I woke myself up last night laughing. Just out-and-out laughing, I couldn't control it. I don't know what I was dreaming about, but it must have been hilarious. Ian was still up, he said I had been laughing for probably a full minute. I was laughing so hard my eyes were watering and I had to go to the bathroom.
In other news, as soon as Ian wakes up, I'm going to ask him for this for my birthday!! So excited!!

top ten reasons to hate open office
1. how do you put the little file stamp in a footer on your document? no idea!
2. you can't cut and paste merged cells, literally adding three hours of work to my mondays.
3. the freaking colors aren't the same as office. they aren't well-organized, either. so trying to match the existing colors on your once-excel spreadsheet is impossible.
4. setting up the print margins is impossible.
5. that little button on the print setup that says "fit to 1 page"? yeah, that doesn't work at all.
6. basically, when you print, it does whatever it damn well pleases. this software and the printer get along very well.
7. when you're highlighting cells, every once in a while (meaning, like one in five times) it will randomly move the cells you're working with. somewhere else.
8. it does a word-guesser in the "writer" (pseudo-word) but if you want to use the word it's guessing? no idea how to make that happen, and i've tried everything i can logically think of.
9. if you're typing in the not-excel and it thinks you want to type something that you don't want to type, the only way to move to the next cell is to hit delete, tab, tab to convince it that yes you're sure you don't want that.
10. when you get into a cell and hit delete, it doesn't just delete the contents. instead, it comes up with a little pop-up asking exactly how much of the cell you want to delete.
i hate open office. oh, and my roof is leaking.

top ten reasons to elope: a day late
1. whatever the ramifications, what's done is done. nobody can pressure you to do something else.
2. the cost is significantly worth it. you don't have to put off buying a house, and therefore having a kid. your kids can have cousins a little closer in age to them.
3. you don't have to spend months worrying about details. because, with a type-a personality, there's no way you're not going to worry about it for the next seven months.
4. all those reasons you said yes, i will... you can get around to saying yes, i do a lot sooner.
5. a million flowers don't have to die to adorn your day.
6. you don't wind up with a dress that you'll never wear again, hope your daughter wears, only to discover how very dated your very classic and modern dress has become in the course of thirty years.
7. to be part of the long tradition of going to vegas to elope. and then see vegas.
8. nobody can feel particularly hurt that they didn't get invited... because nobody got invited.
9. you can spend more on your honeymoon!!
10. you don't have to buy into the wedding industry. you don't have to become bridezilla, torture your friends with ugly dresses that they hate, force your family and friends to spend their hard-earned money to travel hundreds of miles to come watch you do something that can be done with a couple of signatures and an elvis impersonator.
