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.
Spike: I'm not a monster. Xander: Yes! You are a monster. Vampires are monsters! They make monster movies about them! Spike: Well, yeah. Got me there.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I could definitely have approximately the same feeling with five hundred bucks at Target, I'm sure. BUT STILL.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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.
