I really try to update this journal frequently, but since there isn't much going on in my life, it never seems to happen. But enough stuff has happened that I can now finally update....
Two Weeks Ago: my cousin Donna's wedding. Such an awesome event. I am close to both the bride and groom and that made it all the better. Although the guest list was huge (470 people), the whole thing went off without a hitch. For once, the Italian Centre (where the reception was held) got the prime rib right and I wasn't presented with a slab of gristle on a plate. I took about 120 pictures that weekend, but a picture post will have to wait until I get back to Vancouver and to a faster computer and internet connection.
Last Week: We catered the reunion dinner for the LVR Class of 1976. All I have to say is that middle aged people annoy me. I knew way to many people at that event, including a teacher in high school, and I had no desire to see any of them. Also, the kitchen was oppresively hot and humid, and due to the dishwasher being too small I had to wash the majority of the dishes from a 140 person-dinner by hand. FUN. At least I was paid well.
This Week: The aunts that came for the wedding (an aunt from Italy and another from Australia) made a side-trip to Nelson. My uncle from Vancouver also came up and we had a wee event at our house last night. My nonna having her sisters around her is doing a world of good. It was really funny today at my nonni's house today when my aunts were asked when they were going back down to Vancouver. Once of them said "andremo mercoledi [we are leaving on wednesday]" to which my nonna replied "GIOVEDI [thursday]". Aww.....
ALSO: Italy won some soccer tournament in Germany today. ABOUT GODDAMN TIME!!! Its only been 24 years since they last won.
COUNTDOWN: 54 days until move-in.
