Why did I do that. I just ensured that it is going to be a hellish day. I should get my coffee now while I have a chance so I don't just stare longingly at the clock as I watch it tick away till the cafe closes and then I'd have to get my coffee at lunch. But they never have French Vanilla then. Only MBNA blend, hazelnut, and ::shudders:: Decaf. OK, I think I'm gonna call for cover and then get my coffee and come back and finish this entry.

OH GOD. That hits the spot. Sometimes, in the mist that hovers across the brown placid surface of this liquid ambrosia, I can actually communicate with the caffeine gods and they share their wisdom with me. They are an old and wise people, who through their generosity, have bestowed upon our planet the gift of Coffee and Coffee-based products. I have a theory that there are many things in this universe that are specific to one planet. And on others, it's missing, yet they yearn it. So while we have coffee, no other planet does. So Aliens come here just to get coffee. That's why they are usually spotted near rural roads. Cuz who else but truck stops make real strong coffee? And on some distant planet, they have our "missing link".

Hey all, just re-capping what's been up since I last posted, which was Thursday morning. Thursday nite I cam home early with my father and then I started getting ready for the wedding the next day. I went to bed.

On friday I slept in till 8:30 which is hella late for me. We woke up and went to see "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" which was excellent and not as dark as the trailer made it seem. Except for the before mentioned Oompa Loompa problem, it was great. I really didn;t like the fact they used the same guy for every part. It made it very weird and distracting. But the kids were good and Johnny Depp was excellent. After the movie, we went and did some chores and then got ready( or so we thought) and took off to the wedding. After a "interesting" ride, we arrived and started to unpack and check into our room. It was then that I realized I had left my dress shoes at the house which was about 1.5 hours away. So I called my dad and he suggested "buying a pair". I went to the local strip mall which was very well-to-do. but most of the stores were ladies stores. I finally found a store that had black mens shoes, I mean, shoes for me that were black, I mean dress shoes that are black leather. They were like 140 though, So I went back to the hotel room un-victorious and said i wasn't going. To that Kari started goin nuts and knocking on people's doors and finally went to GAP and got me black dress socks to wear with my Teva's and that's how I went to the wedding. I thought I would be out of place, but there was some guy there dressed in a haiwian shirt with kahkis at a black tie optional event. So I was good to go as it was.

The wedding was nice and the cocktail hour was AMAZING. I ate a good amount of stuff, but when we went to leave, I discovered my pepto had leaked and didn;t want to take it on the shuttle with me so it wouldn't stain my suit. Well, about an hour into the cocktail hour, my stomach started telling me it wasn't enjoying the party. I thought it was just gas and tried everything to get it out but it wasn;t helping. Then, when dinner came, the smell of food made it worse, so I went out in the lounge. Coke and water didn;t help any, and even though I got sme nice burps out, I still felt bad. We went back to the table and that's when it hit me. A reversal of Fortune. Something that hasn't happened since that bachelor party when I stupidly tried to sleep in a moving car after drinking WAY too much. So I ran to the bathroom and made it JUST in time. A few breath mints later, and I had my appetite back, but of course, the filet had been taken away already. We wee there till the shuttle took us back to the hotel, where we bumped the temp down, drew the shades, and slipped under the sheets till about 9:30am. We didn't use the pool or anything, and they wanted 8.50 for breakfast so I said hell no, and decided to goto Dunkin cuz my apetite was returning. A XL french Vanilla w/ .5&.5 and 6 splenda's and a garlic bagel later, I was ready for the drive home.

We stopped at Target on the way home and got Harry Potter & THBP for ourselves, along with some assorted items and we were off home to start reading before Em's AMAZING LU-OW. The book is good so far. I had a great time there meeting some people, seeing others. We left around 11 cuz we were both tired, and went home. Today I just crashed around and read and did othe rthings while she went to work. At around page 325 now, and still goin. OK, enough for tonight. Have to sleep and read some more. But before I go, your moment of Blonde:

"And for 52.60 they had the books on tape for deaf peop.....(she DID catch herself before she fully said people)" Thank you Dear for the wonderful material.
