Just going back a page or two:
Pixi -- have a great week off and best wishes to Eloise (did I get her name right?).
Rachael -- WOOT! HOOT! and DOUBLE-WOOT!
Anne -- hugs and re finales: Castle was just too predictable. Fringe was possibly "predictable" as well but the show is entertaining. Chuck -- well, I have been a huge Chuck fan but with his evolution into super-human-spy some of the early "nerd guy is a spy" wimsey has gone missing. JIm and I were a bit bored by the finale (as I have been for the last several episodes). I think the writers are trapped in a loop of Chuck wanting to be spy-guy; quitting; lying; etc. They need some fresh ideas. Futon Critic has a calendar and I saw Leverage and Warehouse 13 on it but now I forget. A. Idol had it's lowest ratings ever. Lost finale was great (IMO) House had a fairly riveting final episode -- whether it makes sense regarding the characters is for others to say. No one has mentioned Bones -- perhaps that is a mercy? They went for the big shake-up. Wonder if next year will involve a time leap. NCIS!. Oh my gosh the final scene! But would somebody else who watched it explain to me exactly what went on -- I think I got lost.
Diane -- sorry about kid issues Onjel! -- good to see you Liz- safe travels Karen -- you are a sweetie Michelle -- lovely video of the baby
Spring -- how lovely your cousin. Amazing (and just alittle bit creepy) that his art is now being advertised.
HI MOnnie, Julia, Sharky, Matthew, becca, Erin, Sara, Vlad, Riff, baunger1, and Lola
And anybody I missed.
===========
Yesterday I spent 6 hours in the car doing 12 errands and delivering meals to: one broken leg guy, one new baby family, and one flood family. All in Metro Nashville/Davidson County but in 3 far flung corners: 60 miles driving!
So of course today the universe balanced itself out and I've accomplished nada.
As Anne notes: 3 day weekend. Then next week the demolishon of out bathroom begins. I can't wait for it to be done just because I really hate the decisions and expense and worry over whether it will be "right." Which is all ridiculous so I need to calm down.
After that though, it's all downhill -- painting and light fixtures, various furniture. It may take another year or 2 but once the bathroom is done is can move along.

Oh, and a woot!hoot! of our own:
ESPN has put it's 30 for 30 in house documentary series up for Primetime Emmy consideration. And the "episode" they've chosen to submit to represent the series for nomination consideration is the one Allison worked on!
AND! Before she left for Europe she told the other documentary company, that she had been "interning" for that she could no longer work for them. Now they are offering to pay her for one day per week! She has 20% of a regular job! Yay! [Hey, foot in the door people, foot in the door.]

my really productive day: playing GemCrafters until I got enough XP to go up more than ten levels to level 50.
also sometimes I had orange juice or food.
I think I need some goals in life.

So.... I'm gonna ramble a bit, if it's all the same to you. I've had a really good few years. I married the love of my life (which took some doing, all told, really), I had the most beautiful, sweet baby girl I could ever have hoped for (again, much work went into making her happen, too), and now I've gotten just about the best job I could have wanted. I've been really lucky, and I'm so very happy right now, I just wanted to really share it with everyone. This isn't meant to be boasting; it's just that one of the things I value about you all is how much everyS'cubie really thrills for the good fortunes of the others, and I think we all (myself most definitely included) tend to reserve our longest, most heartfelt posts for when things are going badly, so I wanted to make sure I shared my feelings when things were going well. The only thing that could make my life better right now is if my father was here to see it all. He would have been so relieved and happy to see me paired up with Dave, he would simply have adored Emily with all his heart, and he would have been so proud to watch me start my very own lab, 18 years after I landed in my first advisor's lab. My dad wasn't a good husband, but he was an absolutely terrific father and grandfather. I never, not for one minute, doubted he'd jump in front of a speeding train for me, and he was Camille's best friend in the world. Part of what (and who) I am today is born of the confidence of having one person who always thought I walked on water. Knowing, now, that not everyone has that makes it all the more valuable to me. Which brings me back to my husband, again. Dave isn't always the best partner - at least, not if you want emotional openness and lots of deep conversation. But watching him with Emily...I know, without a doubt, that she's going to grow up knowing that her dad thinks she's the best thing that ever happened to him. She's going to have what I had, and because of that, I know I made the right choice of partner. Well, that and the fact that he never stops being interesting to me, not even after...wow...12 years. At any rate, I'm having sort of the best three years of my life right now, and I wanted to share it with people I know will get a thrill out of hearing it. Much love, S'cubes...especially those who've had a really hard couple of years, and yet still manage to be there for the rest. I'm off to Portland to see my SIL graduate from medical school this weekend. Life is good.

With any luck, the last of the Younger Daughter updates: Her heart is fine, the blood tests all came back normal, and her pain is 1 out of 10 with no ibuprofen. Also her appetite seems to be back to normal. she'll be back to school when it starts up again next Wednesday. A five-day weekend, I should be so lucky.

I think it's wonderful that good things are happening for you, and, most importantly, that you've developed the good sense and maturity to appreciate it in the moment. You're a pretty terrific person, all told.

Daughter and granddaughter came over this afternoon and helped me clean house--possibly as a makeup for all the drama this week. I am now the possessor of clean floors and bathroom, hung pictures, much dusting and the installation of a new shower caddy.
Fire bad. House pretty.

And, also, yes, I did tear up. Joy makes me cry. Badness/sadness pretty much just makes me stoic.
