So, today is 19 years married for me. We've survived crazy families, eight moves, two kids, four dogs, three cats, and trying to figure out what we want to be when we grow up.
I think we've earned our dinner at Toulouse Petit. [link]
Joyce: And what did you do tonight? Dawn: Irritated Giles. I'm beginning to get why Buffy likes it so much.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Congratulations Barb. That looks like a delicious restaurant too.

Happy Anniversary to Barb and her DH! That restaurant looks amazing.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Oh, YUM.
That looks jealous.
I mean, delicious.
Look away from the Freudian food slip.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy Anniversary, Barb and DH!

“Not dead yet!”
Thanks for all the good wishes, guys! And yes, that restaurant is to DIE for-- a little slice of NOLA in Seattle and with totally reasonable prices. Plus, a breakfast Happy Hour! How awesome is that? We seriously debated whether we should go for dinner or breakfast, to tell you the truth, since we've already been there for dinner before but have yet to make it for breakfast.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Happy Anniversary!

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 Anniversary, Barb and DH!
Welcome back, Erin!
I'm glad you are better, Nonian!
And Hil, I agree with the "use one of those healing bandage thingies, and call the doc if signs of infection show up," strategy. I wouldn't do that at work, but I'm not allowed to do my own thinking there, medically speaking, that is.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Hey, All.
Happy Wedding-versary, Barb! Enjoy your evening out with your Honey.
Hil, meara, hope you're feeling better soon. Nonian, glad you're feeling better.
Busy weekend, considering I was nowhere near ComicCon.
Friend of a friend got me in on a tour of the FAA TRACON station (where they keep the air traffic controllers) near where I live, which is actually all air traffic control (except for the actual towers at the airports thenselves) for all of Southern California. Very cool, though I was one of the only people on the tour who is in no way involved in flying, so there was a bit of "uh-huh"ing when they talked in acronyms I don't know. (Note to ita and anyone else with headache triggers: NEVER DO THIS. The very dim room with dark monitors and little flashy lights, then walking back to normal lighting - insta-headache (thankfully not migraine, though, ibuprofen & caffeine took it down, but still)).
Then saw a new (to me definitely, but I think just new in general) musical (free, because a friend recently got an affiliated job) called Sleeping Beauty Wakes. I was a little leery because I always worry a bit when somebody fiddles with one of my faves, but this was really good. In addition to the musical itself there was some very inventive choreography, including using furniture, & really evocative lighting design (and seriously, I never note lighting). They didn't have the soundtrack available yet, but I pre-ordered - can't wait.
Anyway, very fun, though I'm tired today. I usually take 1 weekend day to do nothing but recharge.
