    I imagine your face looking just as "pleased" in that scenario. :superlaugh:

    Just right of center.
    On three occasions, including this morning, in the last ten or so visits to a fast food drive-thru, the driver (a stranger to me) ahead of me has paid for my food. Is this a thing now?

    Hello again! :)

    I'm not sure if anyone remembers me but I was here last year and left as I was battling severe cancer. I found out last month that I am now 100% cancer free!

    This is the best news my family and I could have ever asked for and I am so happy right now :) Now that I'm better and feeling much more positive I'm going to start up some writing again, and hopefully spend a lot more time here as well.

    Much love to everyone :love:

    Victoria. xx

    Congratulations! Always a trying experience. Good job making it through the hell of searching and the load of paperwork...and the stress of the price...

    The problem with tiny houses is, what do you do when your 700-lb cousin Barney brings over his family of St. Bernards and his Twister game and expects to stay over the weekend?

    Thanks! My adulting skills increased by 10% during this process. Now comes the stress of family And coworker's asking " you got the house, when are you going to fill it with kids!?!?" (Those questions have, unfortunately, started)

    Two years ago (tomorrow) was the first time me and Lost ever spoke on the phone :love:

    Last year I spent a week in the UK to celebrate, this year I'm here full time, but we're still going out for a celebration tomorrow!

    Clear skies, coffee and good music. It's the little things, ya know? Like that pigeon I inadvertently ran over earlier.

    Good!

    What kind of camera & other gear?

    Bless you, Victoria, bless you!
    Congratulations!

    Now you need to make it home!

    Congratulations.

    I'm also gonna do something like that, but I'm so novice that I'm not even a novice yet. Maybe a seed of a novice.

    Congratulations!

    Where is he? Not here?

    Cool! We can cry at each others shoulders telepathically then! :D
    I'm less than a novice too. It's the start of my 4rth and final semester and my school is considered economy class material. This year I somewhat took a downfall due to fatigue (and a bunch of wrong decisions), but I'm gonna make it up at my final project. At least that's the plan.

    Other good news of the day: I finally got my hair cut and it's one of the rarest instances where I actually like them for a change. I usually dread the first day of haircuts.
