Hi! Well, I promised morbane an update last week. And I *was* in the process of doing a lengthy weight-related update, which may well have satisfied SSar's demands just nicely.

I'm sitting here drinking hot tea and shivering. I won't be plunging into water for several months! We're about 0°C right now! It's an odd sight to see people cavorting outdoors without coats for Christmas, although our Calfornia, Texas, and Florida friends and families can do so.

I ran into an American colleague and his wife when I popped out for a bagel today, and they said that it's extremely odd for them to have Christmas in summer. And, it strikes them as odd that New Zealanders still keep a lot of "wintery" traditions- such as having roast dinners, and wearing Santa Hats that are actually meant for cold weather! And yet, it's warm enough outside to go to the beach. Hmmm.

I am so over the white strapless wedding gown. It's refreshing to see some originality.

I know, right? That one was the third wedding I've been to this year, and none of the brides wore a "traditional" wedding gown. One wore a silvery blue gown, with red embroidery, the other wore a royal blue medieval-style dress, and of course Fran had her beige 40s dress. Very refreshing!

I'm sure it will not surprise you that I'm wearing a green wedding dress! ;)

I'm not the least bit surprised that you will make your wedding reflect you, instead of following the crowd!
