So, we're getting up at 4:30 and off to the airport and 13 hours of flying and then, Holland! I will try to post from over there in that Europe, but may be too busy absorbing culture and eating lots of fab food. Have a great week, Buffistas!
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Awhile back I asked for some mysterious wisdom~ma, and I thank any of those that gave it.
The mystery is over. Come mid-June of '07 I am going to be a father.
This was completely unplanned and was really unlikely to happen, statistically-speaking, but sometimes life laughs at statistics.
The mother and I care about each other very much, and are looking for a place to live together and raise our child, but we're not planning to get married yet. We don't want to get married just because we feel like we have to, but because we both want to.
We don't know the sex of the child, the GF's first ultrasound isn't until next week, but we both intend to find out as soon as we're able.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Asking for a little financial ~ma. I just applied for a loan that I hope will help me get contol of my debts. I am totally inept when it comes to money, so any help is something I need.

Compassionately intolerant
A heartfelt request for best possible outcome ~ma.
I've written a letter of resignation to the day job that has alternately given me healthcare and sucked out my soul for the last 15 months.
Seconds after doing so, I got an email from someone who wants me to do what I am really called to do for good money...and that seemed like a sign.
What I need is the confidence that submitting the letter tomorrow is the right thing (as opposed to the cranky, foot-stompy thing...which of course appears NOwhere in the letter but shrivels my heart) and a quick infusion of cash...clients...projects, etc. to keep me afloat and move me toward my dream/goal.
I just can't see entering 2007 dragging this albatross along with me...but I'd also like to keep the health care and ya know...pay bills. And have some fun...
Any good thoughts would be deeply appreciated.

move out and draw fire
You know, I mentioned in Bitches that I'll be moving back to the DC area next summer, but I was holding off announcing it "officially" in case my DH got directed to Iraq. However, if that happens, Mal and I will be moving to DC anyway, so...DCistas, plan for a housewarming party next summer!

Because books.
I'm posting this here, because so many people are involved.
Buffistas are wonderful. At the moment, I'm overwhelmed by just how wonderful they are. When I posted that Stephen had lost his job, I never expected so many loving, generous people to keep the Grinch at bay this year. An iPod for Jake has already arrived, and I know that other gifts, including money, are coming.
When I say overwhelmed, I'm really not kidding. I feel incredibly loved, incredibly blessed, and so grateful to be part of a community that cares for each other in so many ways. Everyone who is part of this has all of my gratitude. I wish I could send everyone cookies and porn and plot bunnies and new TiVos and additional seasons of Firefly. Thank you all, so much.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I have no words, so I will let Spencer Michael Free say them for me.
‘Tis the human touch in this world that counts,
The touch of your hand and mine,
Which means far more to the fainting heart
Than shelter and bread and wine;
For shelter is gone when the night is o’er,
And bread lasts only a day,
But the touch of the hand and the sound of the voice
Sing on in the soul alway.
You all, and I mean all, have touched my soul and I am grateful and blessed and honored.
Thank you doesn't seem to cover it. But, not being a poet, it's what I have and I mean it with every fiber of my being.
Thank you.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I know some of us love cats and some of us don't, if there is anyone in the Indiana area looking for a cat or cats, a poster from the kittypix LiveJournal community is being forced to move very quickly and give up her cats. She is the owner who hand raised Runty McRunterson, who I believe has been linked to here.
If anyone is looking for a cat, the thread where you can post is here:
