She's Getting Married in One Week!

With the wedding less than a week away, it's all downhill from here. I just hope I don't find myself at the bottom in a jumbled heap, but rather coasting to a gentle stop.

The bride and groom are hanging onto sanity by a thread. Things that have been said/done/experienced by him/her/them in the last 24 hours:

  • Packing.
  • Moving to a new apartment.
  • Finding out other roommate is moving out too, so instead of having to just vacuum your old room you have to help clean the whole dang house.
  • Getting overwhelmingly surprised by the kids and teachers at school with a totally unexpected-up on the stage in a throne-all eyes on you-this is great but I really am uncomfortable being the center of attention-wedding shower.
  • Going to Dad's annual St. Patrick's Day dinner.
  • Getting eyebrows waxed.
  • Finding time to tan so you don't look like a ghost in your wedding gown.
  • Geez, look at the time--I gotta get to work!
  • Did you pick up the rings?
  • Oh no! Uncle Biff didn't get a wedding invitation!
  • We need to make 3 copies of these keys.
  • Hi, mom, did you RSVP for you and grandma or you and a guest? Oh. Is that Steven with a 'ph' or with a ' v ' ?
  • Is Dan going to get here in time to get his tux?
  • We can't sit my mother at the same table as my step-mother.
  • I just gotta throw these clothes in the dryer.
  • Didn't he send those pictures for the slideshow? Wait--I'll call him.
  • I've got to be at the fund-raiser carwash until 2:30, then I'll load up my truck and take a load over the the apartment.
  • Mom, he hasn't eaten all day, please make him a peanut butter sandwich
  • Do we have a final count?

Blogspot has just launched Blogger Images to make it easy to include images in our posts. I shall test this by uploading an image of my niece: It works! Wahoo! In the olden times (last week) we Blogspotters had to use Hello from Picasa, which is a free picture instant-messaging software that worked well for me at home, but I couldn't get it running at work (maybe it was God telling me to get off the blog and do my job). Goodbye Hello , and hello Blogger Images . Thanks, Blogger !

You Were Born in California and Have Never Been to Yosemite?

Until 2 days ago, I would have had to answer, "Nope, never been there." But now I can proudly say, "I have been to Yosemite. I have seen the highest waterfall in the United States, El Capitan, and Half Dome." We joined my brother Bobby and sister-in-law Dee Dee, along with nephew Jeremy, neice Sierra and her hubby Josiah and their little girls Havilah and Gigi for a whirlwind of a weekend that managed to be both exciting and relaxing. On Saturday Bobby & Dee Dee took us on a one-day tour of Yosemite (more pics in the Gallery ). The scenery was tremendous. If there's this much natural beauty just 4 hours from where I live, what wonders must heaven hold? I really enjoyed seeing the families from all over the world. Saturday night Darren & I saw the Eagles at Calaveras County fairgrounds. Great concert. Sunday we kicked back. We did not get enough of Yosemite though and may return this winter.
