Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

What's your most hated chore? Mine's vacuuming. I will procrastinate by scrubbing toilets and doing laundry, re-orging closets, or even dusting so I don't get around to vacuuming. Second hated: scrubbing the tub or shower.

Floors in general are my nemeses. Not sure why.

Like Amy, I'll put anything away. Sorting and organizing is actually relaxing to me. It is my go-to procrastination.

Friends will actually comment on the order in my closet. If I could alphabetize my clothes, I would.

But the floors...ugh.

Because books.

I love to iron, if I can do it in front of the TV. I also had to iron for work at H&M, so I got used to it.

Thanks again for the congrats!

And people who really watch Nikita! That is even more exciting.

chores and tasks done count as presents

This is totally me. On the '5 Love Languages' scale, I'm way, way into 'acts of service' over touch, talk, gifts and quality time. Waaaay over.

With no current beau. Bartleby is picking up the slack doing his duty with cuteness, being healthy and providing yeoman's service as the dish pre-rinse cycle.

I'm definitely doing some cooking today because I just went to the little organic store to get chow and cleaned out their "free to a good home" table. I got just slightly wrinkled red and yellow peppers, celery, and five pints of heirloom cherry tomatoes. I'm thinking sauce of some sort.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Many happy returns, Bev!

I'm with Sail in hating all chores. There aren't any that I will do rather than do something else, I am more likely to just hide from them all.

Round one in the kitchen accomplished. Going to take at least a couple more before I should do any baking, probably. I don't have to go out and do anything today, though, so that's fine.

Eta: that definitely sounds like sauce, brenda. Nice.

Happy birthday, Beverly!

I know, you can give me a present. Tell me a Bev-story about your favorite theatrical production you ever worked on.

Because books.

I was earwormed with a horrible 70s song, so S. just sang the Mets song for us. And then Sara told him not to go on American Idol. Burned.

Swouncing

Skipping oh-so-way-too-much, after no internet (!) for over a week (!!)* but at least on time for, according to the Buffista Calendar, a double Buffista birthday: both Beverly's as well as Benno's.

Happy birthday, Beverly! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Happy birthday, Benno! With lots of wishes for your mom, your sister, and all your family!

* The apartment is lovely, and we're both glad we rented it, but, goodness, the infrastructure here apparently really wants to isolate us from the outside world, and is ready to take any nasty measures in order to ensure said isolation. Sigh.

And deepest apologies for -t, Pix and Connie neil, whose birthdays I've sadly missed. I mean, my wishes from across the ocean were heartfelt, but not font-felt, and on an internet message board, that's what counts.

Happy Birthday Beverly!

I remember last year's wish from David, including a Beverly themed shrine.

I can't top that, but the wish is heartfelt and hardy. May it be your best year ever.
