I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

And I have my phone again! HUZZAH! It had quite the journey. Charging up and then I should be able to start dealing with photos from this weekend. Not that I took many...but there is at least a prophetic pic from the back of a Waymo, LOL

Yay! Props to the Waymo Lost and Found protocol. I waltzed in, gave them the number and they handed me the phone.

If only they would also ship, but I grock the liability issues.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

You guys, last night's pre-wedding shindig was a hootenanny. The Sangeet is traditionally the pre-wedding party when the family of the bride and family of the groom sing and perform dances, etc. There was no singing, but there were a few choreographed dances, and then the deejay switched to what I, as a Very White Person, think of as "wedding reception music" and the dance floor was open. Y'all, everyone was dancing their asses off. I've been to weddings where there was less dancing. So much fun! There was a mehndi artist there doing henna tattoos for anyone who wanted one. They're so pretty!

I asked the groom at one point "If everyone is dancing like this for a pre-wedding event, what is the reception going to be like?" And he grinned and said "Basically a rager. With 3 times as many people."

So now the Hindu ceremony is this morning (I am currently drinking SO MUCH COFFEE), followed by a big luncheon, and then nothing until tomorrow's Lutheran ceremony and giant rager of a reception.

Seems like the theme carrying from one reception to the other is coffee.

May everyone have a fully-caffeinated good time!

Punishingly Intricate

Sounds like a great time, Steph!

And, yes, Shir, so happy I was able to meet and hug you!!!

I just renewed my drivers license. Which only expired [checks notes] seven weeks ago. One more onerous task off my list.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Bunch of my students are out today (half-day, holiday weekend) so, it's an easy day for us all. I'm doing random searches on Etsy and they're enjoying free computer time until I take them out for the extra recess they won yesterday (after finding all the scissors they SWORE other people had STOLEN!!) and then we'll have lunch and then specials and then go home.

Your education tax dollars, hard at work.

More recess, less stabbing. Sounds like a win-win situation.
