I can't help but think

That Uncle Joe alluding to the fact that he may make a bid for the presidency is some sort of divine providence. Lauren is exacting her will now that silly restraints like a mortal body aren't standing in her way.

Two years ago, today

Lauren and Daniel came and spent the night with me and Josh. The day before was our wedding day and they came all the way from Texas to help us celebrate. Throughout the planning, that we put off until the last minute, Lauren was my unofficial wedding planner. She helped me pick everything from the dress to the shoes and reassured me that it would all be fine every time I started to get overwhelmed with the details. The day of my wedding, she was my hair stylist. She spent forever on my mop, making me look the very best she could, while all of us girls hung out in my Mamaw's bedroom laughing like loons. Lauren and I hadn't always been close. In fact, she kinda hated me for a few years. I'd call it a misunderstanding, but I was kind of being an ass...just not to her. She took it personally, though, and we ended up on each other's "fuck that bitch" list. Not actively, mind you. We were both above such petty things. ;) Fast forward a few years and we both became very close to Brad. And, Brad being Brad, united the fronts. We *finally* got the chance to talk it out. I apologized, she accepted and it was rainbows and unicorn farts thereafter. Then we lost Brad. Death is a very shitty way to get very close to others who are also grieving. She and Daniel became constants in our lives. We talked all day, every day during those first few months. We cried, laughed, made fun of people, made fun of ourselves...generally did whatever it took to keep each other's spirits up. We were each other's pillars when we weren't strong enough to hold ourselves up and I will forever be thankful that we became such good supports for each other. Anyway, I'm rambling at this point. I just wanted to share some memories that make me smile. Lauren was one hell of a lady. Smart, loyal, loving, and fierce as fuck. I feel privileged to call her my friend. Hopefully she and Brad will wait a day before they start daring each other to stick things up their bholes...but knowing them, I doubt it.

Cartoon Network. This and Regular Show are two of the best cartoons I've ever watched. Adventure Time gets a lot of credit, and it's okay, but these two, man...they leave me rolling.
