Yesterday Chris and I celebrated 19 years together. Good grief. That number makes me seem ancient, because how could someone my age have been in a relationship for that long? But on Sept. 6, 1992, I got all assertive, made our mutual friend invite him to join us at the movies (after she had slept with him then dumped him for someone else), shoved

Aw, happy anniversary! And I'm guessing the Exec Director is fully aware that she's making the new gal take on the slightly difficult topic, but hopefully the fact that you're new, and awesome, and have done a bunch of good research, will keep people listening with slightly more open minds.

Have a great trip!

Hopefully. I've been warned about one board member though. So we shall see.

And thank you! 19 years. It reminds me that yes, I could technically be a grandmother at this point. (Someone I went to HS with posted on FB a few weeks ago that she's going to be a grandmother and I started to cry. Turns out its an older stepchild though, who's having the grandbaby. Thank god.)

Heh, yeah, my boss used to refer to her town as, "home of the 40 year old grandmother" (she broke the mold by waiting till she was, like, 45). Being almost 40, I'm glad I have no grandbabies O.O.

I've got a bar acquaintance who is in early 40s and has a grandkid. Her son (the kid's dad) comes to the bar with her sometimes and the first time Chris saw them, he thought she'd dumped her boyfriend and was dating someone new. The son looks a little older than he is and mom looks younger, so... Yeah. I just cracked up and said, "That's her kid!"

But yes, glad I have no grandbabies either. Not that I would mind being a grandma, just... not yet.

Aww, congrats on 19 years of up and down and togetherness.

I'm sorry about the dog sitting stress, that shit stresses me out, too. Tonight is bitchy chefs, though, WHEE!! <3

Bitchy chefs for the win! I just watched a little preview clip and wow... there's some serious potential tonight. Plus a Real Housewives cross-over as one of their ladies will be a judge!

Happy anniversary! God. Y'all've been together more than half our fucking lives JFCJFC.

Good luck on your presentation tonight, I hope the board member you've been warned about will at least let you get through it before they start being idiotic.

If only Aunt Brandi could sit for her favorite nephew.

Buddy would love it if you could be his sitter. He adores you. I'm hoping he will take to K right away. We'll see.

When I hit the half my life year, it kinda freaked me out a little.

Happy Anniversary! *throws confetti and hands over magnum of champagne*

Hope the presentation went well!

[moosesal]

Thank you! And the presentation went very well.

Congratulations on your anniversary!

I'm sure your baby will be fine. (I totally freak out about leaving mine behind too.)

[moosesal]

Thank you.

Apparently Buddy took his evening meds from the sitter tonight, so that's a good sign.
