Post part deux, this time from home!

It's nice to write at home, because I can actually use the Typepad interface, and select categories and include photos and such. That photo is from this time last year. I thought it was pretty funny.

Since I also can't respond to comments from work, and usually when I come home I am too tired, I thought I'd just post an entry in response to a couple things. Why am I not so tired right now? Oh, I came home and stupidly had a almost 2 hour nap. Great. No sleep until after midnight for me.

Anyway, first of all, I'm over the woman who asked if the other woman was coming. I mean, I still think it is beyond rude, but David did not seem to think it was out of character for this person and he's more friends with the husband. So whatever. There's always a couple weirdos about.

Secondly, I do, of course, love This American Life, like all cliched white people do. However, I like Wait Wait! Don't Tell Me! at work because it is a very superficial listen, whereas I tend to get lost in TAL stories. I think my productivity would take a nose-dive if I started listening to it, frankly. Sigh.

I also thought of something else we decided to let go for the wedding - favors. We had a couple different ideas, but then I was all - you know, I just want to spend that money on PPT or wine or whatever. There are a couple little things people can take home anyway, and while they aren't coordinated FAVORS per se, they will just do. I don't really think it is something people miss, and with the exception of some seeds I've received at weddings that I was really happy with, I remember almost NONE of the favors I've ever gotten. So more beer for you guys! Woo hoo!

 

Re: The Departed. Brilliant. Love it. EXCEPT for that very last scene with the rat in front of the State House. OH WOW, MARTIN SCORSESE! Am I supposed to understand that there are rats in the government after a 2.5 hour movie that was about JUST THAT? It was a little stupid, but I liked the rest so much I guess I will forget about it.

David and I are still really hopeful to go to Vermont for my annual 4th of July trip. It's tough though because flights are so expensive right now. I would so hate to miss it though; this is like, my fifth year? Then again, if we stay then we don't miss a friend's wedding party, so really it works out either way. I will just remain zen on this one.

Sigh. I miss air travel the way it used to be for me. Plentiful and cheap.  Those days are long gone, however.

Really, I suppose that is all I have. I should scoot off and use my wakefulness wisely, by writing some thank you notes. That is one of the things about planning the wedding - I have always tended to keep a lot of open time in my schedule to just do whatever I like. This is one of the first times I have needed to use almost all of my time for tasks. It is not really a bad thing. Just... different. I wonder if I will miss it when I go back to normal.

No assigned seats? That's going to disappoint Little Miss, who was counting on being assigned a table away from her parents so Jer could sneak her a drink. Now she's going to have to rely on her own subtrefuge.
