See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Thanks, Nilly!

I have officially stayed up too late. I don't have to be at work until noon, but I will be working for 10 hours. Woohoo.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy (yesterday?) birthday, aurelia!

But the cake is easier, and very forgiving.

Hey! Isn't pie supposed to be the easiest??

Maria, I'm so sorry that you had such a rough night, and I'll be sending lots if ~ma to you and your DH today.

There's no cure for AIDS, but I know people diagnosed 20 years ago.

True, a couple of my closest friends are HIV+, and you wouldn't know it unless they told you. And they're in serodiscordant LTRs, too. And they're my age, and I plan to grow old with them.

Happy birthday, aurelia!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

That was the only part of vaguely-affiliated Catholicism that I was good at, honestly.

The "and also with you" part is being replaced with "and with your spirit."

"and with your spirit."

I thought that change was from a year or more ago? It does, however, seem to be more appropriate for Halloween. Signed, Heretic.

I have so much to do, work is really getting in the way.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Ahahahaha! While I was typing this, he came in the kitchen door from the backyard and yelled, "I AM A ROCK STAR!!!" Yes you are, baby. Yes you are.

He IS a rockstar!!!

Happy Birthday, aurelia!

Much ~ma to Maria and DH.

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

Birthday Happies, aurelia!!

Happy Birthday,Aurelia!

I have to brag on Leif a little, we went to his parent-teacher conference and both his regular teacher and the gifted program teacher just had nothing but great things to say about him. His score on the Missouri standardized tests was 820 out of a possible 820. I'm proud of the little guy.

Em's doing well too and made straight A's for the semester but I think it's a little hard for her to have her little brother not just making straight A's but skipping a grade, being in the gifted program, scoring higher in assessments and all that stuff. I think she feels sort of like Simon to Lief's River.

Also, a little job~ma may be in order. Layoffs are coming. I don't know that they'll affect me or even my location, but after last spring I'm really stressed about it.
