Delurking 1: Because we don't always check our e-mail.
Slipping in under the Delurking wire....
Hi, I'm BJ and I delurked last year on Oct. 4th (couldn't format the link to the post correctly, my fault entirely.)
My life has not changed much in a year, but taking a cue from the Board, I went in on a form of CSA share, wherein once a week I go to a farm (smack in the middle of housing developments and the University of Central Florida) and pick produce from whatever's growing. Learned I don't like Malabar Spinach.... A few months ago, I adopted my first ever dog. I've really enjoyed all the Board 'rescue pet' stories, as Perrie is also a rescue. We're still learning about each other but so far we seem to suit one another. The boy cat, however, Seriously Disapproves. Is it normal to be planning a Halloween costume for my dog? Have I become a dog-person? Still haven't tried Fernet or green nail polish but I figure that's what the future is for.
BJ, hi! Should you decide to take the plunge, let me rec Orly's It's Not Rocket Science. It's a mid-green, not pastel, not dark, with a glint of gold and a lot of glitter. Heh, it won't be long till you're one of us!

Hi, BJ! I think that's perfectly ok. It's much easier to get a dog to do silly cheesy things that are not its own idea, that it is to get a cat to do them. And being bi-petual is a lovely thing, too.
I'm wearing green nail polish right now, AIFG!
Hi, delurkers and re-lurkers everywhere. Love this thread. Love the board. I'm not nearly around as much as I used to be. Or maybe, I'm around as much but I don't post as much. But I still love my Buffistae as much as ever.
So far this year, I've changed jobs three times. I bought a condo, turned one of the bedrooms into a JLo worthy walk in closet, and filled it with way more shoes than one person needs. I got a black cat named Rosario and I'm convinced she is a demon. I dated someone new for the first time since my marriage ended in 2008. It did not go well, but it went, so that's a good thing. I am going to Egypt and Ethiopia in December to celebrate my 40th birthday. And I got into this here thread just under the wire. Good Times.

Ooh, that sounds really neat! And I for one am always glad to hear you talk about SYTYCD!!
I am much the same as last year. I own a house now. Which is freaky. And have a roommate, which isn't bad. And read on my phone a lot these days, which makes posting harder. I'm still never home, but that sometimes means I get to see more buffistas!
KAT!!! email me about Ethiopia!
I hadn't checked here in a while - HELLLOOO lurkers and less-frequent posters. WELCOME and WELCOME BACK.
Hee. I went to find my post from last year, and of course, it was right under the wire, too.

Apparently in addition to my other traits, I am also a procrastinator. Hi! I don't really have all that much to update this year. We just finished up year nine of our non-profit, and I still feel unbelievably fortunate to be able to live in this house and do this work with this partner. Of course I am feeling that somewhat less right at this particular moment because it also means I have to do this paperwork. But on the whole, life is very good.
Did all you movers update your spot on the buffista map? Not that you have to! Privacy is fine! But if you want to, update!
