My Best Friend's Wedding

It's here, it's here, it's finally here! Marn's getting married on Saturday! Whoo hoo!

I just finished packing (a large part of the fun of any trip - don't read that sarcastically, I actually mean it) for our trip to Toronto. We're leaving bright (well, as bright as it gets at 4:00 a.m.) & early for the airport tomorrow morning. I've got my magazines, gum, Dramamine & fuzzy socks all packed. If you've never exchanged your shoes for fuzzy socks during a flight, you're missing out! It's a nice little upgrade you can give yourself in a world where the upgrade to first class is beyond most people's means.

I've been feeling a little out-of-sorts for the past few weeks. Not in a bad way, just in a "Why can't I get it together right now?" way. Thankfully, visiting with family & friends for a week is usually a wonderful tonic for my soul. Wearing a party dress & strappy shoes doesn't hurt either. Plus, weddings of best friends are the best kind!

Hey Marn, in case I forget to tell you later, I had an awesome time on Saturday.

Happily ever afterly,

Today's Horoscope

"You have a kind of creativity that knows no bounds today and a kind of originality that knows no limits. How are you going to go about expressing this rich creativity that is so abundant inside of you? If your environment doesn't allow you to express this creativity, change environments and try to make a new reality for yourself. This is the only way you will be able to use this incredible energy productively."

I like it! I'm going with it.
