Over the past few weeks I've have about a dozen different things I've wanted to post about. Some random little blurbs to make me seem witty, some rants, some actual personal insightfulness that would make me feel more connected to everyone... but so far I've only managed to punch out the rare tweet. To paraphrase my own tweet, I've been somewhere between a Charlie Brown "AAARRRGGGHHH!" and a Home Alone "AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!". And honestly, after being in 4 hour lectures and writing papers, the brief thought that I would get some enjoyment out of blogging evaporates and I'm left with, "I don't want to read or write anything word related! I don't even want to speak anything word related!" Just ask my partner, I've been very whiney lately.
So why now? Do I have a moment of relaxation in which to recount all of those previous bits of inspiration? Not at all. I have no idea what I was going to tell you. Goldfish, remember? But I do have a story worth mentioning now.
I'm getting married. No, that's not the story, that's just the background information that you need. I've been planning this wedding for nearly 2 years now. I'm a freak like that. So the wonderful, beautiful venue that Matt and I ogled over when we moved to Calgary, the one that we booked a year and a half ago, informed me yesterday that they have gone out of business! All of a sudden all of my other complaints about life being sucky are meaningless. I have 5 months to start all over again! But, our kick-ass event planner is also a fairy godmother and had a plan B all coordinated for us at another even better and even more cost-effective venue, booked our day, booked the right rooms, and pretty much sorted everything out so that everything we wanted we would get. Once we got the phone call, Matt and I raced down to the new venue unannounced, pulled our new event planner out of a meeting (me hyperventilating the whole time), and she took as through everything. Not only can I breathe again, but damn, my wedding is going to rock!
In other news, those boring classes have resulted in more group stories, one completed one that took us 3 classes to finish, and that will be posted at some point... hey, I never said I was good at this blogging stuff!
