proposing to her while watching the sunrise at Uluru

Wow.

So far I haven't seen a hair color look bad on you, Aimee, but this one is very nice, ekspecially with the length.

LOVE the color and length, Aims. And you're going to look spectacular on your vacation in your pretty, pretty dress.

CNN International would just show about four stories over and over for hours on end, which really confused me -- they're international. They've got a whole world to report on. Couldn't they find some more stories.

Amen. Word. As much as I love to travel, I hate CNN Int'l.

Billytea, a swift two months to you!

Very pretty Aimee. Cameras do love you, understandably.

Condo~ma to Jessica and E.

Dropped out of high school. No prom, no date.

Robin is me. This delights me. I tried to search for a few old boyfriends, but they are not to be found. (and I had a time trying to remember last names, because it was such a long time ago)

Eh, he still can't beat my DH and I have WAY cuter kids than he does.

This is true; I’ve seen pictures! Well, not the other loser guy's kids, but no way they are as cute.

May those 2 months pass swiftily, billytea. Still, it's one step closer to the ultimate goal, having a Mrs. Wallybee billytea on your arm.

Yes, this. I’m sorry that you have to start your married life alone.

{{Beej}} I know it was a tough decision.

I like the color Aimee! It does something to make your smile/eyes pop.

I should go to Seattle and get hair coloring lessons from Plei, as I'm going to have to do-it-myself, I think, when we get to D.C. and start the uber-penny pinching to buy ourselves some real estate.

Beej, I'm glad that you and the guy made a decision and moved forward. It's a good thing.

bt, I hope the two months pass very quickly. Just think how beautiful she'll be when you see her again!

Thanks my lovelies. I'm a bit more sad today and flopping around with the now what am I going to do randomness of change. But mostly okay.

After a not very sleep-filled night, (and I've got the dark circles to prove it) I'm off to have lunch with an acquaintance who is part of the new city counsel administration, over-seeing a committee whose charge, in which, I actually have a degree. Nothing specific on my mind, just putting myself out there for project work.

Any superfluous good thoughts for something cool/lucrative would be greatly appreciated.

Love the hair color Aimee. The camera truly does love you.

Random ex- boyfriend.

t blushing at all of the compliments

Thanks, guys.

Beej, I'm glad you are mostly ok. {{{Beej}}}

And bt!! You'll just have to spend time with us over the next two months so that it goes quicker. 'kay?

Beej, was the bf Duke? Wow. And a wish for happy days again soon for you, and also both non-superfluous and superfluous job thoughts are sent your way.

It's going to be lonely coming back to Australia alone after our wedding. I hope I get to greet her at the airport again soon after.

Damn allergies. Hang in there. When she arrives, you'll be able to make up for lost time, and you will have so much joy together.

Reason 876 why kids are nutty and craxy-making:

Joe noticed Em felt warm yesterday so he checker her temp - 100.3. She's been harboring a pretty bad cough, so her and I stayed home. I made a doctor's appointment.

We got there and she had all sorts of energy. What she didn't have was a fever and a cough. Duck checked her out - listened to lungs, looked in ears and mouth - everything all clear.

We went home, she took a nap. Got up, had lunch, played outside. No fever.

This morning? Back to 100.3. Cough. Scratchy voice.

Joe's home with her today. We're doping her up on Tylenol Cold and Cough. She's resting all day and drinking water and OJ. Hopefully, we can most of this gone before tomorrow when we fly out.
