I've never had that kind of anniversary with anyone...maybe this board.

Man, I remember when sj and TCG were a blind date, and she was all nervous, and then on the second date he brought her a teacup, and it was FATE.

Awww.

erika, I haven't had that kind of anniversary either, FWIW.

I just transferred from one credit card to another for a promo APR. That stuff always makes me so nervous.

Getting sleepy. Night, y'all.

It was more five weeks of meeting up with friends, then FINALLY first official date with just the two of us, and then second date with teacup and he was stuck with me for life. But it does seem like it was all just a second ago.

Doing this was a big part of finally getting out of debt, for me. I mean, it still took a year after I did it, but fucking Bank of America would NOT lower my APR from some insanely usurious rate (seriously, I think it was 21% or something), despite an excellent record of on-time payments.

The local bank I have my checking account with offered me a 0% 12-month transfer, and I said fuck you to BoA, transferred my balance, and they can kiss my ass now.

I thought it was a blind date! Man, 5 years go by and I start to forget all the little details... (smiley emoticon)

(Actually, I have to confess that Facebook has gotten me in the habit of using emoticons. I'm so ashamed.)

Me too! Of course, there are all these school children whose birth-and-post seems like yesterday.

I'm home. Yay! It was pretty much rush-hour traffic for about half the time, apparently because of many, many cars. Mr. Peabody now knows the route well enough to bark at all the rest center exits.

My cousin was crazy yesterday and crazier today, but did not reach the scary levels of last year. This morning she went on and on about how she wants to rent, because her husband will never, ever do anything about the house and because she doesn't want him to have to keep working seven days a week. I trust the cognitive dissonance in that is obvious. I said something to the effect that I'd only move out of a house to a condo somewhere like Decatur, because you can walk to shopping and restaurants. She then screamed that she would never live in Decatur, because, even though she is "color blind," there are too many black people there. I was, of course, never suggesting she live in Decatur. I'm too fond of Decatur to suggest that.

I think of y'all as my sane relatives, and I would like to hug you all.

The entire town of Decatur heaved a collective sigh of relief.

Seems like just a little while ago. Good match!

Happy anniversary, sj and TCG!

Thanks for confirming my son's cuteness factor. We think we'll keep him.
