I hope this doesn't set a precedent for doing this on everybody's 30th birthday, or I'm going to be busy writing these for the next few years...
Top Ten Reasons Denise Sawicki is Awesome
10) She wore red on her wedding day, and she looked good.
9) She doesn't just send the DVD as a surprise birthday gift. She sends the book they based the movie on.
8) She dressed as a lumberjack last Halloween, beard and all. (link)
7) False modesty? Not a problem.
6) She did volunteer work at a suicide prevention hotline. Some people might be alive today because of her.
5) Time and again, she has proven trustworthy for her wisdom and discretion when sought for confidential advice. (I do not mean how to get my Sims to stop peeing themselves.)
4) She discovered a new atomic particle. ...Well, almost.
3) Some people are content just to make a fan page for their favorite musician. She married him.
2) Four words: Lazy line painter Jane.
1) She has more friends who love her than she knows.

Day 178
People have been asking me how the diet is going. I'm still at it, although I cheat much more often than I'd like, so the daily caloric average is now 1500-1800. However, I've been stuck on one seriously cruel plateau. Go »
The Honeymoon
After our wedding, it was time for Kelly and I to enjoy our honeymoon: Ten days in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and the coastline between them. We (really I, with Kelly's signoff) spent weeks researching and scheduling to pull it off, and the effort was definitely worth it, as we had ten days of bliss. We rode new rides at Disneyland, toured a movie studio and historic ship, saw whales and dolphins up close, ate lunch atop a mountain, hiked among the redwoods, explored Chinatown and Alcatraz, and along the way ate some amazing food.
