You look almost as good in a skirt as I do, and approximately as feminine.  Only the foolish stand between you and the dance floor.  You've not only been able to turn life's lemons into lemonade, you whip out the occasional lemon meringue pie, or at least make a mean cup of tea.  Plus, you're the kind of parent that a lot of people talk about being, or wish they'd had.

You're so thrilled with mommyhood that it makes me wonder what kind of prodigy Lysander is going to grow up to become as a result.  You know what you like and aren't afraid to speak your mind to get it.  Plus, you're twisted in all the right ways.

. . . and all this, just because you once complained about an ill-fitting bra. ;-)

*facepalm*

I mean, not that an engineering degree would have me skipping down the streets, flinging daisies about, either, I suspect. . .

You hide your light under a barrel sometimes, I think. You wouldn't be so high on the list of good friends of people I think know what they're talking about when it comes to establishing personal regard without something spiffy underneath. You also hide being sloshed surprisingly well. ;-)

Yoga instructors are supposed to be hippy-dippy New Agey flakes, not hard-partying lawyers-to-be. Back in your pigeonhole, woman! You juggle a lot of responsibility with a lot more grace than you probably feel you manage to do.

True as that may be (and wrong as I was thinking that it was John Cusack who said it), you're entirely too good at playing literary inspiration and providing great conversation on just about any subject. I'm flattered that you think of turning to me to get the male perspective on some stuff, because it always surprises me that there's actually stuff you can't simply do, but excel at doing by pure force of will.

You make frikking sewing cool. You still work at one of the original dot.com dream jobs. You travel without fear or reservation, and can go from screaming about hockey to screaming about political injustice without missing a beat, and have your facts and passions right there to back you up.

Pirate Cruise [xpost to gothcruise]

Okay, having spoken with the folks from the Jolly Roger, we're going to be able to reserve the boat.  I am waiting to hear back from them as to what time the cruise will be.  Right now, I do not have a time, and there is not a group name for you to make reservations with, so just relax.

What I'd like is to be able to keep a headcount of who is making a reservation, because it's my credit card number they're getting that's saying there will be at least 25 of us.

So, to reiterate what's already been said elsewhere:  minimum of 25 folks, max of 50.  $39 per person, two hour cruise, to include an open bar, swim stop, and assault on the Carnival ship.

Once I have the details of the cruise times, I'll post them, and folks can begin making reservations.  I am imposing a deadline of Ten PM (22:00) on New Year's Eve as the cutoff to have the minimum number of reservations to go foreward with this.  I don't think it'll be a problem, given the present level of interest, but I don't want to be left holding the bag, either, as I'm sure y'all can appreciate.
