...to be alive. And no, I didn't need that to appreciate it, but of course it helps. Yes, that was an awesome weekend. Thanks everybody for coming and for making it possible in so many ways. I am so blessed with friends who are so awesome. Thanks to Enrique and Joe S. for bringing the GameCube and extra controllers. Thanks to Jason for making it ( Read more... )

Okay, it sounds like something I mentioned in my last post is engendering about as much controversy as I ever see on this pitiful journal. So it's worth clarifying:Such an emphasis on not wasting time [on dates who are unlikely to be suitable partners]. I guess that's more important for ( Read more... )

Dragged around with my Mom on various errands, and we made a stop at CostCo.

Meant to report this earlier, but I forgot. Two bits of news:

First of all, Erika has a new job now which she likes. Also, next Friday will be our fifth anniversary! So we'll be flying to Vegas next weekend for a small little recommitment ceremony with family and some close friends. Sure, I'm looking forward to the craps tables (albeit it probably ( Read more... )
