I Am So Glad To Be Home

So, yeah.

Just because I left the internet on vacation didn't mean that everyone had to leave. Only one comment on all of my blogs, and zero spam comments. I mean, I'm flattered and all with the If-Valette-Isn't-Here-Might-As-Well-Close-Down-Shop attitude, but I'm talking tumbleweeds, people.

The wedding went great even though we were still doing last-minute preparations ten minutes after the wedding was supposed to start. Then, instead of raining, it decided to get all sunny and I burned my cleavage.

Most of the guests left the reception an hour before the bride and groom (seriously, what?), and right after the happy couple ran out to the surprise limo my mother-in-law pulled me aside and whispered low into my ear, "Don't tell any of the church ladies, but I put a bottle of champagne in their room for tonight."

Your secret is safe with me and the Innernet, Mom.

But more importantly, I'm back to the Wonderful World of the Internets and it is a magnificent feeling.

Internet tubes are in short supply on the Kenai Peninsula, and downloading Windows and program updates over a 24.6k connection was more than enough to cure me from wanting to do any personal stuff.

Instead, I spent my time wading in the ocean and stapling organza and chiffon and breaking up Miniature Schnauzer fights and avoiding my mother-in-law.

Maybe I'll call in the rest of the week sick.

6 Love Notes

You were missed.

I was literally the last person at my wedding reception. They had to kick me out.

Sorry about the cleavage burnage. I like the wading in the ocean part, though.

ps. Did you use the toast?

The toast! Unfortunately there were no toasts at this reception. Also unfortunately, the bride and groom decided to eat inside the house rather than out in the big reception tent with their guests, and so no opportunity for toasts.

But! Have you noticed how awful wedding cards are? I cut out the greeting of a pretty card I found and replaced it with the toast. So at least the bride and groom will read it. And hopefully chuckle.

Will we get to see pictures (cleavage shots are not required)?

You will. Looks like I took over 350 shots while I was down there, and it will take me a bit of time to process all of them.
