While doing nothing in particular today, I was struck by a shocking thought: posthaste's little one, Sophie, is going to be 2 this summer! How is that possible already? It seems like I was *just* begging her not to have the babe while I was in West Virginia for a visit, as I didn't want to miss the big announcement (she did anyway, though - stinker ( Read more... )

Last Monday (yes, over a week ago. i absolutely suck at updating sometimes. *hangs head*), I came home from work to find not one, but TWO(!) surprise packages on my doorstep.

Inside the first:

Several weeks ago, during a time when I was really struggling, my friend gardenmama reached out to me with an encouraging quote. She left it for me in a comment, and I clung to its message instantly. I loved it so much that I wrote it out on sticky notes, and I stuck the message to my desk: I wanted to see the hopeful words each and every day with ease.

I totally just saw takarakanashi on TV. She's in the crowd on tonight's TNA wrestling. Here's the comment I left to her in her own journal:

I had a dream about syven the other day. This is significant because I really know her very little, but she was fully in my dream. She is on my flist, but she is not a prolific poster, so I've yet to get to know her well.

Just wanted to make note of that before I forget.

My friend hp5freak wrote this entry in the wee hours of the morning, and I found it HILARIOUS. I stumbled onto it at 5:30am, and I nearly peed my pants in mirth. :-) She has graciously allowed me to repost it here:
