And because birthdays deserve their own posts (and because I try to, well, not ignore the news around here, because that's impossible, especially with all the family members and friends who are in the danger range, but find ways to remind myself of how-to-deal-with-them): the USA Thanksgiving is in a week from now, right? The 22nd of November?
I'm asking because each year I'm organizing the Slacker Secret Santa, and I usually try to start collecting people's e-mails right after Thanksgiving (I try not to mix any holidays, so I wait for one to be behind those who celebrate it before starting to talk about another).
Are there people interested in doing the Slacker Secret Santa this year? If so, I'll be happy to arrange it this year, as well (it's one of the few things I manage to not-skip, and not even skim, by organizing, and I enjoy it a lot).
If there aren't any people interested, then of course it's fine, too! I'll just have to find some other way to insert the "oh-my-goodness-so-not-tiny Jewish not-Santa" remark, that's all. Because I'm so-not-tiny by now, I really do have to make that remark here, where it's not face-space, just to make sure the what's-going-on is a bit clearer.
Oh, look - I just did find that other-way. Hmm.
HI!
I saw a fucking awesome eclipse in the outback at Palmer River Roadhouse!
I did not pick up any of the Aussie EMS, police or firefighters staged there, despite on of my fellow old lady traveler's orders. However, if you were betting against me
my insistence that there would be no shenanigans this trip
well, you win. Fucking hell,I've got a. ...
pattern? And no, it was no one on the tour.
Just back in Cairns, from dinner and then a wine crawl with some Brits and Aussies, the latter who I want to be when I'm over 70. Elizabeth rocks.
I fed/ was mauled by rock wallabies, I kept my fucking zen, everyone loves my nephews and SIL , my accent is ' cute' and I'm flying fucking high on unsolicitated compliments and Great Barrier Reef is tomorrow.
Yeah, this worked for me. Want to know something hilarious?
I had to ask another party my coconspirator's fucking NAME , which I knew but inconveniently blanked!
Oh my dear loward.
Can't stop smiling over Nilly's news. Be'sha'a tova!
Nilly!!!!
My luggage is exploded all over my room, I've had 2 hours sleep today and you know what? I don't care . Y'all, I've truly embraced the mellow I learned I could find in Spain.
Thanks, y'all!
(Oh, and Jessica, we're totally copying from you guys - after PiToddler, who is a boy just like your Dylan, this time around all the tests show it's going to be a girl.)
Aw, Nilly, what great news!
Congrats, Nilly! That is incredible news!
Happy Birthday, sumi!
