Blogging Away

Leaving today for California and Jeff’s wedding. I packed last night and did my “girly” routine. I am glad that it is going to be such a small crowd…and that the few friends that were invited are all very close to me. It will be nice just to sit and enjoy the beach (haven’t been able to since before the accident) and also to have no huge crowds. I didn’t get to see most of these people during the Christmas break like I normally would have….so this IS my Christmas!

 

I think the “pain” factor is finally starting to dwindle down. It is still there…alot…but I think that they have finally figured out what was wrong with me since the meds are starting to work. It will be nice to get bak to my beer-drinking lifestyle. It will be nice not to get exhausted after two hours of socialization. I have felt like such a hermit! The good part is that I have gotten SO much reading done in the past few months. I have always been an avid reader, but the time constraints of having “life” get in the way has halted my progression. I have finished so many books recently! Small favors!

 

PS….on NOG they are starting to show reruns of “My So-Called Life” at 2AM…..yay for TIVO. I loved this show when it was on. Stupid Jordan Catilano.

 

I will be back….with pics (I swear) on Monday.

PPS….you may get a drunken phone call from me on saturday night…..just prepare.

So…I came across this story. It made me laugh slightly. It is especially funny for me because I just had a conversation about what people say in their sleep….is it the subconcious speaking out in protest or is it merely a random flash of images seen from television commercials that carry with it no real meaning. I find it fascinating. Happy Monday!

So…this has, indeed, been a strange week for me. I am on MySpace….as many of you are….and normally I love the reconnection that I feel towards most of the people on there. Most are people that, at one time or another, i was pretty close with. It is nice to find out that A, they still exist, and B, they are still pretty similar to what they once were. However….this week has been odd. First…I find out from a friend that my best friend’s Ex-Husband is on there claiming to be a “great Dad.” Great loser is more like it. I have seen his child more in the past year than he has. 10 times as much. Jackass. Then, his new wife, which I know through a whole sorority debacle is claiming that “Jenna Jameson” is her hero…..JACKASS! But the part that takes the cake…..I discovered a long-lost “friend” whom WK and I know too well….she hasn’t found us yet….but we know she will….and then we will have to become secret agents on the site; parading around like a bunch of “Tammys” in disguise. Look for us in our next adventure, “Tammy hides from the Tail.” sure to be a bestseller everywhere. For those who know what I am talking about….yes….she is back….for those who don’t….I would still run.

 

Hope you have a great weekend, while I don sunglasses and a trenchcoat.

 

New Pics next week!

So…it’s legit….Kelly and Mike got married…and I officiated! I wish that I could say that it went off without a hitch, but it’s a wedding….so of course there were majore catastrophes! It hadn’t rained in AZ in months…but on Kelly’s wedding day…it poured. The wedding was supposed to be outside….but obviously that didn’t happen. Inside was nice, though….and the tacky blue-tile fireplace was well hidden. The groomsmen were drunk….but what else would you expect? The resort was beautiful, but Kelly’s wedding planner and the service sucked. Overall, it was beautiful. A short, yet meaningful ceremony (conducted by yours truly) and a great reception. I am glad it’s over (now I can stress about Jeff’s upcoming nuptials), but it goes down as one of the best things I have ever done in my whole life. This is something I will feel great about for a long time. Her parents got me all teary-eyed when they thanked me and said that I did a good job — something about approval from someone who has known you for almost twenty years….makes the heart flutter. I will get pics posted as soon as possible.

 

Now…Jeff and Jenane’s wedding is approaching in less than three weeks! It will be VERY different than Kelly’s, but also special because it’s one of my boy’s who is getting married. Let the emotional roller coaster continue!

 

PS…Kelly….the marriage license got mailed today! Have fun in Figi! I am SO jealous!

Loyal patrons….i must apologize for my lack of “real” blogging. I have been without a computer for too long and have had to rely on the WK to feed my habit. A lot has been going on…..stuff that I don’t want to blog about….but here are the highlights of what is on the horizon….and a little bit of bitching to be added to that realm.

 

Kelly’s wedding is approaching this Saturday…and I am both anxious and a little frightened. Glad for it to be over with soon (incredibly stressful) but am so glad that is has afforded me a lot of time to spend with Kelly. I am still so honored to be doing this wedding. And Jeff’s wedding is fastly approaching as well…..which will be a “cliffside” treat. Once Kel’s wedding is over and done with, then I can focus on the Changsters. More about weddings in a minute.

 

I start a new job on Monday. Yay.

I have to drink Barium next week. Double yay.

Physical therapy is both the joy and pain of my existence.

 

OK….my gripe on weddings. I was talking to WK yesterday and I was discussing weddings……and the things that piss me off. Here is the number one item that makes me SO ANGRY. Scenario:

I am invited to your wedding. I go to your wedding. I buy you a present (usually a nice one). Within the next three months….i should get a “Thank You” note. I just should. You have invited people to your special day, and for the most part, we are honored to be there…overjoyed, really. I have gone to your registry…or found you something even more fabulous and throughtful….I have written a card that has expressed MY best wishes and congratulations….and you…..YOU don’t even acknowledge it with a a three-line note expressing your thanks! I mean…what the hell? I have been to far too many weddings recently where I have gone unnoticed. Somebody gives you something (unless it is Herpes) you say THANK YOU! Now…the two weddings coming up in the next few weeks will both be sending out cards….so this isn’t really directed to them….but there are others that, frankly, suck.

 

More on Friday, cats and kittens!
