i've been in a wedding-y mood all night
which has nothing directly to do with valentine's day and everything to do with some of my favorite movies being on tv...
so this is the best explanation i can give:
i am a huge daddy's girl, but not in the trashy chapman way...so, i have lots of things that make me think of special memories with my dad...one of the movies that is super special to us is "father of the bride" with steve martin...dad and i love this movie and have always joked about it in terms of us waaaay in the future...right...well, i'd always had it in mind that i'd send him a copy of the movie someday to let him know that i was engaged...and as that becomes closer to being a reality (not any time soon at all, but definitely foreseeable future as opposed to waaaay in the future), i think about it from time to time...it was on tonight and i was sad not to be with my dad...not just not to be with him, but i couldn't even call him because he's on his second honeymoon with mom in mazatlan (grandma's travel agent best friend hooked it up for them as a twenty-fifth anniversary present at valentine's, even though their anniversary is in june)
all that to say, i love that movie and really missed my dad today
in other news, for those who have not yet heard the seagull account:
lucas and i did some scouting work for the doc retreat last week...it was in laguna beach, literally on the beach, so we decided to have lunch on the beach...we were observing the seagulls jockeying positions to get closer to us, when one flew at me from behind, stealing the fry out of my hand...it knocked my glasses askew as it hit my face (i had a puffy, red mark for a few days and i later realized it would have hit me in the eye badly if not for my sunglasses)...i had planned to throw some fries to the birds, but that one ruined it for the rest of them
