Holidays
With the family the holidays were relaxing. Back in reality, well, not so relaxing. One more horrid semester and then I'm done. I ate like some kind of turbo-swine but at least there was a constant exercise. I went skiing today and managed to hurt my arm. It hurts to bend my wrist now. That was fun. What is it like not to be horrifically clumsy? But the holidays were fun. I was impressed at how charming the Squab was. And my Mom and Dad. My God, talk about relationship role models. They still seem in love. Even if they talk about their sex life sometimes. Which is frightening. And ultimately reassuring.
Ok, so Bridezillas is now on netflix and of course I've been watching it because I love it and it makes me feel like someone with priorities. But now I am planning my not-wedding. Here is a list of reasons why marriage is a bad idea for people like us:
- Neither of us especially likes being the center of attention for an extended period of time.
- Anyone outside of my immediate family makes Squab really uneasy. Or at least, my Mom's family.
- Bridal dresses are usually strapless or have tiny straps. My farms can't do strapless/tiny straps. I've seen pictures.
- I want to travel and have savings and if it's ever feasible, own a house. Wedding money could go towards one or more of these things.
- Squab genuinely believes that marriage is a religious-bullshit holdover thing.
- Our famillies have, um, differing philosophies as to what constitutes an appropriate gathering.
- Neither of us especially likes toasts.
And yet I'm looking at inns in Outaouais! What is wrong with me.
