A couple of days away and the shit hits the fan!

I'm so sorry for your loss, DJ.

Aimee, I'm sending all good vibes your way (yours, too, MM). What a fucked week. I hope being with your family is at least a little comforting. {{{}}}

GF and I have been joking that we got married today. This morning we signed our trust, will, and power of attorney over healthcare docs and put in the paperwork for domestic partnership. It's only been 12 years...

Congratulations GC!! That's a big step.

Congrats, GC and newly legalified GF!

Does it not understand that I have an Important Appointment with people for sushi and cupcakes?

Lee and I are safely in Seattle and I walked down to the Pike Place Market to unwind from the drive. Then bought postcards like I was jonesing and came back to our room to write. There's a guy playing jazz on his sax on the street that we can hear too. Kinda nice.

Off to shower.

Hey GC, I say you call it an anniversary type day. The more dates you have to celebrate each year the better. My sincere wish is that you are able to have a more worthy wedding day a whole lot sooner than 12 years from now. Having been married 3 times it upsets me more than I can express that everyone isn't allowed to express their love and commitment this way. OK, I may be a little more annoyed than usual about the inequity since I get to celebrate 17 years tomorrow and other couples I care about don't have that option.

I don't really believe that Cass and Lee are having all this fun together. Where is the photographic proof I say?!

Thanks guys. We finally did the domestic partnership thing because we found out that if one of you becomes seriously ill, the partner can get time off of work to care for you under the law. Otherwise we didn't see the value and we both have paranoia issues with the current administration. V for Vendetta anyone?

Totally jealous of Cass and Lee!

I have a margarita cupcake - lime cake with tequila buttercream.

Congrats, Gloomcookie and GF! Making it legal!

if one of you becomes seriously ill, the partner can get time off of work to care for you under the law.

yeah, you can't use FMLA for a roommate, which is what the law considers you. Also, if there is said illness (god forbid) and the DP can make medical decisions.

There .. um aren't pictures yet.

Well Lee took one with her phone but I was sticking out my tongue and waggling my hands around my ears and I will have to murderize her if it ends up on the internets.

We're meeting ---- Lee is cracking up and not telling me why. I need to go check other threads and LJ. Then dinner. Or murderizing.

eta: She Nattered. But it was funny. Not murderizing. SUSHI!
