Rick and Mindy can tell you that I am almost always late on gymnastics meet night. I swear, I can leave my house at noon for a 7:00 pm meet and still manage to miss half of the first rotation. So when we showed up almost 20 minutes early on Saturday, it was quite an event.

So much so that during the gymnast introductions, when they turn the lights down and flash the lights to try to induce seizures and the gymnasts come out one by one to great fanfare, my daughter leaned over to me and said "Wow! This is cool! They must have just started doing this!"

No, sweetie, they always do this. We're just never here to see it.

Let's mix this up! When you get this message, you have to write something nice about 5 Tumblr people. Let them know. It might be the one kind thing they experience today. GO!

Ok, this is has been sitting in my inbox long enough.

Hamncheezr: What can I say about Des? I love her. I just want to go to her house and spend a weekend a week a month a year watching Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter and talking about books and crocheting all the things. Fine, I want to be her. Is that too much to ask?

Markv9: I’ve been following Mark since the days when I was known as ItmightbePMS. He’s a great dad, raising some amazing sarcastic kids. I can totally relate to that.

Felix-town: I adore Felix. He and his Becky are the cutest couple I’ve ever seen. He’s a fabulous dresser and takes some amazing photos. I’m not just talking about the SSTs here either.

Moobadoo and Njtgc: I’m cheating here and including Mindy and Rick as one. Because they are totally like one person! My Five Guys buddies on Girl Scout nights and fellow gymnastics fans (I promise I’ll make it to this weekend’s meet!). They accept my social dysfunction, which is a pretty big deal.

Rhetoricallydomestic: A new follow after I resurrected as Emergencycupcakes. It leads to me to wonder why I’d never run across her before. (Maybe the internet doesn’t just revolve around me? Whaaaat?) She makes me laugh out loud because I can absolutely relate to her posts. Her ongoing saga to find Butterfinger peanut cups left me riveted. And also, hungry.
