Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I remember when it was called parcourse. Which is actually the name of my co-worker's band. [link]
Someone let me know about a personal trainer around hereabouts who trains using the world as a gym. I wish I could afford him. Not that he's that pricey, but any personal anything is beyond my means.
Timelies all!
Had neither a bouquet toss nor a garter toss at my wedding. We had a band, so no Electric Slide or Chicken dance.(We did the hora)
Today I finally got into that spiffy new restaurant, where I could tell the food was probably really good even though it pinged my "no meats + sweets in the same dish" squick. The place was packed for Tuesday lunch, with me being the only male customer there. (And if my read of the two waiters is correct, grand total of 0 straight men in the building.) Afterwards, I went to the Maxfield Parrish exhibit and got to see dozens of luminous paintings that make you want to step inside.

Wow! What a treat to see in person!
Looks like I will be sent on a cruise in May, FOR WORK! not firm on details yet.
I need a job like that!
ita, Anna Kournikova is talking about Krav in this month's Elle. She definitely only just picked it up as part of her column where she tries out different diets and different exercise regimes.
In TV-watching news, this weekend is a free Showtime weekend, and also has the TV-premiere of the refurbished (and soon to be out on DVD) Liza with a Z, so I'm setting my VCR for Saturday night!

We should check out Maxfield's during the F2F - the bar here in SF that has the original of Parrish's Pied Piper behind the bar.
Squee!! I just found out what the office is doing for Admin Assistant's Day - box suite tickets to the Mets/Giants game on that day (April 26th)! Yay! 1/2 day of work (no one around here is going to have a clue)!

Oh, yes. Hobson's Choice might also be popular....
That's great you work in a place that even *acknowledges* that day. Congrats!
A bit of googling isn't getting me any cites for the bouquet toss representing virginity. The two most common internet explanations seem to be: it used to be considered good luck for the bride's friends to take home pieces of the wedding dress as keepsakes, and then, in the interest of saving the dress, it gradually became the flowers rather than the dress; or that it was originally just a garter toss, and then that started to seem too unseemly, so it switched to throwing flowers, and then switched to the bride rather than the groom throwing them, and then people gradually started bringing back the garter toss and doing both.
I don't think I've ever been at a wedding that had a garter toss. I know I've never been at one where the garter was put on the leg of the person who caught the bouquet.
