Highs and lows, tears and laughter

Highs and lows, tears and laughter
Gimme happy ever after
Gimme, gimme that thing called love

I'm tired of complaining about stuff. So today's post is all about good news. Only good news and good thoughts.* Of course there is no mention of the Outlaws.

If you haven't read the amazing story from that nerdy cartoon guy, go here and read it. What a freakin' amazingly good story. And read the comments. He people to write about the best day in their lives. It totally choked me up when I read a couple of adoption stories.

And now for a happy ending: Millie has married Jimmie. Yup, my namesake found her own green glass love. You know how much I love musicals so what could be better? I saw Sutton Foster and Christian Borle as Millie and Jimmie back on my infamous post-honeymoon tour of the Big Apple to see my favorite musicals. Man, did they ever have chemistry. Guess it was more than that. They got married last month. So let's send them off with a grand finale.

I need it
Gimme, gimme that thing called love
I want it
Here I am, St. Valentine
My bags are packed, I'm first in line
Aphrodite, don't forget me
Romeo and Juliet me
Fly, dove! Sing, sparrow!
Gimme fat boy's famous arrow
Gimme, gimme that thing called love!

*I'm off to have my annual mammogram. One of the joys of being an over 40 woman. Hence, the good thoughts.

Good luck with the boobs. Don't be like me and try to take off your pants when you go in there; the techs, they don't understand infertiles.

Best wishes on the mammo, dear Millie.

Chris' comment has me laughing out loud!

Best of luck with the squishing. I liked the Dilbert story; very lovely.

I was wondering what had happened to you - is the job still kicking your butt? What happened to the resignation letter?

Thank you for sharing two happy stories. The cartoon guy's situation is extraordinary, I'd never heard of that disorder.

Hope the mammogram was ok.

Oooh, the squishing! It does not start here until you are 50.

Good luck on the mammogram. I'm still here,lurking. Too tired to have much to say.
