Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I have birthday confusion.

Happy Birthday to everyone who needs it!

This weekend--we get to go home around 3:00, but I have to go pick up my x-rays from my soon to be ex dentist, and then go to the doctor's appointment I made this morning because the owie thing I did to my big toe yesterday turned into a OMGYUCK thing overnight, and then I suspect there will be booze and/or chocolate.

Tomorrow I go get my hair colored, finally.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I need to get my brows done today. My car is washed. Hopefully tidying my apartment follows soon after, so bon can come and Superwire next week.

Fuck me, Denny. Lead the way. Seriously.

I'm scheduling a portacath insertion. The nurses have won.

Because books.

My blue lips tattoos came! They're SO cool.

My birthday isn't until Tuesday. But we'll still be officially in weekend mode that day. Actually we will drive from Oxford Ohio to Athens GA that day too. Is there anything worse than 9 hours in the car with my son? I suppose a root canal would be worse.

I'm old enough to remember going to the original Star Wars in theaters.

I was 11 years old in 1977, and Star Wars was the first movie I ever saw multiple times in the theater. My family went together the first time, and then I believe I spent my allowance money on my other two viewings, one of which I ended up in the front row since those was the last available seats. Got a big headache from the angle and the in-your-face issue.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

My birthday is Saturday, but it's a secret.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

One of the comments on the very nice card everyone signed for my 10th anniversary here was one thanking me for being the "mom of the office." Oh, man. It hurt because I think I'm Pam, but I guess to the 24-year-olds here, I'm Phyllis.

Oxford Ohio to Athens GA

For a second there, I thought you said you were going to be in Athens, Ohio, and I was going to tell you to look up my aunt and uncle there--she's a teacher at Ohio University.

Because books.

I was 11 years old in 1977

I was ten! Movies I saw in theaters include: Star Wars, Grease (multiple times), Saturday Night Fever, and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (also several times, sadly).

This weekend, I foresee a lot of lying around the house, reading and watching some TV. I'm hoping I feel well enough at some point to (a) go to the National Folk Festival, and (b) eat some ice cream. We shall see! Tomorrow's supposed to be a high of 100 degrees, so I'm thinking Sunday (at a mere 92) is a better bet for the festival.
