It's About Freakin' Time

Typepad has finally seen fit to include me in their new platform, which was introduced in, oh, JULY.

I'm not sure what this means for me since I don't seem to blog anymore.

Oh, you wanted photos? I've put some on Flickr, and will add a few each day.

Ali and Allan's Lex Vegas Wedding

Old Married Lady

That's what my friend Amy kept calling me on Saturday at our open house. That's right, we had people over the day after our wedding, because why not? There's never enough time to talk to people at a wedding reception.

My kids are back in France.. The house is quiet again, the cats are looking around as if to say "What happened?" and I'm planning to avoid the projected 92° heat (that's 33° for those of you not in the US) somehow — maybe by dealing with the 83 messages in my inbox.

Oh, you are wanting photos, n'est-ce pas? You may have stumbled on the Flickr group dedicated to our wedding. If not, click that link! And when I get the photos from our official photographer (watch out, the music starts automatically on that page), I will provide a link.

We had a great weekend. What a way to start off our married life!

Thank You

To all who left the sweet comments on my previous post, thank you. I'm saying it this way because I am incapable of doing it individually right now.

We pulled it off! We're married, and nobody lost an eye.

And I will point you in the direction of photos as soon as I can.

Uh-Huh

Folks are starting to flock to Lexington for our occasion tomorrow evening.

That's right. Allan and I are getting hitched. Now, if anyone sees my brain anywhere, give me a yell, mmmkay?

Marked As Read

1000+ items in Google Reader.

I did read some things. Then I had to give up. I meant to go to bed two hours ago!

Also, my apologies for not answering comments on my last couple of posts. Those, too, were marked as read in Gmail.

Oh, and hi! I'm still alive!

Sofa King Random

My favorite expression these past few months has been "sofa king." Anyway, I went to the grocery store to get a few things—shrimp, red bell pepper, garlic, and fresh ginger—for dinner, and on my way home I heard a song on First Wave that made me say "I have GOT to keep a running list of songs to play at our wedding reception." (No, there's no date set yet.)

I told this to Allan when I got home, and he said "You should blog about it."

Then his eyes got all twinkly, and he added "You know, to get some tongues wagging."

I'm pretty picky about music. There will be no "love ballads" played at our wedding. We will not dance to the "I like big butts" song (I don't even know the name of that song! But I was out of the country during the 90s, so I'm excused).  I'm not sure we can learn to dance to "Thriller" in time. (I'm not opposed to having that played at the reception, though.)

Anyway, if you have a cool song you want to share in the comments, I'll take note.

No promises that I'll let it be played at the reception, however.

Oh, and the song I heard on the radio? It's below the fold. Don't you judge me. I came of age in the 1980s.
