Separation Anxiety
Why why oh why does time seem to fly by when you least want it to?!?
My sister will be leaving again on Saturday and I'm already suffering from severe separation anxiety...
I don't know how long it will take me to recover from the trauma of saying the much dreaded goodbye, but as soon as that happens, I promise to resume my regularly scheduled leisurely blogging.
In the mean time, I'd be happy to receive overnight shipments of all your spare Valiums!

is a South African girl living in South Africa. That doesn't sound very original, we know, but you might find it remotely interesting when you learn that she has only recently returned to South Africa for the first time after a nine year, one month and two week (non-stop!) stint in the United States where she accidentally became an outlawed alien (also known, especially in immigration circles, as an 'illegal immigrant.' We prefer the term 'outlawed alien' ourselves). During her reversed exile from her homeland, she kept herself occupied by winning this website (but only after shamelessly bribing the judges) and thus being unleashed on the web where she slowly, leisurely became the World's Laziest Blogger;
by being a nanny and by attending sci-fi conventions in search of other aliens. In the US, she also made her sailing debut, her international acting debut, tried and failed to learn the piano,
and never learned to cook. She is hopelessly addicted to coffee, dogs (especially Labrador Retrievers), how-to books (with a particular fondness for her copy of the Time/Life A - Z Medical Encyclopedia), and she tends to grossly overuse parentheses (we're not kidding) during her attempts at writing, which you may - if you really have masochistic tendencies - subject yourself to by reading the words to the right of this column.
If you REALLY and truly STILL want to know more, you can read her C.V. here.
Or you canstalk her send her some love via e-mail at: redsaid[AT]gmail[DOT]com

Oh baby... can't wait to hear all about it... and for what it's worth I TOTALLY understand...
oh red, i KNOW how goodbyes suck. i KNOW too well... but hang on to the boy, let him pamper you and try and stay busy right away. that usually helps me a bit... i'm thinking of you though and get in touch any time you want! *hugs*
I can't wait to hear about her stay!
Sisters most definitely rule the school. My baby sister is my most favorite person on this planet. I hope you had a wonderful visit with YOUR sis! Glad to have you back soon! :) loves.
Red Dahling,
I have some spare Valiums. Call me. I also make a kick-ass Bloody Mary. I'm still waiting for us to get together for happy hour.
just think of all the good times you've had with your sis... they might have not been that good it she was living in your city close to you... Just enjoy the following days with her and hug her dearly.
How many valium are we up to sweetie???
Hope you're ok
D
Red,
Hang in there -- you are stronger than you think you are! Get in touch sometime and go light on the coffee now. Will make you some appletart, like the one your sis made!
I know what you mean about withdrawal. Sometimes I wonder if it wouldn't be better if the person didn't come to stay.
The main thing parents have the power to change in this area is to become more honest with children about relationships while they are still living at home.
