One of the grad students who works for us got married a couple of weeks ago and she just sent around her pictures. She's a lovely 22 year old who, because of the heavy-handed make-up job on her wedding day, looks 20 years older. I'll need to arrange my own face very carefully when I tell her how much I enjoyed seeing them.

Also, her dress was huge (in addition to being 22 years old, she's also about 22 lbs) and no one in the pictures could get too close without leaning in.

Perkins' college friend beats me, but my sister and I are a year and 5 days apart.

I'll stand up for the Nuvaring. Hasn't eliminated my periods, but they are much easier than before

I second this.

Yikes.

I'll be doing a test with my friend doing my makeup. The plan is for something like this:

Nuvaring was OK. Since it'll be at least 2 years if ever before we try for another kid, I'd prefer an IUD (completely brainless - it goes in, it stays there).

Oh yeah, I loved the Nuvaring, and skipped plenty of periods on it!

Lovely. I sort of wonder if it's just a good idea not only to take a few pictures approximating the light you'll have on the day, but take a few next to a Bob stand in so you know what it looks like next to someone who isn't wearing any makeup.

Signed, I really don't know what I'm talking about.

That's actually a really good idea. OR maybe I'll get him to wear makeup! Our wedding is in the evening so that should help soften things.

I'm super excited about our photographer. He's not a pro wedding photographer. His main thing is doing roller derby photography and he's really good at capturing portraits in the midst of a ton of action.

So I've been playing hookey from work most of the day. Watched a couple of hours of tv this morning, then worked about 40 minutes, then to therapy, then Lowes, and then Target. Therapy was good, we all need to work on not worrying about what-ifs. good times. The therapist had not seemed to grasp that I can't ever go out at night, and then she gave me sad face. hate sad face. I bought some plants at Lowes as well as some ant killer. Front lawn is like ant manor and while I am pulling burrs out there I am getting bitten pretty bad. So today the killing starts. mwahahahaha. Target I just got food. Cash, we still have the 5 lemon, just sayin.

So they just switched on the backup generators, are cycling the main building air and turning off lights. Apparently, the east coast power grid is stressed, with so many power plants being put into maintenance mode based off historical data, not the actual predicted weather for the month. @@

Sad face is useless.

...I am so glad I"m gay.
