I am also so very happy for you and the Wallybee--I know you two are happier than you and Bec ever could have been--but I understand feeling a little odd and wistful about news like this. I really do.

Yeah, it's an odd feeling. I'm sure the Russians have a single word for it.

Paging Aimee:

Just when you thought the New Kids on the Block reunion couldn't get any sweeter, word comes that the guys are recording a song with another favorite boy band: New Edition.

AWESOME

DIES DIES DIES

Oh BT, I can imagine feeling all kinds of conflicted about it even if you're happy for Bec.

{{billytea}} I figure hugs lean things over to the good side.

popping in. CRAZY whirlwind day. LONG.

WAIT,before I go into that, HAVE to say YIPEEE for GC and soon-to-be DW! So happy for you!

OK, back to me. Mom and I did a 30+ hour day. An all nighter. Got everything packed. The movers were late. In some respect, not a bad thing, as it gave an extra few hours to pack. There was a paperwork snafu between offices. It took a lot longer to pack the truck than I thought it would. Stupid stairs. I really am looking forward to new apt with no stairs at all, and appartently so is Alex the mover.

Anyhow, after 30+ hours, we head over to Darla's place to feed the kitties and much needed crash before going back to clean the pit I lived in. I called landlord to see what he had plans for, as no work has been done to the place in EIGHT YEARS. He was like "huh? wha? what have you done to the place?" I think he missunderstood the question. So I explained I was foggy from lack of sleep, and we arranged to meet up after work tuesday to exchange keys. Grr, as now I can't leave LA until AFTER rush hour. Then, while sleeping, he calls back and was like, "well, i am going to have a deep clean service anyhow, because I'm going to put the place on the market... yadda yadda yadda". But I didn't get the note until 11pm. I texted to see if he was awake. he is not. I'm hoping for a noon key exchange. I just want to get on the road.

OK, am hungry. am tired. not sure which to do. Love ya all. Back to greyishness.

In which a warning is delivered.

I love Wondermark.

Hey, omnis - I heard part of your interview on NPR yesterday! I had to go into work so I missed the end. You have a very nice voice, btw.

Wow, I'd never seen any Wondermark. That's fixed now.

This one captures my thought processes rather neatly.

Not me. They rented the place.

Yes, but we have been the recipients of your generosity over the past couple summers, which led us to decide to rent it for and entire week YAY. My weird nature fear didn't even really kick in! Except I would have weird fears falling asleep that a bear would get us. Oh! And we finally got down to the water! That was like the only thing we did not related to eating, sleeping, or drinking we did.

Oh! And we found the pie lady.

eta: Steph, You and the Boy should do that next year!

YES YOU SHOULD.
