fleaThe US Postal Service now charges a $1.00 fee to allow you to change your address online. And since not everyone in our family has the same last name, that is $2 I am out. Really, what is the world coming to.
In other news, my 23 year old baby brother has gotten engaged, and they plan to marry next May. She is a rising senior and he is a rising sophomore at a Christian college in Ohio (his teenage rebellion (my father is an atheist) turned out to be Methodism, and he is very devout and studying to be a youth music minister). It isn't that young, really, especially when I consider that I met mr. flea when I was 23 and moved in with him 9 months later, and married him at 25. But consider: I knew this child when he was BORN, and some of my strongest memories of him are from the summer he was about to be two, i.e. Dillo's age. Also, Baby Brother spent ages 18-23 living in his parents' house basically doing nothing (had various part-time jobs that didn't make enough to live on). But I guess he has succeeded in his first year in college, and I hope his intended is a motivated young woman (the underachieving men in my family seem to find themselves bossy and ambitious women, which is a good thing, all told.)

Bossy ambitious girls rock, but whiney bitches give me a headache. Let's vote she's the former.
