Laura, I would feel the same way. But you are going to have SUCH a great time at the wedding, and I can't wait to hear stories and see pictures from it.
Saffron: You won't tell anyone about me breaking down? Mal: I won't. Saffron: Then I won't tell anyone how easily I got your gun out of your holster. Mal: I'll take that as a kindness.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Herding cats for fun
Those silly Millers, acting like they fail to appreciate the awesome that is Laura. They are missing out!
I hope you know how much awesome you bring here to the board. It makes me happy every time I get to read what you have to say. Consider yourself hugged, and have a great time tripping the light fantastic at the wedding.

Because books.
I'm sorry about the family stuff, Laura. What you're doing for this wedding is so incredible, and I'm very glad you have added so much to your life with chosen family.
Hugs to Steph and Tom and everyone dealing with therapy fallout. I'll never forget realizing that therapy was going to make everything hurt worse before it started to heal.

Our wings are not tired.
Thanks all, I really do plan on having a wonderful time. I know and love most of the people that will be there. And I plan on dancing with EVERYONE there. I already warned some of the kids' friends. I will likely be a hot sweaty mess, but whatever! Tate's Mom has warned the same, so at least we will dance with each other when we don't have other victims. I'll probably be sticking my wrists in ice water a lot.
I also purchased a squish~it undergarment to make me feel a bit less self conscious about my bulging midsection. [link]

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Laura, I'm sorry that your family isn't going to be there. It's going to be a fabulous day regardless, and please give Bobby and Tate my love and best wishes.
Therapy is hard and scary, which is why I'm still psyching myself up to do it. It scares the hell out of me. I have nothing but mad respect for those that are doing it now. I'm hoping one day I'll have the courage to walk through a therapist's door.

I'm so sorry, Laura. That's tough.

I'm in a self loathing spiral. Someone distract my brain.

Thanks, Karl! The jellyfish feed is very soothing. I'm going to bookmark that one.

The status is NOT quo.
