a month away
sorry about not being as active on the blog. I guess before I met Michael, I didn't really have anyone to bitch/complain to, so I just typed it all out. But, really, that's an excuse. I could be blogging about all the stuff we've been doing....Michael's quest for the ultimate homemade pizza (dough and sauce are figured out...now doing cheese tests), my dad's multiple surgeries (he's ok now), all the local restaurants we've been finding and enjoying (Blue Star Cafeteria!!, Phils! Dog Almighty!...), etc etc etc.
But, instead, I'm lazy. sigh. I do feel bad about this, if it makes you feel better! I know Randy in Japan was keeping up with me on the blog, and my buds out in california too....so I feel like I've kinda let everyone down. I'm not on facebook or twitter, and I'm not a big emailer. I also don't text on my phone. So, the blog was really the only electronic communication I was doing. Although, I have called everyone recently (except Randy - need to send a letter). I really should start letting you know more what's going on. Especially now that I have a laptop and can do this in front of the tv!!
Ok, here's an update:
We are now exactly 1 month away from the wedding. 4 weeks left. At this time, in 28 days, I will be married. yikes. Although, I am keeping my name, so I don't know how 'married' I'll feel. Hm. Everything is done for the planning. Final count is 31 people. We had our tasting at the mansion and I think the food will be yummy. We need to talk to Jon about the vows, but I think that's it. We are most certainly not writing our own! But, even the 'traditional vows' have different variations, so we have to do some research. Neither of us like the 'till death do us part'. I personally like the phrase 'for the forseeable future', but Michael didn't think it was wedding appropriate. We found vows that mentions 'through the seasons' which sounds a little better. Anyways...that's one thing left.
The wedding planning has been a little weird - just because we tried to keep it small. Lots of people were expecting to be invited. People we only see every so often. I didn't even invite any of the St Louis people. I am still in touch with Kim, who I worked with at the Courtyard during college, but she's not invited either. I'm really not in touch with my business school friends because they all got married, started having kids, and then they dropped off the earth. I used to try calling every once in a while, but when someone only wants to talk about their kids.......that's about it for me. Although Vicky did send me a Christmas Card this year (with pictures of her 2 kids). I will definitely be sending out wedding announcements though. I gave them wedding presents. It's my turn now!! We're registered at Amazon and Crate & Barrel, so we'll see what happens. Yeah, it's not supposed to be about the gifts....but free stuff is still free stuff. Everyone appreciates free stuff!
I was going to put more, but now Foodtv has distracted me.....

Laptop in front of the TV isn't really much easier for keeping in touch with people than the desktop in the other room, because just about always you'll find something on TV that will drag your mind away from what you're trying to write.
That's one thing about not having cable anymore that has been nice - some nights I just turn on the MP3 player and the TV never even goes on (which ultimately leads to the marathon TV-catch-up night!).
Yes, we're all interested in what you're doing and thinking! Okay, I am, at least. If it weren't for your writing, I would never be able to remember the interesting places you say I should try eating at!
