The wedding was a lot more fun than I'd dared to hope for. The setting was lovely, both Thoma and Jessica looked great. Thoma sat me with my counterpart, his other good female friend Helene. We had a fabulous time chatting with her and admiring his new ring (the first 10 minutes was Thoma screaming HOLY SHIT I'M MARRIED!!! LOOK AT THIS FUCKING RING!! I HAVE A WIFE!!). We left early since we had over 2 hours of driving ahead of us, most of it up this freaky windy road. We left after dinner, while the first few dances were going on. I looked over and Thoma was bathed in this rose-colored light, beaming as his new bride danced with her father. It was one of those perfect moments, where all seems right with the world and you don't want to do or say anything to change that. So we took our leave then, making use of the little daylight that was left to get past part of the nasty road.

We did get to hear some people getting it on in the next hotel room. All this, and a free show!

On the way back we visited a friend of Andrea's, who seems to be a bit lonely. I knew beforehand that a conversation with her is really more you sitting and listening and her talking so I didn't let it get to me, I just listened. Sometimes that's all a relationship is, listening.

We got ambitious after a 3 hour nap at home and mowed both the front and back lawns as well as laying down this weed prevention fabric. So the dogs didn't mess with that stuff too much, we laid down this very classy plywood that came with the house over it. Late last night, as I was not sleeping, I heard what sounded like rodents above our bed. This went on for a while until we realized that the rodents stopped when Rainie, Patrick and Buddy were in the house. Yes, it was the 3 young dogs making a ruckus on the classy plywood. I hardly slept at all and now feel like crap so today I'm coming to you live from El Home Office.
