My 2000th entry. Well, according to the system anyway. I've actually made more - put little notelets up here for people or myself, when I didn't have email or it wasn't likely to be read, then deleted them later. But since it says on my user info that I have 1,999...well, then this is the 2000th.
Which is really scary when you consider I've only been a member here since August of last year.... I talk way too much, as I think most (maybe everyone) reading this already know. :)
I thought I'd do something cool and poetic for my 2000th...or maybe tell more about myself...or just muse on words.
I'm not, though. I'm going to say Thank You to my parents. Because they ROCK. Because they're helping us seal our deck (helping? all the verticals are done, the rest of it will be tomorrow, I 'magine).
My parents raised me, taught me, helped me. They are absolutely wonderful people and I wouldn't be who I am today if it weren't for them. (Good and bad, I admit, but you'll have to put up with the puns...no blaming them on my parents, even if they DID give me a book of the things when I was way too impressionable. ;)
I'm so very lucky to have them as my parents, and not just for things like decks and yards. Political discussions and music, movies and books, my tastes have been shaped by theirs (which is not to say we agree on everything; but on enough that I can't make the joke that 'being shaped by' means 'opposing' here, because it's so very far from true).
They put up with me when I was young, and questioning the dietary habits of humans - or learning the proper incantation against a truck that wasn't working.
And I'm still alive today.
That's love.
Hey, mom, dad?
Thanks. I love you, too.
