Put a hose in your tail pipe!
Well... it's been a while, hasn't it. I guess a few things have happened since I last wrote. To be honest, I haven't been in a blogging mood. It means I have to sit down and collect my thoughts about what has happened the past few weeks.
For the more mundane: I wasn't able to make my interview in Minneapolis on Friday. American Eagle cancelled the flights out of Jackson last Thursday evening. We are tentatively scheduling the interview for this Friday, but I haven't purchased the tickets. They want to spend the whole day with me, and I'm not really feeling all that sociable right now. I can do an afternoon, but 9:30am to 8pm? Almost 11 hours!!? ugh!
I gave up trying to find flights and drove back home. Skyprincess flew in the next morning and we had a busy weekend. I spent all morning Saturday catching up on yard work. The lawn needed mowing and the front yard needed a serious raking. Then Skyprincess took the hedge trimmer and made multiple piles of limbs I had to bring to the corner. Then I spent an hour or two digging post holes to repair the fence. I only got one side fixed before the storm hit us.
We had painters over the entire weekend and I got no real downtime to relax. Sometimes all I want to do is veg, watch a little tv and ignor the world. With midterms this week, my spare time was spent studying. We did go out Saturday night to see 'A Prairie Home Companion' and eat an expensive steak dinner. We've really got to cut back our entertainment expenses. There is really no reason to spend that much on one evening. Our spending is getting to be a big concern for me.
For the not so mundane, the person I had asked to serve as my 'best person' (since she's female) sent me an email and backed out of the wedding. To say it hurt is an understatement. I haven't had the chance to talk to them in person (they didn't answer their phone), so I really don't know the entire reason why. They gave so many different reasons that I'm not sure what to think. It puts me in a very ackward position, since it's far too late to ask someone else. Not that I had anyone else in mind to begin with.
This was going to be a not so traditional wedding, and it looks like I'll add one more to that list. I don't see replacing her in my wedding party, which means I won't have a 'best man' in the wedding. Perhaps we'll have a missing man formation wedding photo. *shrug*
Well.. that's it. I guess I'll post another blog after this one with some interesting links I found today. I hope you like them!

You guys are crazy busy!
Sorry to hear about it the loss of your "best person". That stinks. If it makes you feel any better we didn't have a "best man" or "maids of honor" at our wedding. I was very against it for some reason. It just felt unnecessary and over the top. But I guess we kept everything really simple in terms of wedding and party.
It's really all about you. Imo, people want to see you on your wedding day, not who's in your wedding party (for the most part at least)!
