Tales of Whoa

First, and most importantly, today is the birthday of one of my most favorite people in all of LJ land, a person who I look for everytime I post fic, a person who I look for HER fic, and someone with a rapist wit. Isn't that it? No? Happy Birthday to the fantastic violethamster, and Trish? Keep your eyes open for a box with mixes. I'm sorry it couldn't be there for your b-day, but I wanted to make sure you got Buffy, too. :-D

Second, uberaeryn and crazydiamondsue (with, no doubt, a kicking and screaming elcazavampiros) watched Christian Kane sweat, grab his crotch, and (somewhere in all of this) play softball (ROVER. The position is ROVER.) And I had a houe full of giggling, noisy 8 year olds running amock at my daughter's b-day party.

( In which the following event lead me to drink... )

In other news, I'm working on writing up the Buffy Mix, am burning the Faith CDs, will make massive post office trip (so far I have 14 people wanting the mix, 3 CDs each, not to mention the "back orders" for the other mizes - meep!) at a later date. Am prepping for Star Wars with Stoney (Stoney Wars? Ego much?), have sprayed fish emulsion on all growing things, so I smell goooooooood. Like a bloody armpit that has carried a few dead fish across the desert. YUM. Off to shower, then I have a personal post to my Number 2 to make, because I love that kid with one third of my heart. Wait. One fourth (sorry, honey.) She gets an entire ventricle. Or atrium. One of those chambers.

Lastly, but not least, today is another of my most favorite people in all of LJ: dusty273. Mari, just thinking about you being in the world makes me happy. you are such a lovely person, so beautiful, smart, sweet, a good mommy to your beautiful twins, and a good daughter, aunt, PERSON. I love wearing my headband (as does No. 2) and listening to my Mari Mix. Think about you often, and it always brings a smile to my face. *smooches you* Mix coming... soon.

Sorry for the spam, but familial pride busting loose...

Also, I forgot to mention this earlier. My brother-in-law, an all around terrific guy, and handsome to boot, is going to be on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition tonight. His construction crew built a 16,000 sq foot home in under 72 hours. Dude. He said it was the most tired he's ever been, but his whole purpose in becoming a builder was to build homes for people, not houses, so this was pretty awesome for him to be a part of.

He's about 6' 5" (we like them tree-like in our family), ridiculously handsome, with VERY broad shoulders, dark hair, tan, tan, tan. And scowling at the back of Ty Pennington, who is apparently an egotistical bastard and ONLY speaks to the families when it's being captured on film. [/sad]

It's a two hour special, with the "How'd They Do That?" tomorrow night. We're not sure where he'll be more prominently featured, but he was singled out an interviewed, as he is ridiculously handsome. And nice.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled nap. Or whatever. :-D [/pride and family love] And, um, it's the only family themed icon I have. Heh.

[ETA] Am watching. no sign of bro, but sign of his handiwork, heh. And for the record: I fucking hate Ty Pennington's white ass. (And the Code Talkers have me bawling. Inuncilo Peshtawah. -Brave Warriors.)
