I have 45 minutes until my massage. Wheeeeeee.
Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

And this! Also, I don't remember extending my wishes for the wonderful birthday you deserve.
Thanks for the comments on my 19 yo self. Honestly, it was a major developmental moment in my life that taught me to never accept the unacceptable. I am grateful it happened so early.
I also had a yelling boss when I was 25. This was a particular concern as I listened to him bark at all the other people in my first weeks on the job. I knew that I would surely burst out crying if he yelled at me. In particular since I was very unsure of what I was doing as the job was much more complex than my skill level. You never really can predict your response, but I shocked myself in a good way when the day came. He came into my office with the arms flaying and the curses flying. I stood up and actually yelled back at him. I told him we had two choices, he could do my job his way or I could do it my way, but if he wanted me to be responsible for the tasks I had to do it my way. He laughed and never yelled at me again. (how I didn't vomit I have no clue)
Over the years it seems that I have this mirror response. It is fight or flight no doubt because the alternative is to curl up in a ball and cry. My confidence level is often zip, but if it a choice between admitting my incompetence or being boldly defensive apparently my choice is instinctive.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
The rest of the attendees - especially Joe - made sure I had a fabulous birthday. I was "caught" putting the candles on my cake and was promptly shooed out of the kitchen with a cocktail and put into my chair. Then I was "caught" again handing out cake to people and was shooed away. Then we played Cards Against Humanity where I won a round by making the phrase, "When I was tripping on acid, Hot Pockets turned into masturbation". Then we played a new-to-us game called "Telestrations" which is HIGHLARIOUS. We highly recommend it. It's Telephone and Pictionary combined and I don't know that I have ever laughed so hard in my LIFE.
It was a magnificent birthday. And in my attempting to be a responsible adult and balance the checkbook, I saw where Joe ordered my gift from (it hasn't arrived yet) and I know what it is and I am SO FLIPPING EXCITED to get it. (He doesn't know I know.)

It is so good to read that your birthday turned out perfect. So, you're getting a camel?!?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
MM should know better than to let "Camels R Us" show up on the bank statement if he wants it to be a surprise.
I'm glad the majority of your birthday was great!

Awesome shirt, Aims. I'm sorry for the OMGWHAT folks invading your birthday like that, but glad that all in all it was great. And happy belated.
And also, I think of you whenever I see a camel.
In other news: tahini. It's so good. It's so tasty. Makes one want to accept it as a personal savior and preach its miracles to those who never heard about it.
Really. That good.
