Good luck Kate!
Congratulations Pix and ND!
I went to bed before 11 but I took a benedryl, and as a result I couldn't get out of bed until 7:30, which means I got to work an hour late. Came down the back hallway so as not to be spotted by the big boss coming in this late--and who gets off the freight elevator in the back hallway but the big boss? Boo!
In other news, I bought a smartphone last night: a T-Mobile MyTouch 4G. I'm so excited but I won't get it until Friday.
Happy Pixiversisign!
This!
I am so fucked for this wedding. There is no way I'm going to keep my pronouns straight. I think there needs to be a visual code for who knows about the trans and who doesn't, and I'll just avoid people as applicable.
I'm so nervous.
Wow, ita, that is a real etiquette challenge. Lisah, I think she's poet in addition to getting paid for being tough and awesome. Thanks, Kate. Good luck!
Happy Anniversary to the Pix Designs. I am so glad you have each other. And I am still sorry for the TOTAL manners fail that made me not send my RSVP when I should have! Shameful.
Thanks everyone! We are very lucky to have found one another. It's a good day.
Happy Anniversary, Pix and ND!!!!
Best possible "it's nothing" thoughts to Kate.
Happy Anniversary to the PixDesigns!

Ooh, cool, let me know how it is. I have T-Mobile, so when I finally get on the smartphone train, I'll have to decide which one to get.
How much of an idiot is this woman?
Butt-dialing mistake sends SWAT team to Winnetka school
In a spectacular misunderstanding sparked by an accidental cell phone call, a worried wife caused SWAT teams to swarm the Winnetka school where her husband works, officials said Tuesday.
The wife received the disturbing, garbled call from her husband's phone Monday evening, Winnetka police said.
"You know how when you sit on your phone when it's in your back pocket and it calls the last number that was dialed? His wife was the last number he'd dialed," said Winnetka police Chief Joseph De Lopez. "The conversation led her to believe there was someone holding him hostage."
In the popular vernacular, it was a butt dial, the bane of many a chagrined cell phone user. This time, it led to a frantic 911 call from a wife. Soon, more than 30 gun-toting officers converged on Carleton Washburne School, which also houses the District 36 offices where the man works.
"He was listening to music and he had, I don't know, hip-hop … or music like that, where there were lyrics that were gangster-like," explained Mark Friedman, interim co-superintendent of District 36. "So there were lyrics on the radio as he was driving home, and she listened to it and became concerned."
Armed with automatic weapons and wearing bulletproof vests, SWAT team members circled the school about 5 p.m. Monday, searching for a reported gunman who might be holding a hostage. The all-clear sounded nearly three hours later, after the man was found safe at home by police.
