It's my last night in SF. What a trip this one has been. I socialized like a mofo. I wore heels. I had my first cran and soda and my first oysters. Oh and I took my clothing alterations to whole new level. I have moved beyond getting my pants hemmed (I'm 5'1"ish) and sleeves shortened, and had the tailor totally alter a beloved shirt whose cuffed sleeves I can't deal with needing to iron anymore. I am a genius. (okay, I may be exaggerating a bit there.)
I miss Mr. Ilke like nobody's business. It has snowed in Portland while I was away. We get snow like one time a year and this seems to be a pretty big one. He has been out taking long walks in the snow and sleeping on the couch cause the bed feels to empty. I totally know. *sigh* Tomorrow, babe, warm the bed up. *snicker* that totally could be read a couple different ways. fuck it. maybe I mean both of them. :)
The real reason I am writing: I owe bunches of people an apology for a few different things. When I get messages or replies, or I intend to comment on something, I open the page in a tab for when I can get to it. The tab count has grown to astronomical proportions lately. Anyway, I somehow lost all my open tabs. I know one of the oldest I had open was a message from
date101 who was slathering me with love and I really wanted to thank her. So, since I remembered that one, I went to my manage friends list and found cause for my second apology. I have somehow neglected to friend back a BUNCH of people! How did that happen? I mean,
eloquentquill?
rahnee? I am terribly remiss. I have mostly corrected all of them. I don't automatically friend people who friend me, but there were bunches on there that I thought I had. (okay, I'm babbling) So, I still have a few names I don't recognize - maybe different from names on GE or CG or Aff.net, that I need to look into (hint: message me!), but damn I suck. I am very sorry. Please message me for any reason at all.
One that I remember:
lulabelle72 , thank you so much for recc'ing the story. It was so cool to see some of the SS/HG people you know leave reviews. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! (((( hugs ))))
And to
date101 , thank you also hon! Your words were very appreciated. And I'm glad you liked the Forgetting story too!
AND one more message,
wildflower4evr, the hot chocolate lover in me is looking forward to seeing the yummy icons! ((( hugs you )))
That brings me to the last bit of business before I go drift off to sleep...
