Hi all, Gwenhwyfar here. Robin is off this week, getting married or something. Oh and that’s not the really silly part either. She’s getting married in Massachusetts (I could be wrong though, the dictionary says that MA also stands for Military Academy, Mental Age, Master of Arts, one’s mother and Yo-Yo Ma), so my plans to crash her wedding were completely shot to hell. 

I begged and I pleaded with her to come to Canada to get married but she wouldn’t budge. So I figured that if I couldn’t go to the wedding, I could at very least do all the fun shit I would have done if I had gotten to go. One bag of rice, two hours, one over-priced, weirdo wedding DJ, five Martinis and three bottles of wine later I think I got the entire wedding experience. 

Now all Robin has to do is to stick the pictures in with the rest of the wedding stuff and no one will ever know that I couldn’t actually be there.

It’s early and I’m still smiling nice for the camera. Or is that plotting? I always get those two confused.

Good, no one’s looking. That right, everybody stare at Robin.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…..

Throwing rice at the happy couple.

“The Bride Cuts The Cake”? Good grief. Thank God for my two favourite words, “Free booze”.

Damn these small glasses!

Man, I love you guys. Really, you’re like… my best friends. This wine is awesome!

Catch the bouquet? You’ve got to be shitting me.

No, you’re the best.

I’ll tell you when I’ve had enough! 

Hahahaha… marflinfna adkinnfsda pfffffft hahahahahaha

mrrffm bfflmmrr mffffff…. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz….

Man, I had an awesome time at your wedding. You looked beautiful, by the way. And what a great party.

Congrats guys!

I spent way too much money on lipstick and lipliner at Macys yesterday, I’m still a little shocked. That’s what happens when you are used to buying makeup at CVS.

I ordered new glasses because my prescription changed. I think with new glasses comes a new personality. I think with these I will kind of nerdy but a little dark.

Oh did I mention I got prescription sunglasses too? I kind of need to see when I’m driving,

Why is it people won’t return your emails but once they have bad news or want to let you down they don’t hesitate to email you?

He’s a smartass, he put a sticky on my bumper. I’m an idiot who knew it was there and forgot to take it off

Now to go clean the refrigetator.

I’m still obsessed with this Plurk thing, I’ve been neglecting twitter. I just like the little mini-conversations you can have with people…I tend to be ignored on Twitter.

I’m also now kind of obsessed with Myxer because now I can get free really cool ringtones. If you text me, now it has Joey saying “how you doin”

We have a screen door in the back that doesn’t latch. Still, the furkids always chose to poke their head through the screen instead of just pushing open the door, which is why we had to replace the screen. We decided to also add a metal gate type thing to it so they couldn’t destroy it again. Yeah, we watched Aurora try to poke her head through the metal gate for about 10 minutes before we just opened the door for her. She definitely doesn’t have street smarts that girl.

I wanted to try to videotape Erik last night as he was dying of heat and crying like a little girl but I figured that might not be funny to anyone else but me.

I am really bummed that I heard the show Dirt is not coming back for a 3rd season. Now where am I supposed to get dirty sex and mass murder all in one??

I am soooo excited to have My Boys back and can’t wait to find out who PJ took to Italy! I’m going to take a totally insane and crazy guess of Brendan.

—————————

I currently have a lot going on so I ask for your patience. I’m trying right now to get my mind off of things, especially stuff I can’t do anything about. Right now I am hoping the anti-anxiety drugs do their job.

I was hoping something to write about would just come to me when I got to work this morning but it didn’t. So instead of coming up with a creative/thought provoking post I’m just going to regail you with the current happenings in my life.

• Today I am getting my hair tested. No it’s not being tested for toxins or diseases, I’m having the hairstyle for the wedding tested out.
• The new thing Erik is doing is staying out in Amherst a couple nights a week to save on gas at a friend’s place. Turns out if he stays out there 2 nights a week he’ll save like more than $100 in gas This also of course gives him the opportunity to start the gay love affair he always wanted to try out.
• This weekend I have to go to the social security office, do the Relay for Life, get my eyes checked so I can get contacts, go out to dinner with some friends, go to a one year old’s birthday party and somehow also get other stuff around the house done.
• I haven’t been to the gym in 2 weeks, not since I got sick. I’m not going to feel bad about that.
• I haven’t heard from my photographer if the pictures came out well so I assume she was so horrified that she erased her hard drive
• I have come to realize why weddings are so looked down upon, it’s because 95% of a wedding and all the planning is about other people, not the couple. About 10 minutes of the ceremony is really about the couple getting married.
• I’m on the fence about writing our own vows, just a few things to say to each other. We both tend to get really nervous in front of groups so I kind of think maybe it might not be the best idea.
• I’m definitely addicted to online programs or social networking sites, whatever they are. When I find out about a new one I can’t help but sign up although usually I get bored within a week or two. So far I’m still kinda digging Plurk even though it’s mostly pointless and I hate that I have to go to the sight to use it unlike Twitter.

An important private post that you don’t want to miss will be up very shortly so stay tuned people!

• I started writing this earlier and it seems to have disappeared. I hope my bullet post will still be as enthralling as it was the first time.
• I feel like I’ve been on a scavenger hunt for over a year now trying to find the right stuff. Trying to find discount converse, hair clips, note cards, and shapewear. It’s never ending. I’m so tired of always hunting.
• I’ve lost a few pounds. I have just gotten to the point where I realize I have to stop thinking about it because that was only making it worse.
• We’ve decided on a song for our first dance, thanks to everyone for no help in that decision. I ended up picking a song I consider to be one of the most beautiful love songs
• We officially now have 4 BMs and 3 GMs but this is certainly something I can deal with. I don’t care if numbers are off, I do care that Erik was let down.
• The entire wedding weekend is completely insane. Friday night is the rehearsal dinner, Saturday morning is a brunch at my parent’s house, Saturday evening is a bridesmaid dinner, Sunday is the wedding and Monday is another brunch. I may be too tired for a honeymoon.
• This week I need to go to the social security office to change my name.  Maybe I should change it to Chesty McBreasterston or just combine our last names to Grausberg (said with a heavy German accent).
• It’s officially bug season, somehow I always forget about the bugs.  Where I live the bugs are EVERYWHERE and I found that out last night while peeing a huge bug landed in my cleavage

Going Chuck

I went to try on my gown again today, put it off for a couple months to lose some weight. I guess I did lose some or the body shaper helped a lot because I got in it. It doesn’t entirely get over my hips but it’s VERY close. This is good, gives me hope. I need some.

We’re officially down to 3 GM but we’re ok with that, it’s kind of uneaven but we’re often uneven anyway one way or another so I guess it suits us. I may have to go into Boston alone tomorrow since my partner in crime has my cold or else I’d drag Erik while still somehow not fully letting him in on what I’m doing. Maybe the jig is up

I love my red chucks with the dress, just love it. So I’ll be short, what’s new?

Now to get to work on the house again, somehow nothing ever seems to get done. My task today is to get as much ready to be put into the shed as possible. If we don’t need it on a regular basis, it is out!
