G’s cousin, Adam, will be arriving at 8pm this evening. I first thought it was this morning, but I read the email incorrectly. I’m very glad for the reprieve. It has given me the opportunity to wash all the linens, clean my desk, pay the bills, file, etc. I’ll also have time to go grocery shopping and make our dinner. I’m thinking Korean pancakes will do nicely. This is actually a savoury meal served mostly cold, for those not in the know. And, I can even make it so I can eat it as well. Wheee!
I was hoping to escape the house early this morning for my walk, but that didn’t happen. Now it’s almost 2pm and my thermometer on the deck says it’s past 90 degrees F (30 some-odd degree C). I don’t think I want to do a whole hike when it’s this warm. Maybe I’ll make it out in another hour or two, then do the shopping. Either way, I need to leave the house. But I’m still doing my laundry (on my 6th load, so far) and I’m almost done filing the bills. I also managed to clip the poor puppies today. I finished Dina but Gana was very moochie and didn’t want to submit to a full cut. She’s a bit lop-sided looking, but it just adds to her character. At least they have less hair and seem a bit cooler today. Poor babies.
I think it went very well. We met the party at Hendricks Park for pictures where the shade was copious and the wind was cool. The photographers were a fun couple who made me laugh and who laughed at my stupid jokes and antics. Anyone can be a winner in my book if they laugh at my jokes. I guess I’m easy that way. They put us in some fun poses, as well. It will be fun to see the pictures.
After that, we dashed home to fetch Flex and my lunch/dinner. We raced back to the church where we gals were hustled down to the basement to prep and re-primp. It was a might warm that day and that church was very stuffy. We were all hot and uncomfortable in our PVC pipe dresses. They certainly do make them impossibly non-breathing. Goodness, considering most weddings are in the summer, why? Why? WHY? Gah. Anyhow, Trish was worried she would pass out between the heat and nerves so we joked about all the funny possibilities. It’s good to be comic relief. I like my job. *grin*
The ceremony was mercifully brief and we hustled people out of the church to head back to Dustin’s parents’ house for the reception. I helped to clean the church a bit before we vacated the premises. I want to see the video of the wedding because, being the shortest person there and stuck on the far end of the altar, I couldn’t see a thing. Then again, I’m not too hot to see myself all glistening with sweat in that gown. I probably looked like an oversized walking stick of lavender fresh with the morning dew. *rolls eyes*
The reception went well. There was a small group of my close friends there,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
muincat, quethal, Julie and Zach, plus Flex. Unfortunately, Quethal, Julie and Zach left just before the dancing started. So, I still owe you that dance, Zach!
Later that night, we drove home, I shed my plastic skin-for-a-day, and hopped into the shower. Everything after that was sooooo relaxing. I hadn’t realized that the only times I sat down all day were during the car rides, a couple of times for 10 minutes or less and for 15 minutes to eat. I was “on stage and performing” all day. I hadn’t realized how tired I was until we had settled into games later that evening. Rob andagthorr dropped in to play Ninja Burger card game and Settlers of Catan. I made smooties and we played into the wee hours.
I am blessed.
Now, I’m going to have to get my blessed arse into some clothes and get out of here to run my errands.
