Birth, death, illness, new job, vacation...if it's happening to you and you want us to know about it, post it here. These threads are intended for announcements only. Want to offer sympathy or congratulations, or talk about anything? Take it to Natter. Any natter here will be deleted.

I am back home in Dallas. I can't even hope to catch up. Buffistas, as always, have been fucking cool throughout.
Thanks guys.
I've gone grey for the weekend. My evil twin's crappy connection is even more crappy than I remember.
My paternal grandmother died in her sleep last night.
She'd had health problems for much of the year, so it wasn't exactly shocking. I got to see her one last time at Christmas, well worth it in spite of all the other family weirdness.
My grandma was a very kind & sweet woman. Even when expressing concern over her mtf lesbian daughter, she was patient and never raised her voice. That probably came from the certainty that God was on her side. Still, she was a sweetie and I'll miss her a great deal.
Apologies -- the above post should have read "mtf lesbian granddaughter."
I have registered for the LA marathon March 2, 2003. Vibes for injury free training and a few more pounds lost prior to that date would be appreciated. I haven’t made my air reservations yet because I am deciding how long to visit and if I want to spend a little time before the race or after. I hope to meet some LAistas and hopefully hear a few of you cheering from the sidelines.
I just got an email from a friend who about a month ago, had been very excited to announce that she was pregnant. She had a miscarriage on Christmas Day. Vibes for her and her husband are very much appreciated. Also, I feel horrible because the first thing I thought when she announced it so early (about 3 -4 weeks into the pregnancy) was "Why announce so early? What if something happens?"
I'm back in D.C. Rome was unfreakingblelievably cool. More in my LJ tomorrow; sleep now, then New Year's celebration.
I got in to Washington College! I'm just full of news lately.
I'm going to a conference next week, so I'll probably not be here for at least ten days or so. I'll sit in lectures I don't really understand (and in some I'll have to pretend that I do), and I'll probably think on occasion 'hm, I wonder how they are doing', but I won't be able to type it. I'll sure miss you guys.
Anyway, I'm posting here in order to let you know that, according to the Buffista Calendar, tomorrow (January 3rd) is shrift's birthday, and January 7th is Miracleman's birthday. Happy early wishes to the both of them!
