I think I was imprinted at an early age that There Is Love, and There Is Friendship, and Never Shall the Twain Meet.
The thing is, love isn't 100% all the time. It's a wave. Sometimes your partner is the center of the universe, the point the sun rotates around. Sometimes your partner is just this guy, you know? Sometimes he is the most annoying person in the universe, because he knows EXACTLY which buttons to push.
It's the friendship that gets you through those times. Love alone isn't enough.
in my experience, guys will have sex and aren't too picky about with whom [no offense, Buffista guys, but like I said, this has been *my* experience], but they're a lot more picky about who they want to actually spend time with, in a clothes-on way.)
But what does that have to do with being in love? Or have people been using "in love" to mean "sexually attracted to"?
[eta: I think that came out more combative than I meant it. I'm just so completely confused.]

I'm sick and I have to go to a conference next week (and be a speaker, too) and I have nothing to wear and I'm too sick to shop (the horror). What to do? Ideas people. I need ideas.
Love that jacket, GC. I like the skirt, too.

I'm going to go ahead and email the bride, tell her what happened, explain the rationale behind the change (basically, we still charge a lower rate for members or relatives of members to use the church, but no longer charge them a lower rate for anything personnel-related, because the people are doing the same work regardless and it didn't seem quite fair), say it didn't get changed on the worksheet I sent her because it's normally an internal document, so whoever did the update didn't think of it, apologize for the misunderstanding, etc. And if she pitches a fit, then I think I'll have to consult either the senior wedding coordinator or our head pastor. I've been wary, because that too is a form of admitting failure, and what if they decide it'd be better to have one of the other coordinators handle it, given that I've already planned how I'm going to spend my fee?
Great jacket, GC. I like both colors.

Why would they do that? I think they'd more likely just be backup. Why would someone else need/want to deal with the hissyfits? Also, you've put in work, wouldn't you get some part of your fee anyway? I guess what I'm asking is, is that an actual possibility or just a fear?
Or just asking a lot of annoying questions. Six of one...
Unless he's left his shoes out smack in the middle of the hall again and I've tripped over them at 6:30 a.m. *again*.
I leave my own shoes in the middle of the floor and trip over them. I have eliminated the middleman.
