Today is my Dad's birthday! Everyone say Happy Birthday, Dad!
Today is also my parents' wedding anniversary. I miss you, Mom.

Guess who foolishly over-extended herself over the weekend? I (and a whole bunch of very wonderful friends) have been helping Dad clear out and organize the house. I did this both Saturday and Sunday, and while I *thought* I was not pushing myself physically, I forgot (okay, fine, willfully ignored) the toll that the emotional and mental work would exact.

So anyway, today is one of those days where I am EXCEEDINGLY grateful that my tech editing gig is primarily work-from-home. I am now coated in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
staxxy's magical Kiss It Better ointment, and am ensconced on the sofa with two laptops (work and personal), a stack of writing notebooks, tea, clovisdvlbunny, and Nightmare Before Christmas on in the background. (With three other Tim Burton movies waiting by the TV, because oh my, is this a comfort movie day.)

For those of you who suggested trying the "High Quality Food" that we found in the back of the pantry: No. We took a picture for history, and then threw it out. Other things we have found tucked away include the senior year portraits of my Mom and Dad (let me tell you, my parents have always been cute!), my paternal grandmother's wedding photo, and my report card from my sophomore year of high school. (3.33 GPA, thankyouverymuch.) Yes, the Stroppy One will be scanning all of them when he is done with his current deadline, and then I will post them.

Okay, back to the dayjob. Wow, I am tired and feel like I've been beaten with sticks. Ugh.

Happy birthday, Dad!
Happy anniversary, Mom and Dad!

Oh, c'mon, you must be able to guess who that is. Yes, we finally set up Mom up with her own LJ. Don't expect her to make a lot of posts, but now she can check up on all of us.

Today is also my parents' wedding anniversary! Happy Anniversary!

Obligatory Weather Comment: Snow! Iiieee! Yes, I am working from home today. Hey, the Connector Bus people sent out email saying that buses would be running 60-90 minutes late, if at all. I'll get more work done at home.
So! I finally dowloaded a bunch of photos from my camera.
( Behind this handy cut-tag, club outfit SFDs and photos of my parents. You love photos of my parents! )
Tonight, I am going to finally see the spaaaaarkly vampire movie. What should I put in my coffin flask to take with me? Absinthe or rose liqueur?

Mom says "Thank you!" for all the birthday wishes. Dad is vastly amused that all of you think we're adorable. (*I* think we're adorable, too, but I also think we're crazy.) (The Stroppy One agrees with the latter part of that statement.)

I'm working from home today, thanks to insomnia. Ugh.

Someone remind me that I don't wear long charm-style necklaces, so I should stop looking at this Alice In Wonderland -themed one. (clicky-link!) But goodness, it's cute. I know how it's made, so I just need to find out what glossy medium is used over photo paper to make the lacquered insets for the pendants. (It's not ModgePodge, I know that much.) Oooh, then I could make my own GCS swirly-bat jewelry ...

Right. More tea, and back to editing.

Today is not only two days before Writer Freeze on my current work deadline, but today is also the day I must pack up my office because I'm being moved overnight to an office down the hall. My office is ... well, let's just say thoroughly decorated, so packing it is a bit time consuming. Which means I may not be around much today, so here, have some photos.

SFDs for March 14, 2008 |
( And behind the cut-tag, a photo of my parents on their anniversary! )
Oh yeah, and both pix were taken in my library. (Oooohh!)
These are my parents:
Today is their wedding anniversary. It is also my Dad's birthday. Everyone wave at the parents and wish them happy!

Why?
Because it's my parents' wedding anniversary! Everyone say happy anniversary to my (crazy and wonderful) parents!
Because it's my dad's birthday! Everyone say happy birthday to my dad! (Do I need to add the crazy and wonderful comment here? I'm pretty sure most of you have heard the various stories about him.)
