Wow. It really has been that long, huh?

Work is going great. We've been really busy since September. Even a recession can't keep us down.

The girl child is now 14. She has finally decided on a high school and will be going to school down the street from my house.

The boy child is getting much better at reading. He's still behind grade level,...

Yeah, so I lied about having pics in this update. Well not so much lied as I got lazy and tired. Sometimes I feel as though I never sleep.

It actually looks as though I won'e have Kendrick for a week starting after lunch on Christmas. No kids on New Years this year!!!

So my dilemma now is, what do we do for New Years...

Some parameters, as preface. This isn't about yelling, and this isn't about politics, and this isn't really just about Prop-8. And I don't have a personal investment in this: I'm not gay, I had to strain to think of one member of even my very extended family who is, I have no personal stories of close friends or colleagues fighting the prejudice that still pervades...

I'm pretty upset about hearing prop 8 passing...a friend of mine had to get married elsewhere because the vote was impending, and he didn't want his marriage jeopardized. Just...I dunno. Makes me angry thinking about it.

So Pip and I are finally married. We have known each other for 11 years, dated for 4 years (exactly) and have been engaged for 2. I don't think I have ever seen him this happy. And I'm glad that I am the reason for his happiness now.

As soon as I get the rest of the pics from family and I edit them, I...

Best wishes and congratulations to you all. Himself is clearly over the moon now.
crispy:
Aw, thanks!

I don't think I'll be away very long ... though I am surprised I'm still here right now. My account ran out yesterday so it could go *poof* at any time now.

So, how's married life treating you? Does it feel any different?

Yeah, so I'm a little late to the party, but this week is Banned Books Week.

For your reading enjoyment here is a list of the top 100 challenged books from 1990-2000. Since some of these books looked strange to me (why are they on the list) so I decided to investigate. If I found a reason I listed it... in my own special way....

I haven't updated since before thanksgiving, I think. It isn't that I'm trying to stay away. I'm here every day. It isn't even that I'm that busy. I just don't really have anything to say. Same shit, different day.

I will say that I still love my job. If anyone says you can't ever be happy working retail, tell them they just haven't found the...

are you guys planning on going to ECCT this year?
nopantsdave:
You should be proud of me. I am picking the Sox to win the AL east with Manny getting the MVP. And...........I'm picking Atlanta as the WC with Texiera getting the MVP. It galls me. It pains me. It kills me. And yet, for some reason, this is how I see it.

The interwebs ate my journal update.

Everyone go say hi to Cran322. He is a friend of mine and Pip's (and one of my ex-bfs). He is also going to be one of the groomsmen in our wedding. So be nice, though he may be little socially inept at times, he really is a great guy.

Summary of the journal that got eaten:...

I am having very mixed emotions about postponing the wedding. One minute I'm happy that I'll be able to have everything the way that we want it. the next minute, I am seconds away from saying screw it we're just hitting a justice of the peace, not tell anyone, and we'll have a real ceremony later. A few minutes after that I am on the...

Thanks for all of your thoughts guys. I really do appreciate it. This is going to be a rough month for Pip and I, but hopefully we'll be able to get out of town near the end of the month. And my Dad is still coming up here in 2 weeks. I miss living near my dad. Living together, not always so great, but he...
