OMG. Who knew?

Study Finds Working At Work Improves Productivity

Mrs. Gunslinger Blogs Again

This is not my wedding cake. We did not have a wedding cake, and apparently Bridezilla™ overlooked providing a vegan desert option. I am pretty sure the bruleed bananas in melted chocolate would have worked for the vegans, but maybe not.

The wedding was lovely. The venue was fine and the chef did a nice job on the food. Everyone commented how yummy the food was.

It was so great to spend a few (chaotic) days with my family... seeing PixelPi and Mr. Pi and my niece The Officiant... meeting new relatives and seeing my kids all together again was amazingly fun.

Thanks to all of you who played Very Important Roles in the wedding. Your behind the scenes and on stage efforts made the whole event possible.

The honeymoon was awesome... Washington state's mountains are probably some of the prettiest geography I have seen in a long time. I will post more about the hotels we stayed in when I have a bit more time.

I am moved in but not unpacked... there is a camera in one of those many boxes and one day, I will find it. In fact, there are so many boxes of Gunslinger's stuff, too, that we may have to break down and get a Pod. Or two. (Then we can proudly say that in fact, we ARE Pod People. Eliminate any doubt anyone had in the first place.)

O-mazing Grace

Angels - absolutely craptastic

Well, my boys did not come through like I hoped this year. It's really okay, though, as the DJ for my wedding coordinates the music for home games... if we had progressed, we might have just ended up sitting around the reception playing Scrabble. Or Bingo.

I have tickets for the "if necessary" game tomorrow. They will look great in a frame as a memory that coulda shoulda been.

I cannot believe ALL of them forgot how to hit a ball. I was mentally coaching them and everything. They didn't listen.

No pizza party for them. No way. They have a few months to think about what they did.

Come On Barbie, Let's Go Party

13 days and counting to The Big Day. I have rearranged the guests fifteen ways to Sunday. I can only hope that the teens do not trample the octogenarians on their way to the dance floor for the latest from the Black Eyed Peas. I can only hope that the Weird People do not annoy the Normal People. Why did I invite the WP anyway?

Music. Ah yes, the music. Gunslinger prefers classics and perhaps some classic funk and I am a Barbie Girl. This is a selection cacophony... All I can say is that our entire guest list will find at least one song they can dance to. Even from a wheelchair.

Friday

I'm tired.

Today, we got our marriage license in Santa Ana. We got lost.
Resisted the temptation of getting married on the spot. I know
my niece wants to do the honors.

Today, we visited the florist in Garden Grove. We did not get lost.

Today, we went to Coco's for an early lunch. We know where Coco's is.

Today, we went to the hairstylist/make-up salon in Tustin for a trial
run. We got lost. I got the hair done (WOW) but ran out of time for
the full make-up. I only got eyeliner and lips done.

Today, we went to the bathroom designer's house in Costa Mesa. We did
not get lost. We picked out everything beautiful for our new
bathrooms.

Today, the painter left me a message saying he doesn't know what color
to paint a bedroom. Since he did not receive instructions, he left.

Tonight, half my house is painted and I am wading through at least 5
loads of laundry.

Poltergeists Et Al

The Poltergeist. Not really sure what is going on here... but... it was serious enough to call PixelPi's cell phone from work in the middle of the morning. That poltergeist sheet freaked me out. Door closing by itself, TV coming on by itself, Woody freaking out, just weird. Ok, so I listen to George Noory every night... that doesn't mean I believe the sheet on his show.

Try taking a shower alone and whilst in said shower, bathroom door closes All By Itself.

Uh-huh, that's right. All By Itself.

Talk about getting to work on time! I was outta here right quick-like.
