All right All right!

I promised Chad that I would update tonight. So.

I could tell you many stories about my busy, fullfilling existence, but we all know I've just been lazy. I did have a lot going on at work, plus busy the past week getting ready for my friend Michelle's wedding, but still, I just slacked.

The wedding was last Saturday, and it went off pretty ok, for as bad as it started. We started off early Saturday morning, but I woke up with the beginnings of a major headache. It was so bad by the time we left the hotel that I thought I was going to hurl on the way to the salon. I didn't, although when I saw what this chick did to my hair, I felt even more sick. I asked for a really specific style, I even showed her a picture. I don't know what the hell she did to my hair though. Michelle said I looked like Wynona Ryder in Beetlejuice, which I think was overly kind. It was awful, I don't know how this woman even told herself that I looked stylish in any way whatsoever. But we were in a hurry, and I'm horrible about speaking up, so we just paid (I even tipped her!) and left.

Then we headed over to get makeup done, where they made Michelle look like a clown. We did speak up about that one, and had them redo her. My head felt about 8 times its normal size by that point, but I was still holding up. My makeup came out pretty ok, and so did the other 2 bridesmaids.

By that time, we had to get dressed and get ready, and get pictures taken. It was freezing, it was around 60, and quite windy. I was wearing a strapless top. I thought I was dying. During the ceremony, I couldn't even pay attention to what was going on, because I was too busy trying not to shiver, and to not make funny cold faces.

But once that was done, it was all good. I got to put my big fuzzy jacket on, and got a glass of wine, and start having a good time. I was at the head table, but we had other friends there so Shmee had people to play with. The groom's men were British friends of the groom, and were hilarious. I didn't write down my toast, and of course forgot everything I planned to say as the time came near. Once I started, I remembered most of it though. Then dancing time, which was great.

So that, Chadley, was the wedding. I'll have pictures soon, hopefully. Shmee took quite a few, plus I'm sure I'll get some copies of the professional ones.

And as a last side note, I am typing this post from my bed. Oscar fixed my laptop, and even wirelessed me up, so I can do this anywhere, and I love it. I am looking for any excuse to use this thing any random place that I can. Meaning I will be back to posting more constantly. I'll also try to be more interesting in future posts.

Allrighty then.
