Well, in less than 36-hrs the panic-inducing part of the ceremony will be over and we'll be sitting down to [hopefully] a good meal.  Trying not to stress about things -- it's too late to change anything at this point so what it is is what it is.

Try not to worry.  I remember only the look in tim's eyes that day.  It told me all I needed to know. 

Best wishes. Enjoy yourselves and your company.

good morning and happy Tuesday

We survived the wedding with minimal breakdowns - a small episode when SP realized the very ambitious decorating plan wasn't going to be fully implemented because of a late start Sunday evening and Monday morning; but I was able to bring him down and convince him it would be fine. And it was.

Both of us broke down a bit during out vows, but that we both expected. Moments of great love and happiness, like our first dance (to Looking-Glass Sea by Eurasure from the Dick Tracy Soundtrack). Worth the intense pain I was in by the end of the night.

Food was good, cake was WONDERFUL, and we've received a lot of compliments on the decor.

Sounds like a perfectly wonderful day.  Congratulations and best wishes now and always. xo

Congratulations, Fae! The important things took center stage, and that's your and SP's commitments to one another.

Enjoy your more intertwined lives. 🙂

Between the "legal" wedding, the "public" wedding, and the legal paperwork in-between (documents to insure power of attorney, wills, etc.) we've joked that we keep "tying the knot" tighter and tighter.  ☺️

Proper knot tying is an art. Congratulations.

It's after hours, so I'm going to pin this note saying hello to you all, on the door. See you around and stay well!

We keep all sorts of odd hours around here!  🙋‍♀️

Take care, my friend.

Have you ever worked with someone and from day one you just clicked? 

I had one of those co-workers at my last job. We jokingly called each other our 'work-wife'. 

I've missed her camaraderie, her wit and her really dirty sense of humor. 

We still text semi-regularly, but with everything going on the past two years, we've only seen each other once. 

That's about to change. We have a dinner date tonight, hopefully hubby can make it if he's not too tired. It's going to be an evening of good food, a few adult beverages and best of all, catching up with a good friend. I'm looking forward to it. Lately I've been a little down in the dumps and today I have something to look forward to. 

I hope everyone is having a good day!

Yep. She's my sister from another mister, and I'm her brother from another mother. We still work together and that's going on 15 years. Partners in crime, through thick and thin, are we. 

I'm glad you're getting to re-connect tonight. I hope you have an amazing time!

It was actually last night and yes, I had a great evening catching up. Lots of laughs, with a few snorts thrown in for good measure. 

An added bonus... I tried Keels Pecan Pie Hard Cider. OMFG. So good!

Pecan pie ... hard cider. That sounds WAY too sweet for me, but the flavors are intriguing!

I've been a writing fool. I'm well into chapter five of my new one, and man, it feels good. Scenes come to me and play across my mind like I'm watching them on a movie. It. Is. ODD. But I'll take it.

Having a bit of rum now after a marathon of a day. Tomorrow I gotta do a lot of cleaning and cooking. Going to have company and I'm in charge of dinner - short ribs, cheesy grits, broccoli are all on the menu!

I hope you're all having a stunning evening.

If anyone would have told me last year that I'd be the one outside climbing an 8ft ladder a couple of dozen times stringing Christmas lights up on the house after doing 45 minutes on the elliptical, I would've told them they were nuts. But lo and behold, 80 feet of lights are hung. 

December and I was sweating my tail off the whole time. Only in Florida do you need sunscreen to put up Christmas decorations. 

I'm beat but still have to clean the living room and figure out how to rearrange the furniture so my son can work on the getting the tree done this week. We have an extra chair and loveseat that we didn't have last year. I think some Tetris skills are needed. 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Bought a Chocolate orange while I was out. It’s official: the Christmas season has begun.
