Dumb thing that makes me happy:
after working for temp agencies for the last 14 months, i finally found a FT, salaried job. They pay 100% of my health & dental, a portion for the rest of the family. It's very nice. I start monday.

That's awesome!! It's such a huge help when an employer pays for insurance.
A loaf of bread, a container of milk, and a stick of butter.

I concur. I just wished they pay for the whole family, but the husband will have insurance soon. I think his will be more costly than free, but hey, who gives a crap, right?

Congrats! I don't think that's a dumb thing at all!
Talking to my 4 year old nephew on the phone. I only see him a couple of times a year and talking to him on the phone means the world to me even if he does just talk about dinosaurs. He's my favourite person in the world :)

:lol: I like playing with his toys. He complains that I hog all of the best toys when I play with him. We always have a good time together because I'll mess about with him whereas everyone else will play with him but they don't regress back to childhood like I do.
One of our favourite games is to throw ourselves into his paddling pool fully clothed. My sister always yells at me when we play that. She's boring :lol:

When I was a kid I had loads of lego. My prized possession was a big lego hospital that no one was allowed to touch except me. I used to love just having a pile of bricks and making stuff from my imagination.

I have no siblings and therefore no nieces or nephews. It's a huge fail.

Um... no. It's awesome.
No gifts to buy, no parties you have to miss cause of some Baptism or some shit EARLY in the morning, no crappy pics to look at and pretend you give a shit and no one asking you to babysit.
You explain to me how the fuck that's a fail!

This is where I win as an aunt. I live 100 miles away. No babysitting duties for me. Pictures are emailed so I can ignore them if I choose to. I don't attend parties and I only buy presents if I actually see my nephew which is three times a year at most and even then I normally forget the present.

I will never have to miss anything for a baptism. I informed my friend Hallie that she is going to be my future children's fun aunt. She said fine but she doesn't want them for the weekends.

Didn't know not liking kids is the equivalent of being the embodiment of everything unholy.
