you know you are amongst a bunch of arty liberals when, after confiding to them that your father will be voting for arnold, there is an audible gasp and a moment of silence.

we recently found out that the city museum will be having an all out haunted house on the night of the wedding. the boy and i had great fun figuring out all the most inappropriate times during the ceremony when the halloween noises will most certainly creep up the stairs.
"speak now or forever hold your peace" "AAAAAAaaaaah, noooooo!"
"i now pronounce you husband and wife" "Mwaa ha ha ha haaaa"
i figure i'll just trump them all and walk down the aisle to "monster mash"
I'm giving a big talk to the public today. On the bill with me are an Ear, Nose and Throat physician that specializes in middle ear surgeries and did some really groundbreaking research very early in his career. The other speaker is a Neuro-otologist that specializes in cochlear implantation and well, her curriculum vitae is 17 pages long. And there is not one shred of fluff to it.
yeah, and then there's me. speaking last. i'll be talking about non-medical treatment alternatives, the latest digital and assistive hearing technology, and aural rehabilitation. at least that 's what it said on the flyer that went out to 5000 people.
so, um, what did i do? i put off writing the speech until late last night. (just had to try and make my gluten free bagels first, you know). and i put off polishing it (and timing it, yikes) till right now.
5:30 am
leave for work in 2 1/2 hours.
toast.
complete toast.
(and no, the bagels sucked, as do all my gluten free baking endeavors)
If you are in the seattle area, you should come and see what i've been working on lately...

i've been a busy girl. but, true to my style, i've also started procrastinating posting. i think about something great to write and then i put it off. and then i forget it. i also don't have internet at work. and i'm always at work. or rehearsal. or stuck in traffic on the 520 bridge.
we have started to get replies back from the wedding invitations. i'm a little bit afraid because, so far, everyone is saying that they are coming. and, um, there were some invitations that we sent out that were more, like, courtesy invites. yeah, well, they are pretty much all coming. we will likely have to rent more chairs.
so far, the only folks that have told us they cannot come were our two friends we had asked like a thousand years ago to be readers in the ceremony. so, that sucked. luckily, we've got lotsa actor friends that will step up (i hope).
update: because i pretty much suck at posting but i'm the new queen of invitation making
the only thing better than hand-addressing 80 wedding invitations is to do it all twice! the original envelopes promptly fell apart as we were stuffing them. that was cool.
our response cards give you real options:
__we'll be there!
__we have to be there.
__we cannot attend.
__who are you people?
we decided that we will send an invitation to anyone that either mother insists must be invited and not fight it. we just plain don't have the will to fight it. however, my feeling is, the "__who are you people? " selection will and should be checked on several of the response cards...in earnest.
spray mount is messy.
using spray mount on little skeleton leaves is very messy.
i still have glue in my hair.
unrelated to invitations: men don't make passes at women who wear glasses. mostly because their depth perception is completely thrown off and they stumble into walls and have a popeye-worthy bump on their head from bending over into the counter top.
