This might tempt you... [link] Remember, wedding gifts are the one time in your life when people like getting you extravagant things, because they know you'll keep them for a long time. So pick things you really love in all price ranges and let the guests decide what they want to spend.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I have now gotten five emails from the same student, all of them finding new ways to ask for a higher grade. I keep saying no. I don't know what he thinks this is going to accomplish.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Can you tell him if he emails you again, his grade will start dropping?

Just ignore the next request, Hil. You've already answered it.

In continuing "this is not my week" news, I moved a ladder on which a coworker had left a metal ruler, and it hit me in two places on the head, giving me a goose egg on my forehead. Could have been much worse, but I could have done without it, too. She apologized profusely, and I've been guilty of the same thing myself. Mostly I'm annoyed I didn't check before moving it.

So, I think I told you guys about my random OMA (out of my ass) lifestyle change. Tonight, I put my hands on my waist and realized that my extra pudge on the sides was almost gone.
Still a lot of work to do on the stomach, but there's definitely movement.

Lazy Susans! REALLY NICE picture frames for wedding photos. And yeah, register for a vaccuum. And a steam mop! Pretty shower curtain? Curtains? Humidifier?
I HIGHLY rec registering at Target! You get to go to the store and zap shit with one of those guns, but you can also go to the site and add stuff!
It doesn't have to be kitchen stuff; I got a charging station and a lamp, among other things.
You SHOULD register; tell Tim that otherwise, you will end up with clown statues and "funny" plaques. People want to buy gifts.

Congrats, Vortex.
I appreciate the inspiration.
I've started a 30 'cleanse' which, in addition to being responsible with my food, includes the 30 day squat challenge (my quads are _screaming_) and 20 minutes of mediation each day.
I thought I might also try to write something (anything) each day...though I don't know if I'll stick to that one.
It is SO time for a change and my backside is making me uncomfortable.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Seriously, y'all, do not repeat my mistakes. I didn't register (funny how you don't do that for an elopement turned wedding) and I got about a billion towels (seriously, we still have some now, nineteen years in) and an incredibly racist cookie jar.
Register. Let the people buy you things.

That's awesome, Vortex.
