busy busy busy.
kitten and dick got married a week and two days ago. it was a beautiful wedding and reception; everyone loved it. everyone doted on the bride and her maids. they all loved our dresses. xongo's dad did such a wonderful job ministering the ceremony. the reception seemed so incredibly short, even though it was four and a half hours long...
and now i'm back in springpatch. i called home last night and they were back from their honeymoon in vermont, opening wedding gifts. as i talked to my dad, they loaded up their loot and went home.
well, that wedding's over. one more to go. i'll do my final fitting for my third bridesmaid dress in less than two weeks. in august, i'll be in my fourth wedding -- a flower girl, two different places as a bridesmaid, one maid of honor. gee, what's left?
things have been absolutely insane since kitten's bachlorette party, even more so than before. lots of running around, etc., etc., etc. i haven't spent any real time online in the past week and a half. no diary entries read, no long conversations on instant messengers. just online long enough to check e-mail and the weather. (i'm not even on my own machine. i haven't had time to hook it up since i got back to springpatch. i'm using sprite's laptop, one of the many things she has yet to move out of here.) my time has been filled with vet appointments, meetings, addressing 200+ wedding invitations, and teaching drumline camps. (i'm so proud of our line this year! all the newbies are so talented and so far ahead of the game!)
now it's time to get on the ball with this house. right now it's decor is tornado. sprite's shite is still around, so i can't put any of my new things away. the physical house needs cleaning. i really need to get all this done soon, cuz my new roommate will be moving in in less than a month and i need to get down to writing and practicing music.
gabriel's so adorable. now that he has the entire house to run around in, he's a source of never-ending entertainment. he just simply adores his momma (me). even though he has some bad habits (wakes me up in the middle of the night purring and trying to get me to pet him; trying to use the carpet [or my knee, whichever's closer] as a scratching post), everyday i fall deeper and deeper in love with this cat. he's so wonderful; he's sweet, furry, funny, playful, cute, and so in love with me. he didn't seem bitter at all when i brought him back from the vet on wednesday after he got (insert dramatic music here) the snip. he's often the source of my conversations, so i'm sure that i'll be writing plenty of him here.
so anyway, i think it's time to get back to practicing proverb. this is going to be my day off. i'm sunburnt from running drumline camp this weekend and worn out from my life in general. i deserve a day off, damnit!
let the cleaning begin!!!!
tomorrow.
