Today (July 10th) is my second wedding anniversary!   ;D
And you're still alive. That's quite impressive  ;)
Yes it is.   :D

Thanks everyone.  I had to work so we really didn't have a chance to do anything yesterday.

Congratulations OldGit!

I'm going on vacation tomorrow. A weekend in Rome followed by a week long cruise in the eastern mediterranean. Can't wait!

Will get you some pics from the Vatican.

Cool!

^^ That's actually a really cute/sweet idea.  Pudding must be a good husband.

I have a sneaking suspicion he's not a boring one.  ;D

As for me, a funny (good) thing kinda happened today. You see, I'm quickly approaching the final term of my tech writing program and, in our last term, we need to arrange a work practicum. Even though we're living in Ottawa, I wanted to set something up in Newfoundland because that's where we ultimately want to end up, and I thought it'd be good to start making connections in the province, etc. 

Anyhoo, there's a software company back home that seemed interesting, so I wrote them an e-mail and sent them some information yesterday. Today, my sister-in-law calls me and is like, "Hey! Did you e-mail ______ about a placement?" It turns out that my sister-in-law's, husband's sister-in-law works at the company, recognized my name (we've met before) and can put in a good word for me. I had to laugh, because it was totally one of those "small world" moments.

Good news, DJ!

Pudding, I think you've just cracked the gift problem.  Thanks.  :)

See this, see this! I have cute/sweet ideas.
I offer Styrofoam boxes with dirt in them as gifts, so sweet. 
I'm not cheap, not cheap at all.  :D

I got a letter in the mail today saying that I made the Dean's Honours List for my program. ;D
