Yay for good news, Cindy! Continued-good-news-ma going out to the entire Topic! family.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Grr. Landlord from hell just turned up at the door -- no, Mr. Giant Tool, leaving a message on the hub's voicemail an hour before you turn up (while he's in Atlanta and out of cell range, no less!) does not count as the "making an appointment a day in advance" thing you agreed to.

I picture you delivering this message with sabre-point at his Adam's Apple. This picture makes me happy.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Cindy, good news that your M-i-L continues to improve. Prayers are with you and yours.
Job/interview-ma to Aillean, Emily and askye.
Jen's probably done or close to it now, so retroactive kick-the-exam's-ass-ma to you!
Didn't do anything special for the 4th. I read most of the day, which is a fine way to celebrate, I think.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I just got home from my super, long day of therapy, school work, and laundry, to find a pretty pink package on our counter with a note that said, "Open Me". It seems Dave forgot to give me one of my prezzies last night. I love unexpected prezzies. It was a cookbook from my wishlist. I won't mention by whom because she seems to be generally unliked around here.
{{{Suzi}}} Tons of ~ma to your assistant. No one should have to deal with all of that in a year.
Stats~ma, GC.
However, she was lovely and charming and sweet, and looked out at the various illegal fireworks going off in the neighborhood with an intent expression as she said, "Boom!"
Aww. Too cute!
Job~ma, askye!
{{{Chikat}}} Feel better.
Belated test~ma to Jen. I am sure you did fabulously.

JenP, that sounds like a great way to celebrate.
sj, how was your birthday? I think I missed wishing you a happy one, so happy belated birthday. Are you having your Big Gay Pirate thing tonight?

My birthday was fabulous! We had a great, relaxing time at Mom's and then I came home last night and opened my prezzies from Dave. The Big Gay Pirate Gathering is Friday, when the movie opens.

Oh Friday, right. I don't even know what day it is with dh working from home half the time, the kids off of school for the summer, and the kooky holiday on a Tuesday.
