Derek and I are going down to DC this weekend, to see 2 friends of ours get married.
She and I have been friends since High School, lost touch for about 10 years, and found each other again via another friend (who we have known since Jr. High.)
There's a very good secret that I really want to share with people because I know it will make them very happy, but I can't share it until after the first of the year. But trust me, it's good.
I'm having my first major system issue as a new manager, and seem to be handling it both with command, and without irritating my (highly independent, surprised to be under new management, possibly chagrined that that new management is me) team. It's a fine line, and I'm kind of shocked to be balancing it OK the first time.
Happiness is the almost dowdy camel colored sweater which look frumpy but feels so buttery soft and warm.
The trees on the drive in are turning the colors of autumn and look so beautiful. I can almost smell the tea and pumpkin or apple pie that accompanies autumn. Or maybe a big slice of warm gingerbread.
My nephew who just turned four had such a great time trick-or-treating that he woke up early the next day and wanted to go again.
These noise cancelling headphones are working kind of. The thought that an upgrade would work better is somewhat delicious.
The feral kittens living in my room are starting to accept humans as not-scary, after I've been sharing the room with them for only four days (they moved in right after I flew to Minneapolis, so they've been here longer than that).
Yesterday evening, I tempted all three of them onto the bed with a little strip of paper. It took about ten minutes but they did eventually forget they were scared of me, and I had them leaping all around the bed and could even pet them without them running away.
... then last night, when I was reading and about to fall asleep, I noticed that one of them was going to sleep right on the bed about a foot and a half from my head.

...um...
The Golden Compass comes out in just over a month.
Also, there's three Tori concerts around that exact same date, for which I believe tickets are still available.
Also also, Shonen Knife at Slim's just a couple of days later?

Sable continues to eat wet food, so we don't have to force feed him anymore. He was incredibly sweet to me this morning too.
Umm. I'm hoping to play Arkham Horror twice tomorrow :)
You've got people who love and care about you. Don't listen to the idiots.
There. How's that?
