After almost two weeks of no access to my data, a couple of days of no computer access at all, a fast (I'm still working on returning all the fluids and begging my head to stop aching from said lack of fluids), there's nothing better than loggin in to good news. One of the few good things about yesterday, which I kept thinking about, was that it had been Rio's wedding, and now I see that Benno has become an older brother. Excellent.

[Edt: and look at my timing: RIO!]

Congrats to Fiona and the Fiona family. Welcome to the littlest Fiona!

Rio, congrats! May you never have to vagina bojangle again.

Oh, Rio! Best wishes to you and Saget. I hope someday we see pictures!

Also, best wishes to Fiona and family!

Oh, Nilly, I wish you rehydration~ma!

I will totes post pictures when we're back from our trip.

Also I'll have email access while I'm there.

RIO RIO RIO RIO~ Congrats, and have a wonderful time in Japan. I'm so happy for you both.

Congrats to the Fionas and little Benno, who I know in the back of my mind is proabbly not too little anymore, but I refuse to think of him as anything but a wee one. I'm sure he'll be a marvelous big brother.

Rio- can you tell us about your wedding??

Thanks, Cindy. It may take some more time (and more liters of water), but I'm definitely on the right way.

Rio, do you feel a huge relief of "all the mess is behind, and only the good is still with me"? I hope you do!

CONGRATULATIONS, RIO & THE MR.!!!!!

Congratulations, Fiona & Fam and welcome wee girl!!!

Yay Fiona!

Yay Rio!

Yay peppermint frosting on chocolate cupcakes! And then you could sprinkle some crused candy cane on top.
