The County Fair was fun (went with mercy_angel_09 and her husband, and desertkitsune), kind of long, and underlined for me that I am Old. You are Old when you are ready for the carnival ride to be over WELL before it is actually over. Well, apart from the tiny campy-coaster (which made me laugh the whole time), the giant slide, and the funhouse mirrors

I was scarred for life by The Ride from Hell, and felt The Ride from Hell: The Revenge all of Saturday. Much to my mother-in-law's dismay (she thought the residual nausea was pregnancy nausea). But the various exhibits and displays (and the food, cannot forget the food) make it all worth it.

Good luck with your cousin's wedding. Hopefully the cake photos I sent will convince her that over the top cakes are not necessarily the way to go.

Cake is flying level now.

But I've taken to calling this "The Amazing Wedding: On Ice."

The wedding is at 10am, with a cocktail hour after that, and the reception after that. Apparently a cocktail hour is The Thing. This is fine, but 1. you're not allowed to go into the reception hall until after the cocktail hour, and 2. no hors d'oeuvres are being served. So alcohol + lunchtime + no food = DRUNKEN WEDDING TOASTS ARE A GO!

It's being demonstrated to me what the exact definition of "naive" is. As my cousin and her fiance are both very sweet, but they want to do this on their own like grownups!!!! and are also apparently naive.

Your mother-in-law is Sweet. XD That would be her LDS upbrining, thinking you're pregnant less than a year after the wedding. I'm not saying nobody gets pregnant before a honeymoon and/or a master's program, because it happens, but it's not the fun-and-easy route. XD

My mother-in-law isn't LDS, that's my father-in-law. She just wants a grandbaby really bad. Trent and I are not so gung ho. Yet. That isn't to say that birth control is completely infalliable so there's always a possibility of a youngster before we're really ready for one, but at least I know that my mother-in-law would help out while I finished school.

Annnnnd let me get this straight...cocktail hour is going to be at what...10:30 or 11 am? Well, I suppose that it's 5 o'clock SOMEWHERE. Now the real measure of drunken toasts is whether or not there's hard alcohol. We didn't have any at our wedding because our caterer had seen enough weddings ruined by hard liquor, which is why we stuck to wine and champagne. That was enough.

Too bad you couldn't ride through Pullman. I miss people.

No, but give me your address and I'll send you a postcard from California. <3
