You know who you are

Confidential to the one who called me at 2 a.m.:

Your life is not ruined, and you will get through this, no matter how it turns out. I will help you, even though I'm far away.

Shot through the heart

A bulleted list just for you:

• Dave is officially Dr. Dave, as he graduated on Aug. 5.
• I got drunk at his graduation party and "went to bed" early.
• Had lunch at Spot's in BG and hung out with Jeff last Friday, who was in town from San Jose. Next time you see/talk to him, tell him "Power down, bitch!"
• Our newest copy editor quit, so we're looking again. Boo.
• We've made a decision of sorts that I'm pretty happy about, but would most likely disappoint many other people, so guess what? Not telling.
• Both of us turned a year older last month. I guess I'm weird since most people freak out at the big 2-9, but really, it's just another year like any other. Most days I feel way older than I am, so what's the big deal?
• Joy's wedding shower was last weekend, and it was fun!
• We leave for Las Vegas in a week for Joy & Rodney's wedding, and I can't wait! I tried to get her to get married by Elvis, but she said no.
• Still looking at houses, keeping an eye on the ones that interest me, hoping to be able to get serious about buying relatively soon.
• Have a few pictures from Amy & Joe's wedding, and Dave's graduation, that I may get around to putting up sometime in the next year.
• Going to IKEA with Joy tomorrow, and I'm really looking forward to it. I've heard of the wonders of IKEA, but until recently there wasn't one close enough to us.
• I used the last of the coffee this morning, so Findlay had better hope Dave brings some home with him tonight, or it ain't gonna be pretty.
