Thanks for all the well-wishes and cataloguing of all your own momentous events of the past half-decade; the heartbreaking ones make me want to run around hugging everyone all over again, but there are also tons and tons of good joyful occasions and achievements.
I'm so stressed out and harried by work that I keep forgetting that in a matter of weeks Bev will be on the same coast as us, and then I remember and it makes me happy all over again.
The wooden gift I had a sudden stroke of genius on turns out, on further research, to be completely impractical (living wood, of a sort that would delight the hell out of Hec but that would also promptly die a hideous death because we could not possibly live in a worse climate for this particular thing), but the gift I'd been considering when I thought we were at tin is not altogether unlike silverware, so we're still good.
I am so very happy for Aims and am now redirecting every ounce of no-cancer I've got in Jilli's direction.
happy anniversary!

Sending the no cancer ma~~~~ to Jilli
This weekend: not sure what else is going on, but someone gave me tickets to see shen Yen , which looks really interesting
He also goes on to talk about how liberals have launched a campaign against the Boy Scouts because they do not allow gay scoutmasters and actually says "Not all gay men are pedophiles, but most pedophiles are gay men. Just like not all Muslims are terrorists, but most terrorists are Muslims"
Tell me this person's name and address so I can go correct him with a clue by four.
What I've done in the past 5 years? Um. My sister got married. I quit my horrible job and moved to Chicago. I got a crappy job. Got laid off and found my totally awesome job at The Place With No Comma In Its Name. My brother got married. I became an aunt. I turned 30. I went to a crapload of concerts. Bought a lot of shoes.
"Not all conservatives are redneck bigots, but..."
Tell me, why am I looking at pictures of cute adoptable puppies?
This is bad.
Very, very bad.
I will be in heap big trouble if I bring another dog into the house.
