Last night Nick, Laura, and I started moving stuff into our new place. It’s awesome to finally have enough room to, you know, set up a bedroom and all that sort of stuff. Tonight we go back for the heavy lifting, and hopefully we can get everything moved out.

On the wedding front, almost everything is done. The invites are a little late, but Elyssa is making them and we’re going to hand them out in person instead of mailing them, and people are asked to reply either by phone or via email. I’ll be checking my spam pretty closely over the next while.

We’re going to Cuba on our honeymoon.

We have the location, her dress, my clothes, the minister, the pre/post-marital counselling, the guest list, the honeymoon, the new house, transportation, ushers, bridesmaids and best men, registry at Canadian Tire, and all that sort of thing.

Laura is having something like five showers for her.

Two days back Candice and Peter and Nick took us out to the West Plains Bistro (expensive but excellent food), where even though we had to wait an unacceptably long time to be served, the mean was very enjoyable. And of course me and Peter geek talked. I love geek talking! Laura locked her keys in the car while the car was running and CAA had to come rescue her.

I have just enough money right now to pay rent. I can’t wait for next week’s paycheque and oh boy am I glad that I worked this week instead of lazing around and taking it off.

Me and Karibeth have very different taste in books. This is what she said, and I agree.

This afternoon I go taste-testing with Laura at the caterers. Thank heaven we don’t have to pay for that stuff, or you’d all be having crackers and jam.

  1. Uhh, were you serious about the Cuba honeymoon or are you just sick of people asking you?

  2. I’m serious about it. Why, do you have that typical American antipathy to Cuba?

  3. No, I have the typical American “I don’t know anything about this subject other than what media has told me” ignorance. (In this case the media is Reader’s Digest.)

    But you know what’s different? At least I’ll admit it.

  4. That’s cool.

    What has your media told you?

  5. That Cuba’s leader is one of the most dangerous ones we need to keep an eye on. He could flip out at any moment.

    I wonder if he has one of those “awesome” or “extreme” pages that people were making about each other a few years back. You know one of the ones where Geof could flip out and reset the server just because someone looked at him sideways. I can’t remember the name of those sites.
