I just did a count, and in the last 2.5 years I've attended 10 weddings and been a bridesmaid for 4 of them. Jim's been a groomsman 5 time so far, going on 6. However, he didn't go to three of my weddings with me ( Read more... )

Want to see the Goodwill Loot I wrote about the a little while back Some of these I've already posted about in my What Should I Wear? post (looks like Anna Sui dress wins for cocktails and the creme dress w/red sash wins for the wedding--so thanks for your input ( Read more... )

Thursday I fly out to California to attend Jim's old Tucson roommate's wedding in Santa Barbara. For once neither of is in the wedding, so neither has a pre-chosen outfit. Now there are two events that I need to dress nicely for at the very least. One, of course, is the actual wedding--but this wedding is on the beach. Having grown up in Wisconsin ( Read more... )

Yuck. We just caught another mouse in a glue trap (those things are pretty effective!) Today we're getting the cat, and so I was cleaning the kitchen this morning to make sure we got rid of all the mouse poison, and as I was leaning down with the dustbuster, I see this gray little body on the trap. Jim's now disposed of it on his way to his work ( Read more... )

OH man! On my way to the neighborhood grocery store last night, I saw a sign in a neighboring bar that had a poster advertising the new season of The Wire, and the fact that on September 1st, various members of the cast (including Dominic West--moxielegal--I thought of you immediately), are going to be there. A block from my apartment. But I won't be there ( Read more... )

Yesterday I went out to dinner with Jim and his family. We got crabs and oh boy oh boy were they good. So good that I ate four of them when I should have stuck with only two or three. You’d think, “How is it possible to fill up on crab?” but it is very possible and very rich and I am going to have a little more trouble losing those two pounds I ( Read more... )

I'm being attacked my mosquitoes in my very own apartment. This displeases me greatly!

Also but unrelatedly, I just tried to book a hotel room for just_a_gebby's wedding, but being a trusting dolt told them there were to be four adults for the room, which of course means that there is an additional charge per person. 'Eff that! I guess I will just have to ( Read more... )

bshow's wedding went off with only one hitch--that of her getting hitched to her now-husband, Sean [rimshot!]

I'm awfully tired today, but it was a lot of fun. After seeing the happiness for bshow and her boy, the next best thing was having a reunion of sorts with my old college friends, especially my friend, Chloe, who I haven't seen in years. I am ( Read more... )

I gotta do these quick if I want them ever done, so moving on...
