Happy Birthday to Sox's daughter, I!
One of my niecephews is going through the college admission process and at one of the interviews she was asked what hardships she'd overcome [to be in a place to apply to the highly selective college]. She blinked and told them "none." Her parents are upper middle class college professors, she's had all sorts of enrichment programs, she gets along with her brother, etc., etc. Then she added that she was, actually, a bluegrass musician who was missing a tooth. Which got her a laugh. I can't imagine how many times the interviewers hear stories of hardship that are about how a student didn't get the grade s/he wanted, etc., so I hope my niece's answer was appreciated for its self-awareness.
Yikes. Edit: That was for Kat, but generally applies!

Tomorrow! Though I sometimes forget, because the 14th and 15th are a total blur.

With that niecephew, a hardship answer might have been "I am not President, yet." But she gave an excellent, honest answer.
Oven Repair Guy is coming over at 2-ish. Which means that I've got to get the kitchen shiny and presentable. Especially the floor which is my least-favorite part.
Tomorrow!
My phone told me today. It lies.
msbelle, I'd never used Elfster before, so I'm still figuring out how to add things. Right now my list is just stuff I could find links to, all of which are likely not appropriate for this exchange. I am planning to fix it today or tomorrow, but I don't want my gifter to worry that my list is too expensive right now.
no worries Pix.
btw - ABalGENSTABSEA participants - the draw has occurred and you should be matched with a giftee now. WHEE!!!
I am possibly a little too excited for all of this.
Hooray, hooray! I got the job!! Which is nice, since I had a series of cascading dreams last night where I didn't. Like, I fucked up the call this morning and then realized it was a dream and had the 'actual' call and got rejected but that was still a dream....
