Happy birthday, Steph! 40 has been waiting longingly for you, because you make it look so good!
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Happy Birthday to Teppy. May the day be as fab as she is!

Happy Birthday, Teppy! May it be awesome and fantastic and all the best adjectives you can think of.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Happy birthday, Teppy!

Happy Birthday Teppy!
And in "YAY" news, I emailed the gym last night and this morning they said 'Yes, we have your phone" WHEW!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Thanks for the birthday wishes, folks!
I'm moderately worried because the wildfires in NC have spread and are very very VERY near where we're going. As in, voluntary evacuations have been put in place for 1 or 2 towns away from Topsail. Fuck fuck fuck, man.
The plan is to drive to Greensboro tomorrow, and then the rest of the way Saturday. So I'm guessing that we'll go to Greensboro tomorrow and then check the news Saturday morning. And if we have to come home, we have to come home.
And, AFAIK, I am the only one out of Tim's family who has even been following the news. I started texting various family members today asking them if they've seen the news and what do they think.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Happy Birthday, Teppy! May those wildfires swiftly be controlled, and may, no matter the time frame in which that happens, you find many ways to relax and enjoy yourself on your vacation.
Yay, phone-finding, meara!
Then he runs off to find his grandparents and give them both hugs and kisses, giggling madly the entire time.
For all as mucked up as this world is, it's things like that that gives a bit of hope that we haven't quite managed to screw every single thing up.

Ann, that's a ferret.
The plan is to drive to Greensboro tomorrow, and then the rest of the way Saturday.
Tep, I don't know whether there's room for a Plan B, but Asheville, NC, is supposed to be lovely this time of year (and fairly accessible from Greensboro).

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Happy birthday, Steph! I hope the wildfires stay out of your way.
Any yay meara for locating your phone!
