Joyce: You don't think it's too obvious? I think I look like I have a cat on my head. Buffy: But a very well groomed cat. Joyce: Well that's a comfort.

I was married by the mayor of Hillsborough, OH. I guess it's legal under the constitution!

Aw, Liese. Stumbling across old forks in the road, especially fraught ones like yours, is always unsettling.

Oddly, as you were posting that, I was combing through my email to find a doc and ended up reading all my crazed correspondence during the house-hunt & buy. HOLY SHIT THAT WENT DOWN FAST! I got a rush just reading it again. 5 days after seeing it. 5 days after the first tour of houses. 5. God. I'd only committed to looking a couple weeks before.

And then the emails in prep for the trip. And the trip. And no wonder I'm often turning around and wondering who is this person I am now? Been a lot of changes the past few months. A lot of forks where I've taken the left when I always used to take the right. I'm changing in response and that's changing my world even more. It can't help but. It's this crazy tail-eating dragon.

It's a bit overwhelming.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Yep, flea, no problem there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, awesome score.

Right? I haven't had a real leather purse in forever.

In other random news, the guy checking me out at the library (checking out my books, not checking me out) was talking about how he wishes Buffy were on True Blood. Good times.

Absolutely. And good for you! A comfortable rut may be fine, but it's almost never great.

Yeah, I know. I'm more engaged than I've been in a long while, and keep making choices to stay that way. It's almost scary.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I AM ON VACATION!!!

Woohoo

Whee!

Anyway, seriously you guys. I got this purse: [link] for $40.

Nice! I am trying to find a non-dorky backpack for schlepping stuff back and forth to work. (Carrying things on one side or other messes up my back.) I am starting to believe it doesn't exist. I saw a woman with one a couple of weeks ago, but she got it a year ago at our equivalent to TJ Maxx.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I've got a pretty neat black-and-white houndstooth handbag with black tassel on one side and black on the bottom. Looks professional yet I wear it with jeans to the grocery store, too.
