiGals Heart... Twitter!

Photobucket Dearest DomestiGals,

Sue and I could not resist giving a shout-out today to one of our favorite things on the interwebs: the newly revamped and fancified yet still lovable Twitter.

Do you love it or do you LOVE it?

Here's why we love it:

Receiving an email that said, "Barack Obama is now following you on Twitter" was perhaps the highlight of our summer.

The immediacy and sheer enjoyability of micro-blogging: addictive or a little bit ridiculous? Yes. Heh. But is that a bad thing?

Jen can follow her beloved Chicago Cubs from across the pond via post-game tweets. Go Cubbies!

Yeah, it may be a little stalker-tastic, but reading half a day's worth of tweets still takes less time than analyzing the changes to your ex's Facebook page. Not that we've done that. Nope, not us!

We know we sound like huge nerds, but we love the simple, cute design and customizability. And how adorable is that Fail Whale? Jen would like a plush version for snuggling on nights when she's at school and sans Lawyer.

Why do YOU love Twitter? And what's your Twitter name? Leave a comment and let us know!

Love,

Sue and Jen
