Jul. 13th, 2009 @ 01:38 pm Happy anniversary, us!
Current Mood: celebratory
Tags: ,
Thirteen years ago today, many of you watched as Huz and I became, well... Huz and I.  :)  Thirteen years later, and we're still crazy about each other.  Who'da thunk?  ;)

To celebrate, we've bought ourselves season tickets to Broadway San Jose.  (Minus one - we're neither of us interested in Legally Blonde, and they had this nice Buy Four option.)  Mind you, the tickets haven't shown up yet, and I need to bug the company about it. 

Huz has also been working with some sort of Langevin equation(s) in his programming.  I couldn't remember exactly what sort of Langevin he was fiddling with when I asked him about it, and referred to it as a Langevin whatsit.  A day or so later, he asked me what flavor a Langevin whatsit should be; after a moment's thought, I declared it should be lemon.  (He thought it would be nice to get me a  lemon-flavored Langevin whatsit for our anniversary.)  After some consideration, we decided on what exactly a lemon-flavored Langevin whatsit was:


Which we shall sample tonight.  Happy anniversary, Huz!

Good thing: It's the Thanksgiving holiday!

Bad thing: The huz caught his almost-required vacation-time cold yesterday, and stayed home rather than going and spending much of the day with parents and family.

Good thing: Lots of tasty food yesterday: decent turkey, good stuffing, good gravy, excellent sweet potatoes and rolls, and 3 different desserts, all really yummy.  (Delicate apple pie with thin apple slices that still had a lot of texture to them; a pecan pie recipe out of 'The Best of America's Test Kitchen' that didn't use huge amounts of sweetening; and my Meyer Lemon bars, this time with extra zest!)

Better thing: There were plenty of leftovers, so I was able to take back good-sized samples of everything back to the huz.  He had traditional Thanksgiving food for dinner.  I had leftover pasta, which was just fine!

Bad (but unrelated) thing: Some oxalis is successfully growing through the weed-block stuff we put down a month or so ago.  Much sadness.

Good thing: Good singing practice today!  (Especially since didn't get to practice either of the last two days.)

Zelda things: Yes, the pretty glowing crystal ball stayed outside!  Got the other one (with much hand-slapping, as it were), and made good progress through the central part of the dungeon (got to boss key, and got the small key past that in the room with many floating platforms).  Pretty glowing sword now.  But no Ooccoo - I guess Ooccoos don't live in the Twilight Realm.  Happily, all the arms of the dungeon seem pretty physically short.  Hope that the Zant heads stay dead - they seem to.  Had a nice hour playing today!

This weekend was totally cool and wonderful.  I can ignore and/or forget the plane flight delays and the hotel somehow managing to have trouble with checking us in (lost reservation) and taking forever to check us out.

(Okay, to be fair that wasn't us.  That was two different people/groups in line in front of us, both of whom had issues that took at least ten minutes each to sort out.)

But a good thing happened while we were waiting in the lobby forever to check out.

I saw a shiny thing on the floor, and went over and picked it up.  It was a dime, and it was minted my graduation year (1995).  Thinking of Avenue Q, I joked that it must be a lucky sign, and stuck it in my pocket.

Things haven't been dreadful here with my folks since then.  But nonetheless, especially on Sunday, whenever being with my parents was starting to get stressful and unhappy, I'd reach into my pocket, and give the dime a squeeze.  And that would be a physical, tangible reminder of the weekend we'd just had, and the friendships that had been renewed, and the hugs that had been liberally passed 'round.  (Along with the cold that many folks - including the huz - seem to have caught, but we'll let that pass.)

Thank you ALL.  You're all fantastic, and I'm going to keep that dime in my pocket for awhile to remind myself of how fantastic you are.
