You guys, I have to confess to complete FAIL to come up with anything inspired to spread the JOY with all of you today; I’ve been crazycakes busy with work, preparatory to a business trip up to frigid Chicago in a couple of weeks, and as such, my brain is frequently only partially functional on anything not to do with EKGs, Adobe Flash, and endless illustrations of the heart. Not joy-making stuff!

I wanted to take the time, however, to thank all of you for bringing JOY and SQUEE to my life on a daily basis; this fandom has been and continues to be a wonderful part of my life and I’m lucky and so happy to be a part of it! I had no idea, when I started fangirling a certain Canadian actor that I would discover so many worthwhile, warm, hilarious, intelligent, eloquent and generous people and I’ve enjoyed getting to know all you, some even in person, YAY! Said Canadian actor clearly deserves heartfelt thanks for inadvertently bringing all of you into my life! (Which I may even be able to deliver in person, one of these days.  ;P)

And so that the spirit of More Joy Day isn’t completely crushed by Icky Work Things of Doom, I am taking tomorrow off to spend the day cooking for a dinner party I’m throwing in honour of my good friend, C, who just finished school in Decembre and passed her nursing boards last Friday. I am so proud of her and can’t wait to lavish her with food, wine and gleeful celebrating. C is awesome and has the most excellent good sense to be completely in love with Paul Gross and Slings and Arrows, too. See? Awesome.

And now I’m off to vacuum and read some More Joy Day posts…not necessarily in that order! Cheers, everyone!
