Minor victory thread

- Start date
I've been split from my marriage for close to a year now, and finally mustered the stones to ask out a gal who I had a crush on in high school (and is still a knockout at 40), and she said yes.
Now, here's to hoping in the future I can post in the Epic Win thread....

Rain, FINALLY!
Just a minor drizzle but it felt good that it was actually nice to be outside for a moment.

GMed for the first time ever yesterday: ran the abduction prologues (no dice, no mechanics, just storytelling) for Changeling: The Lost to two of the people in our game group. It went smoothly, and one of them actually said he liked the way I GMed.

I got a professional massage yesterday for the first time since my wedding day (my sister-in-law paid for me to have one on the morning of my wedding). My husband and kids gave me a gift certificate for this one as a Mother's Day gift and I finally got around to using it. OMG it was lovely. I wish I could afford to have a massage more often.

Ended up making chicken with a pineapple and hot pepper chutney, some sauteed mushrooms, and dark chocolate mousse. I made the mousse into "Worm Cake" for my niece (it's something from a story I wrote for her about a bird). I just add chocolate graham cracker to the top and bottom for "dirt" and hiding worms inside the "mud" mousse. Fun times.

Finished with the hard part of some trouble.
About ten months ago it began. I heard a song on the radio and enjoyed it, but remembered neither the title, nor enough lyrics for an effective Google. I was unable to sing it well enough for someone else to tell me what it was. I was tortured for two weeks, trying to figure out this song. But eventually I forgot about it. My heart moved on.
Two months later, I heard it again. Another week of tortured searching, to no avail.
Another month, another relapse. And then again. Each time I can never pick out enough lyrics, or I just catch the tail end of the song. The radio never gives the title or the band. I move on after a few days of searching, only to be brought back soon after when it plays again.
Today I finally got it. I heard the radio playing in my coworker's office. I sprung from my chair and scrambled to her door. I jabbed a finger at the radio and demanded "WHAT IS THIS SONG?!" She wasn't sure, but she made a guess. I googled for the lyrics, but they didn't look right. Then I stuck my ear close to the radio, trying to eke out some of the lyrics for an effective google search. I got a handful, but they were useless. It kept bringing me to other songs.
Finally my coworker went to the radio station's website and clicked 'Listen Live.' The window had a 'now playing' block, and that is where my story ends.
Nights in White Satin, by the Moody Blues.

Interesting side note: I went to school in California with two sons of one of the Moody Blues, Mike Pinder Jr and Matt Pinder. We were in Chorus together.
A) I live under a rock
B) I didn't know the title. All I could ever catch listening to it was "Oh I love you" which is unhelpful for the google.

I passed my Shotokan 7th Kyu exam. I tested with this guy: Takayuki Mikami - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He's like a real life Yoda. He waddles around like an old man, but at the training/dan test before the kyu test, he did the whole "shrug it off and get all bad-ass" thing.

Off to Eurodisney!
I was doing the dishes and making coffee this morning when my roommate and his girlfriend came downstairs. They both shaved their heads bald to show their support for me and my family. I am still having a hard time fighting back the tears.
I had a job interview yesterday and I think it went well. That said, I don't have the position yet and if they don't call by tomorrow, it means I didn't get it, so stay tuned for this to show up in a rant thread.
Also, Borderlands is on sale for $10 on Steam and I have considered trying it, so I have to admit I am tempted...
