(no subject)

Thanks for all of the kind comments on my last post. I want to reply to them all individually but am waiting until I have a couple more spoons to work with. You are all the awesomest, just so you know.

And now for a complete emotional 180 I have the best news ever. I'm an aunt!!!!! Yes, that's right, one of my brothers has successfully procreated and on July 17 my little nephew was born.

You see my brother, whom I have often called the Big Lug, got married last year and moved to Australia (he married an Australian, that being one of the few ways one can actually immigrate to Australia). And now he and his wife have procreated!!!! I've been calling the baby Dingo, because I think I'm adorable, and now Dingo has been born!!!

Baby and mother are doing well. So well, in fact, that my wonderful nephew has already peed all over his dear old dad. I can't wait to meet him for myself, though it may be a while. I'm just so happy that he's a being who exists and I'm looking forward to getting to know the person he becomes. And spoiling him rotten. Because that's what single aunts (or uncles) are supposed to do.

Welcome to the world Dingo! We're all so glad you're here!
