Oh. My. GOD!!! I loved it, and I'm sure there will soon be a million reasons posted as to why I shouldn't, but for now...yeah...really, really happy, and not inclined to be critical of anything right now.

Just a quick post to let everybody know that I've been thinking of you all as the countdown to DH commences. Yes, Erika and I, her friend Emily, and my friend cuspgirl have tix for midnight.
