Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

Sooo. Somebody on my flist mentioned that there was a sale at the Riverkids Shop and linked to an additional 10% discount. Somehow I found myself buying a purse for my mom and for my sister-in-law (and possibly one for my aunt). And then I bought a bunch of twisted silk scarves operating on the theory that I could keep a few and give a few as Christmas or birthday presents.

I meant to be slothful today, but instead I'm running down a list of chores as if my mother were visiting tomorrow, AND I'm probably a third of the way through my Christmas shopping.

Oops?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

(I mean Sunday -- I guess it's still Saturday there, huh?)

I'm with Jesse with the yelling! Is it today?

Aurelia, I am so so so very sorry. How sucky not just to have you and all of your colleagues out of work, but to lose a cultural institution is just depressing.

“Not dead yet!”

And you're worrying about BIRTHDAYS?

Woman, it's okay. We'll take care of announcing our own birthdays.

YOU ARE GETTING MARRIED!! WOOOOOOOOT

It's the night-after-Saturday now, so there's still the whole of Sunday (finishing the getting-confirmations-from-people-that-they're-coming, making Hagai's kipa, and the whole mikve deal), and then Monday (me wearing all the costume upon costume that is hair and makeup and the lots).

And then, I'm told, a couple of hours of saying "Hello, thank you for coming!" followed by another couple of hours of saying "Goodbye, thank you for coming!".

And then, going home.

Everybody is excited but me. I try to make sure that all that needs to be taken care of will indeed be taken care of. I think I do understand what's going on, it's not denial (I think...). But I'm the least excited person off everybody who were here on shabbat (my roommates, my siblings, and a few more friends. My parents were over at Hagai's parents place, with lots of other guests, as this is their custom).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Second, today is Polter-Cow's birthday, so lots of wishes for him, as well!

Thank you, Nilly! I hope your wedding is everything you want it to be and more.
