I Am Title-less and Tire-Some, OR, Less Tired, More Title!, OR, I Have Taken Too Much NyQuil
I got back early evening Monday from a weekend of wedding fun. I am waiting for the pictures to develop but here is a quick preview of the wedding locale, the beautiful Mt. Shasta Resort.
It's funny how pristine the mountain looks compared to how messy the weekend was, but in a good way. So now I am exhausted to the point of delirium, and sick, and thus missed school today. And really I should be doing anything BUT blogging.
Still, I had to tell you comment worrywarts that I did change the sheets when I got home.
And that I only said the F word once and "hell" twice in front of the groom's very nice and ranging-in-but-never-zero-piety relatives. And that I loved seeing all my girls and we giggled just like we used to.
And that I wore my sister's prom dress to the rehearsal dinner. The bride forgot to tell me I was invited, so I scavenged Penny's closet in Redding. Hope that's alright, Pen! Actually, I got way more compliments than I ever get when I wear items from my own closet. Hmmm.
Anyhoo, pics to come soon.
As soon as I stop hacking up a lung every five minutes. Class tomorrow is sure going to be fun! Whee!

I'm seeing taffeta when I close my eyes.

welcome back, sickie. i said the F word this weekend a few times in front of some little pitchers until someone pointed it out to me. then i said it a few more times, gasping and putting my hand over my mouth after each one. think that made them sit up and take notice? :)

Aww, hope you feel better!
Giggling with one's girlfriends is the best. We finally realised that three-way calling still exists, and spent a large chunk of Saturday laughing on the phone as if we were in junior high again, with one twist - we were all drinking. Because that way, we weren't drinking alone.

Welcome back!

Welcome back. Glad to hear about the sheets. Also glad to hear you had such a fabulous time. Whenever I see pix of Shasta, I think, "How pretty. I really should go there one day." (I have passed it several times, just never stopped.)

A little profanity is okay. It helps to portray the image that there's only so much shit you can take. If your class is anything like mine was, the swearing just comes naturally. A couple of professors even encouraged it.
Nice to have you back - I hope you feel better soon.

Hey! I wore that dress as well... and also got a lot of compliments. Though I didn't have quite the bust to fill it...

Sammy--
There was total taffeta going on, no joke.
Jen--
I didn't have the bust to fill it up either, sadly. It made some weird folds at the top and required eternal hitching up.
Penny -- How did you get all the boobs in the family?
Thanks, everyone, for the well wishes. I am still phlegmy and gross but less so than yesterday.

Hope you feel better!
(I thought everyone in So. Cal. had big boobs. Is that just a myth?)

OMG - I am an unconscious cusser too! I seem to do it in the MOST inappropriate situations.

I think I have your cold. I can't stop coughing. Please tell me it doesn't last long. Then again, I do have codeine in the cabinet for such situations. Hmmm ... but codeine and work do not mix.
