Surreal Life

It would be hard to top that week in surrealness, but let’s just keep moving forward eh? No reason to jinx ourselves anymore.

Well as you might have read from my previous post, I attended a wedding this weekend. I was very honored to be asked to join in on the nuptial-ness of it all. Although since the ceremony was about 30 seconds long, it was hard to get too weepy. Guess I’ll save that for the big deal they are having in May.

We got up early, got ready and once Rodney & Hope made it our apartment and Lance had finished listening to Michael Jackson, we were on our way to City Hall. Once in the building we saw at least 30-40 people waiting in lines or in the waiting room. There was a wedding photographer with backdrop set up, bouquet salesmen and all manner of people in the waiting room. It was a pretty short wait, maybe 20 minutes which was surprising since it was PACKED. There are 2-3 judges and they call couples back and it’s in and out, 2 minutes tops. The ceremony was probably 1 minute long but the judge was very sweet. I looked over at Lance’s brother for 2 seconds and totally missed Sis saying “I Do.” I imagine they have to be that fast since there are so many people.

After we left it was like “Um...what now?” So we hit up a record store that was going out of business and then went back home. All sorts of calls were made announcing the deed and we vegged out at home for a bit before heading back down for the reception dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. Awesome dinner too by the way. I would have totally wrote that place off as just a touristy place, but DAMN the food is GOOD!

Sis is now being hit hard by morning (all day) sickness so it was as low key as possible. The poor dear has a heightened sense of smell now too. She came back from the bathroom at the restaurant and announced, “Someone had coffee this morning in there.” Eeeep.

Anyways, after we parted (the newlyweds had a hotel reservation) we all went back to our house and talked for a bit before hitting the sack.

Yesterday we were in full effect! Got up early, got my garden all planned out for the deck while theMan cleaned the bathroom. Jzn joined us and I made us some tempeh & veggie pasta salad and pumpkin banana bread for lunch and we hit up some bookstores and paint shops for an art project I’m doing for Jzn.

(Check theMan’s site this week for the recipe above.)

Ended the night by watching 4 straight hours of the second season of Carnivale. Gosh damn it, I wish that show wasn’t cancelled!!!!

So yea....phew....let's see what this week brings!
