The party is over :(
Rosie's wedding was the most fun I've had in forever! We danced so much that they didn't even leave dessert at our places (our meaning me, Lianna and Charlie). We whined about it until some brought it over and I only took a few bites because I was so full from everything that I stuffed myself with (mostly calamari from the cocktail hour and the mahi tuna that I had for dinner). I really felt sore on Sunday from so much dancing. I had to make a toast which turned out better than I thought it would. I was slightly nervous and my speech was more sweet than entertaining, but I got a bunch of compliments on it. Of course, my dad was surprised that I pulled it off. I made sure I went first though because I knew the best man was going to be a thousand times more entertaining than me, which he was, so it worked out for the best.
I've been sucked in by this whole Twilight series thing and I'm truly addicted to the stories. The dialogue makes me gag and I hate the Stephenie Meyer asks the questions that you would obviously be thinking. She even makes the main character think to herself, "now what's going to happen to this secondary character?" Ugh! Gag me! The plot is so interesting though I can't put it down. I'm on started the third book today, but I have no doubt that if I didn't have work and school consuming my life, then I could have finished the whole series in one weekend. I also dream about the stories as if it was an opera or a musical. I think Twilight the Opera should absolutely happen. There is so much drama and people dying and proclaiming love for one another, but there's also so much unrequited love...perfect for an opera.
Tomorrow I go to a conference at Columbia instead of going to work. I'm not sure which one sucks more. I do know that I get to see Ilana for dinner after work which will be a great start to my weekend (despite the rain that is evidently going to fall all day tomorrow). Saturday I'm starting a new hobby: scrapbooking. I don't think it's something that could really take over my life as much as say...napping, but I'm excited to make a scrapbook. My little sisters and I decdied that while Rosie and Mike were away on their honeymoon we would make Rosie a scrapbook of the "sister bachelorette party" that we held in December. It will be really cute. I'm trying to ignore the fact that I spent $130 today on scrapbooking supplies, though. I found myself staring at shelves of things like stamps and stickers and "bards" (maybe that's the wrong word) and I could not make up my mind. I realized that I wanted ALL of them even if I knew I would never use them. I think scrapbooking is more of a disease than anything.
Okay I'm exhausted... my fingers are not moving as fast as my mind anymore. Good night LJ world.
