30 for 30 - please validate my list

by my count I am at 24, and the following people haven't done one with me yet: Aunt Geri, Sarah, and Tommy.

I have three events between now and the end of the year, so that will bring me up to 27 and my Aunt Geri will be at one of them.

I am proposing a remote shotgun event - it would go something like this - Sarah and I call each other, each with a Miller Lite and someone to take a picture of us. We then shotgun simultaneously and scream at each other on the phone afterwards.
repeat with Tommy (although I think he might be somewhere in the greater Madison area - I should really call him)

that means I need one more.... ideas?

review of why I would marry R

1) my entire driveway and sidewalk now devoid of snow
2) crisis with a burst water pipe completely quelled
3) after making me cocoa, he started cleaning
4) said cocoa included irish cream and vodka


slight drunkeness makes me love him more.


heavy drunkeness makes me argue with him.

good to know before the wedding.

nice pilot

Here is something that the pilot said to us after landing (a particularly rough and little scary landing):

Just wanted to remind you that the safest part of your journey is over. Please be careful driving home tonight.

Bad mood at work

how I can tell I am in a bad mood at work:
1) typing becomes erratic
2) Backspace becomes REALLY REALLY angry
3) slamming hands on desk after reading an email
4) realizing I have been furrowing my brow for an hour and it won't unfurrow.
5) making angry snarky comments in documents
6) talking to myself in the bathroom "I just don't understand why she sent me that crap document, I mean jeez, I ask for a project plan list and I get this stupid list of questions, wouldn't a normal human being realize that you should put it into a freakin document and include all the steps to figure this out...."
7) emails sent with only the subject line
To: so and so
Subject: Are you going to set up that prep meeting or are you waiting for me to do it?
Body: except for email signature.
8) start deleting tasks even though they really aren't done
