geminigirlYes, the time stamp is correct. I'm up at this hour.
It's way too cold to think about sleeping. Cayne has been asleep for two and a half hours, and is in fact snoring. I could probably kick him and make him roll over and snore less, but well, I'm too cold to think about it.
Took care of more wedding details tonight. I said to Cayne in the car, "I'm looking forward to being married to you, but I will be glad when the wedding is done." As much as I enjoy planning parties and such, I'm just not having fun with this.
I have been having fun with helping![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wait choose colors for her new house. Unfortunately, it's hard to do that over the internet, but we've played with color palates, and I think we got some good ideas out of it. If the colors were truer over the web I might have done better.
I should be in bed. I'm not. I drank a large cup of tea in the car on the way home from Long Island tonight and unfortunately the counterperson at the Dunkin Donuts (which we stopped at because it was open and had a restroom we could use) made me regular tea rather than decaf. Not so good when I have an appointment that I have to leave the house at 10 AM for, and then run errands after.
I did get a chance to chat withbensong1 tonight, which was nice. It had been a few months since I'd been able to do that. We talked about aquariumgirl's baby, and how despite a shared first name, the baby is not named for me. I feel the need to make this disclosure every time someone who knows both of us asks about the baby-it seems to be one of the first few questions about her, and almost always immediately follows "so what's her name?" I feel terribly guilty that I haven't yet made it down to visit them, and meet the baby, but it got so crazy trying to move and get settled and do everything, which is why I've promised not to let January pass without going to visit. It's so hard to not be there, and not think about what I'm missing out on, but in some ways, that's life. You make decisions that you think are the best choices and hope that they are really the best choices for you.
I can't say I'm unhappy with the choices I've made, but I am admittedly, sad and a bit lonely up here. Not working has meant not meeting many new people, and while I've certainly met neighborhood people, they're just not the same kinds of buddies that I had in Virginia, or like the wonderful friends that I do have around here. Hopefully there will be some work after the first of the year (salliesandbags if I don't remember to e-mail you this week, can you try to e-mail me?) and that will be another outlet for meeting really cool wonderful people.
Speaking of choices, I should probably go put nice warm pajamas on and get some sleep before I have to get up. I've changed (yet again) the e-mail address in my profile. If anyone has reliable, free, shell space, let me know. I may actually break down and buy a Panix account otherwise.

Date: 2004-12-15 12:37 pm (UTC)Wedding planning sucks because:
a) it lasts so freaking long
b) everyone appears to have an opininion
c) at some point we try to please more than ourselves
Wedding planning is great because:
a) success is defined by one thing, getting married

And there are a lot of moments when I'm supposed to be making decisions about details, or when we're supposed to be making decisions about details when one of us will look at the other and say "who cares, as long as we're married at the end of it?"
