I have absolutely no idea, Suela. I know the diocese is strapped for cash, as most of them are, and that this parish is the cash-poorest and the biggest money pit of them all, and I'm certainly not the only parishioner who's wondered if the whole parish was going to be retired at some point. But this is just the absolute worst, stupidest, most alienating and hurtful and punitive way of doing it.
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Darn it. Today is the second anniversary of my mom's passing. Last year we remembered the day by going exploring in Denver. My mom loved a good explore. Today CJ and I were going to go up to our CSA farm for their open house. CJ has decided he doesn't want to go, citing that we have been away from home so much lately, he just wants to hang here.
I kinda feel the same way, but was also looking forward to going up to the farm. I could go alone, but would rather have company.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Thanks for the birthday wishes!
Now I need to decide where I want to go to lunch.

Because books.
Happy birthday, Dana! Wishing you cake and lots of nice things.

Sara is gone until tomorrow, with my parents. Ben is off to a friend's at four, and from there to the spring formal, and then back to the friend's to sleep over. S. and I have the evening to ourselves.
We're considering passing out on the bed at about 4:01.

Happy birthday, Dana! I will have a gift for you at, uh, some point!

Happy birthday, Dana! Have a delicious lunch.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Happy birthday Dana!

Ben just left, and I'm surprisingly wistful. A big dance!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's a big deal, Amy! How old is he?
What a mess, JZ. Good on you for going to the meeting. Is it not an RC church? I'm surprised at the pastor getting to fire another pastor.
