I trumpeted it over on facebook, but I had to say it again. My friend the acupuncturist is a frickin' genius.

I felt NOTHING. For the very first time in my entire life, I was on a dock and a boat without feeling miserable. It was absolutely amazing.

The wedding was just lovely. Plenty of tears and laughter.

The bride's mother took me aside and said, with great earnest, that the couple's success is all down to me. Not really, of course, but it was nice to hear her so happy for them. She asked me if I knew right away that they would make it. I had to be truthful. I was not sure. But, they worked hard and make quick progress.

As soon as the ceremony was over, the wife leaned over to me and said, "We'll be back in your office soon."

I'll be happy to see them.

That's lovely, Bonny.

Had a mostly nice day with Will. We hit a rough patch because I was tired and cranky. After a nap all was better. We went and watched FSU lose to UF. It was frustrating but I wasn't expecting FSU to win. FSU just doesn't play the same caliber teams as UF.

Someone on my FB was crying for Coach Fisher to be fired. Let's see 3 years as head coach and he's 10-1, 9-4, 10-2 and got FSU back in the BCS rankings. Some people are just too picky or still hurt that Bowden couldn't be a great coach forever.

I just went out for my birthday dinner with my parents and sister. That was nice -- we went to V-Note, which is one of my favorite vegan restaurants in the city, and got a whole bunch of yummy food, including chocolate fondue for dessert. (It would have been nicer if we could have just eaten the food and not analyzed all the nutritional aspects of it, but I think that getting through a meal without mentioning the word "calories" might be impossible for my family.)

bonny, that is wonderful! Man, I hope I get to try acupuncture some time.

Sorry. I put down the compute to start operation Tree Time. It sounds like you got a lot done, though.

I did! All the way through making dinner for D and myself, and then making brownies for a Saints watch party tomorrow. He's been watching the Les Miz 25th anniversary concert - he's never seen the musical, so he's prepping for the movie. Which looks AWESOME, btw, just watched the latest trailer.

Anyway, fall down go boom time now. Gonna watch some tv and snarf on brownies and ice cream. That's what I call just desserts.

I don't like the hose and open toe but it kind of depends on how open the toe is and the type of hose. I did fishnet and a slightly open toe for a fancy dinner in October and I think it worked.

But what about something like this?

We're home. I love my family, and I love TCG. However, I cannot wait for TCG to go to work tomorrow so that I can some quiet, alone time. However, if someone wants to bug me to got to the gym tomorrow, that would probably be a good thing.

One of my roommates' best friends just got married, and they did not live together beforehand, and apparently is having some of the same issue, sj--she is like "I don't know how to get alone time! We live together! This is making me crazy!" (Poor thing is also new to a city she's not fond of, they were on the phone for a long time last night)

I got up so early and did so much today that it feels ridiculously late at 5pm. Geez. But I had a good time--cheered on my roommate and a whole bunch of other half-marathon and marathon runners, pissed off a guy who wanted me to stop ringing my cowbell for them (he should be glad I didn't bring my roommate's vuvuzela!), and then went on a date where we walked all over Fremont checking out the Sunday Market and the sights. And making out. :)

It is one of the advantages of being unable to work, but every once in a while I do have the urge to go on a vacation all by myself for a few days, and then I feel incredibly guilty for having that thought.

ETA: Yay making out!

ION, if I saw my niece every day there would be no need to ever work out. She likes to be constantly moving, and between lifting her up and down with my arms and bouncing her with my legs over the past two days I am more exhausted and sore than I am when I go to the gym.

One of the happiest couples I know does that plenty.
