The good the bad and the drunk
Thurs~ our day started at the butt-crack of dawn, well ok not really since in Seattle the sun is out before I normally get up for work even. Our cabby took us the wrong way to get to the airport. I don’t believe he intentionally did this, even turned off his meter for a bit. Still got to seatac with plenty o’ time to check in and fuss. Security was fine. Got onto our plane just fine. …… and then we sat on the tarmac for an hour and a half. Finally got into S.F. with plenty of time to catch our flight…. And then that was delayed 2 ½ hours with 4-5 gate changes to boot. Got into SLO where makoslo picked us up and headed back to his house to chill, grabbed some dinner ( a disappointing takeout trip to our old favorite Thai place) and then headed to tanglwood for last minute wedding plans and hang out. makoslo took us to A.G. to k’s parents house where his mom was waiting up because she “couldn’t sleep”.
Friday ~ Woke up ass early to help set up the post reception space. Ran into gjunell who just happened to be getting his car worked on by the post reception space. Ran around slo looking for some items that were not to be found. I have to say one thing I do not miss about slo is how everything is spread out and you cant run any kind of errand(s) quickly.
K and I went to lunch at tsurugi. Much albacore tataki and spicy scallop roll was had, and whatever k ate :-). Hung out with makoslo until the rehearsal. Went to the rehearsal dinner. Which was a delightful mellow shin dig at murphy_slaw's parents place. Picked up some wine at albertsons, being almost unsuccessful since we have (of course) out of state id’s . the girl at the counter said to k. “we don’t take out of state id’s but since you are older I will”. We then meandered back to makoslo's house for hang out and some wii fun. Many of the out of towners flowed in during Friday so there was much hugging and snuggling, and butt grabbing to be had. I actually commented to a few people about the amount of butt grabbing since it has been a while since I’ve had so much in a single evening. Lots of drinking .im pretty sure I finished off a bottle and then some. We headed back to A.G. late.
Saturday ~ slept in till about 9. Was greeted as I got out of the bathroom after my shower to k’s aunt wanting a hug. Luckily I was dressed. K’s mom, aunt and grandmother where heading out to a mothers day “thing”. Although I'm happy k’s mom thought of me and wanted me to go, I'm glad I had an excuse not to. I don’t think I would have been terribly comfortable at it. Headed into slo forgetting the wedding gift on the counter. K dropped me off at makoslo's and headed to lovegnome's. I napped and read porn as I waited to go to the wedding.
The wedding was gorgeous. The setting was fabulous. gjunell did a wonderful job of incorporating the couple’s personalities into the ceremony. I dislike crying in front of people and had a hell of a time keeping myself from doing so. K looked incredibly sexy in his tux (good choice murphy_slaw and lovegnome). I later had a hard time keeping my hands off him at the reception. :-)
Immediately after the ceremony was the reception catered by tsurugi. Everything was delicious including the keg of my favorite beer. I believe everyone was absolutely stuffed with fish and meat snacks even as we saw more being prepared at the serving stations. (Luckily much of what was left made it to the post reception party). The toasts were wonderful and heartfelt and many. There is something about the joy of a wedding in which you know and love the couple so much and know that they are really really really good for each other. There was much laughter, love and friendship over the course of the afternoon.
I’m happy to report that there was no cake face smashing (I hate that) even had a brief conversation with the bride’s parents about that. Things wound down at the reception and we headed back to A.G. to pick up the gift to be given at the post reception party. Back to makoslo's for decompress and changing of outfits.
Saturday evening ~ let the debauchery begin. ok ok it was not that bad well… ummmmmmm… ok… maybe. I’ll start off with there was lots and lots of drinking I think fractiousboy made my drinks extra strong on purpose, of the ones he made me anyways)…... and talking. I even ended up on the dance floor for a bit, but then the music changed to something less conducive to my lack of dancing skill. It was really good to see so many old friends, including some I had not seen since we moved to Seattle. Oh…. and crotch grabbing just like the good old days, too bad Kenny does not have an lj account that I'm aware of. :-) Unfortunately someone else (ezray) I wanted to spend more time with ended up having to leave early which was sad.
I did however get great pleasure from making ceebaby swoon . hehe. Set up some plans for visitors and hopefully enticed a few others with our real guest room/guest bed.
The evening wound down at about 1:30. Too early for k’s plans. I could have stayed longer as well. We said our goodbyes and headed home with a stop off at makoslo's to drop him off.
Sunday Sunday Sunday ~ aka mothers day. Woke up with a bit of headache and some major blister action between my picky toe and its neighbor. Spent the day with k’s family. It was rather relaxed and low stress, but rather long. Chit-chatted with my mother on the phone for about 45 minutes. In the evening we chilled out and watched a couple of our favorite shows with k’s parents. Got to bed a decent time for the first night since we left home.
Monday ~ woke up a bit early to enjoys dad-in-law’s homemade hash browns. Hung out there until lunchtime and headed to slo for our third round of tsurugi in almost as many days. Yes… yes… I’m a glutton, but it had been like a year and a half dang it! Got dropped off at makoslo's and after a tad bit more hanging out headed off to the airport. Get into S.F. just fine and then…….. our flight to Seattle is delayed …. another 2 friggen hours. Hence me writing my first draft of this enormous post here in the terminal.
I’m sure k will fill in any details I missed.
