More on gay marriage

Sorry everyone; Chris and I still haven't set a date. We are thinking perhaps a late June Commitment Ceremony, and then a trip when it is convenient to the East Coast for a real Marriage Ceremony. For those who don't know, Domestic Partnership came up in NM. It passed the first round but during the second round Bernadette Sanchez walked out leaving the issue deadlocked for the time being.

Here is the funny thing...Even though people frak around with my rights, if I had the chance to vote on christian straight peoples' rights, even though I don't agree with their ideas, I would never, never vote to take their rights away. That is what it means to have "Family Values".

Thanks to CJ for the following link:

This, btw, is post number 200. Woo-Hoo!

Long live the nerds

One of the recent projects for my class was to find three people, ask them to tell you things they like about you for 3 minutes, then tell them the things you like about them. Sometimes the touchy-feely crap gets to be a bit much, but on the positive side, Chris and I agreed that we like each other cuz we're both nerds.

Questions you should not have to ask.

When I demo fish oil, people usually ask, "Does it taste like fish?" I of course have to maintain professionalism, so my very polite answer is, "Well, it is fish oil, so yes you are going to have some 'fish' taste."
Then there is, upon seeing one of my tattoos, "Did that hurt?" Well, as Teresa says, "Are you ready for hundreds of little knives?" Uh, yes, it does hurt. Fortunately I have stopped screaming at this point in the video.

Better with age

This statue lives in a friend's garden. Every time I go visit I admire this statue. Today I asked if I could take a picture of it. She said that most people think she should get rid of it because it's signs of aging. She and I both agreed that she looked better for her age...she is the Sophia Lauren of E's garden.

I'm not exactly sure what this is or what is says, but it looks cool.
I learned today that a dear friend may have a serious illness. I'm trying to remain calm about this, since the test results won't be back until Friday, but it is very hard not to have big feelings about the "what ifs". It has been a reminder to not put off the important things until 'later'.

Magnum PI

In my Lifestyle and Career class, our teacher gave us an assignment to go through our house pretending that we are a PI, and figure out what makes this person tick. Basically what I discovered is that much of my life is "boxed up", and I'm not just talking about things that I still haven't unpacked from the move. I'm not quite sure what all of this means yet, but it did disturb me a bit to make this discovery.

An angel got her wings...

Well, she still has a little healing to do, but here is a preview. I'll put on my kilt for a nice picture later...
