Our third anniversary was yesterday. But the value of the gifts, as appreciated as they totally are, didn't come close to the cost of the wedding.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That Atlantic article irritated me because all of the personal details. The whole thing needs a #humblebrag tag. "I had a string of committed relationships for 15 solid years, and I flew around the world to research this article, and can I just stress how successful, wealthy, and attractive my friends are? Here's an article about how I heroically made peace with the only part of my life that isn't completely fucking amazing."
I mean, if I had free use of a gorgeous apartment in Chelsea while my friend was on a meditation retreat, I'd probably find it easier to reconcile myself to some things, too.
I think if I had someone to share driving to Tuscaloosa (740 miles?) it wouldn't be so bad. Monica doesn't have a license, so I had to drive to and from Mobile as well.
Cash, hee.
In whoa news, one of the three staff members at the Classics library in town - i.e. the closest thing to a dream job for me here - died completely unexpectedly last night. I feel bad about joking about which member of the department was closest to retirement age. (He was only in his 50s, my friend and I think. I only knew him in a sort of nodding acquaintance way, ten years ago.) Whoa.

I could definitely have approximately the same feeling with five hundred bucks at Target, I'm sure. BUT STILL.
Whoa, flea.
So how much driving in a day/a few days can folks here handle?
My drive up to Canada is about 900 miles, and DH and I have always split it up into 2 days. This summer we're FINALLY going to be doing things my way and driving straight through. (The right and proper way, as my parents did it when I was a kid.)
Wow, flea....um, sunshine out of a tragedy that you happen to have just moved to town?

I kinda hate to drive, so more than 3 hours kills me. But I can be a passenger in a car for longer than that.
Here's my dinner set. I have 8 of the dinner and salad plates, bowls, and the dessert bowls and plates (the flower shaped ones).
Whoa.
Yeah.
... so, how long before you can start networking for the job?
