I look more rad than Lutheranism

Brenda, we are going to need a full report on this wedding. It sounds BONKERS.

My mom once went to a wedding where the mother of the groom threw up on the dance floor. Lest you think, oh, it was nerves, or oh, the poor dear must have had food poisoning -- NO. The poor dear was tossing back shots like she was on Spring Break, and it all went downhill from there.

Chocolate cake with strawberry filling and frosting. Delish.

My cousin's wedding included the family of the bride parking next to the outdoor venue, dad getting out of the car with no shirt on, walking to the back to put on a wrinkled button up shirt with his jeans, before grabbing his personal beer cooler.

I also saw more bra straps on display - not the arm straps, the back of the bra - than one would see at Victoria's Secret.

Brenda, that sounds amazing.

Jesse, you made me giggle.

1/2 way through with the interview. Two more people to talk to. Thought I did well with the first guy but his language at the end wasn't encouraging. Ugh. Luck still needed!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Kick some ass, meara!

Luck of the Irish, meara!

Navy retires dress capes, tiaras [link]#

I don't care if they retire the cape, never even knew there was one (optional, so not something we had to have for our seabag). As for the tiara, I never ranked high enough to be able to wear one, optional or not. :( However, I noticed that the article said they were also going to retire the beret. I spit in their face. They tried to do that back around 1985 and we told them where to stick it and they had to bring it back. We'll see just how long that idea lasts.

Movers are here, which is good because this gives me more of today to unpack. Inventory sheet is at the ready.

Hooray movers arriving!

The relationships with colleagues review cracked me up.

Woohoo, one of my conference calls is go! These are such a pain to set up.

You can do it, meara!

Go-go meara!

Go-go, movers-of-shrift's stuff!

I'm on a project review call and am bored to tears. My work motivation is at an all time low today.
