Ugh. Some good changes but not all the changes I might want. I feel like I was so young then! Man, where does time go??
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Happy anniversary, Hec and JZ.
Eight years ago: I had both parents, a job in constant jeopardy, and a fair amount of debt.
Today: I have no parents, a job in mild jeopardy, and no debt. Not really the trade-off I would have chosen. At least I have a cat now.

Tom and I got married in '04 too, but not till October. Since then, I've bought a house, got a Masters degree, moved twice, changed time zones, adopted 2 cats.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I met TCG at the end of 2004. Since then I have moved 4 times, got married, and bought a house. My life is infinitely better than I would have guessed it could have been 8 years ago.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I will skip the introspection and go straight to punching linear time in the face.
Happy anniversary, Zmayhems!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hmm, got married to my longtime sweetheart, bought a house, lost a uterus, took up roller skating, and watched a LOT of movies and TV.

ita !, I'm totally with you on being more comfortable working from home. This ergo set-up in the office thing hurts. I'm mainly in the office today to pack up my stuff. They are moving our whole group to another buiding on campus. This is my third office move in a year. And we will move again at the end of this year/early next year. I may not unpack.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
take a minute to reflect on how your life has changed in the last eight years.
I live in the same house in the same town. I've lost about twenty pounds, changed jobs, lost one dog and got another, started providing more care to my parents, done a lot of writing along the way. Not nearly as many changes as most of y'all, really.
As predicted, my mother didn't make it to the colonoscopy. That's the third appointment they've cancelled, and we told my folks not to schedule another one. ::facepalm::
