You know, as much as this year is throwing crap at us right now, it still started with just the two of us on a beach in Maui getting married, so no matter what, it is a good year.

[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.

Teppy, I meant to say, yay for your brother! I really need to get TCG there sometime.

Ask the IRS if they'll take a *7MM* gallstone as a down payment. Sheesh!

See, this is your problem. You two getting married brought so much AWESOME into the universe that it's upset the whole balance of nature.

“Not dead yet!”
I think Jess hit the nail on the head.
And good to see your pixels, ND.

Hat trick:
I just spent $40 at two yard sales and now have THREE BAGS of Duplos and baby-girl winter clothes. And a New Native Hug-a-bub carrier**, a Taggies blanket, and a Snug-a-bug bunting. Everything is pink*. My valiant efforts to raise a gender-neutral household have been thwarted once again by the fact that baby clothes are freakin' adorable.
[*Well, except for the Duplos, which are Duplo-colored.]
[**eta: Holy crap, I just looked up the price of this carrier online and it's over $100 new. Score!!]

Good news about ridding yourself of that gallstone, Drew. I hope this is all and it's nothing but healthy, pain-free days now.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
here's hoping that letter was a scam and not really from the IRS because holy crap that would be a massive screw up of the NOT ok variety.
glad to heard good news on two medical fronts!

All is well that ends in pizza.
I've heard of people setting gallstones into jewelry.
I'm not sure where I stand on wearing something that came from my body.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
We got a letter from the IRS like that once, except in our case, it was $14,000. Luckily (and obviously), we did not owe them that. So it may not be as bad as it sounds.
