Kate, congratulations to you and your DH!!!
Oh wow, I have a DH now!! Wow. OK, that put a huge grin on my face.
Thanks, everyone! We're both back at work today, but unsurprisingly, I am not being terribly productive at the moment. Mostly looking at pictures on FB and trying to catch up here, and wishing we'd been able to take a honeymoon right away instead of having to wait until my vacation time renews in January.
In the meantime, ~ma to them who needs it (and tons of continued ~ma for Drew!). And sj, congrats on having a plan for a dress you'll love! It sounds gorgeous.
Yeah wasn't crazy about the title at all.
but I am confused by the several references to happiness as an external reward or stimulus.
I took it to mean that "if you do X, you will be happy"
Well, here's some positive news. An acquaintance of mine who is a VO pro (award-winning and such) is willing to give me a consultation while I'm up in the Bay Area. I hope that getting a realistic assessment of where I'm rusty and where I'm okay and where to go from there will help me get over my fear. I really need to because I don't have too many ways to get out of the poverty my disability has plunged me into.
That makes sense, Vortex. I couldn't decode that, somehow.
Congratulations, Kate! May your honeymoon-at-home be every bit as blissful as an immediate vacation.
The introvert article confused me on the use of the word "happiness," too. I finally decided they mean "happiness from an outside source," because it's poppycock to say that introverts don't want happiness.
I am, of course, almost a textbook introvert, and I cannot say how much I agree with this part:
Don't interrupt if an introvert does get to talking. Listen closely. "Being overlooked is a really big issue for introverts," Laney says. Introverts are unlikely to repeat themselves; they will not risk making the same mistake twice.
Seriously. It fucking pisses me off to no end when people interrupt while I'm talking. Interrupting with wisecracks and puns is practically a competitive sport in my office, and I want to go all Evil Hand every time someone does it to me.

Know a DC damsel in fashion distress? If so, she's in luck because
Clinton Kelly, Stacy London and the fine folks from TLC's "What Not to
Wear" are filming four episodes in Washington...but they need your help
to find these lucky fashion victims.
If you know a style-challenged individual in need of a serious
intervention, contact casting producer and friend of FishbowlDC Michael
Petrella with the info requested after the jump.
Ha I was thinking this morning "What if WNTW is following me with the hidden cameras?!" I was a mess as I so often am on my way to work.

Lucky? If anyone did that to me, I would kill them. On camera. Dressed *fabulously*.
