Already, I've Been Remiss

Wow. Three days since I last wrote.

Friday:

Macieg came over in afternoon and we set up outside. Basically moved my couch paraphernalia from the living room to the back porch and had a huge smorgasboard of food and drink. A little messy back there since I have not had the chance to get anything done but gorgeous weather and fantastic friendship. Other friends came over a little later and a few beers were had. By evening, I was too exhausted to even contemplate going to a potluck/party ... the last thing I wanted to do was sit on a couch in someone elses house with the heat of summer and bodies around me. So I just made myself to bed and finished off "The Girl With the Dragon Tatoo". Genre: murder mystery/thriller. My least favourite but I got stuck on it and just HAD to finish it. I recommend it but only half-heartedly.

Saturday:

Katie came back from her two nights away refreshed and ready to go to G and J's wedding. I had fed the kittens (took about 10 minutes!) and eaten all of the easily to eat food in the house. I had told Katie that I would not go to the wedding - I felt I didn't have the strength - but the temptation of putting on a suit jacket and trimming my new-found beard was too much to ignore.

So, I did it. Put on a black jacket over white shirt. Black slacks and boots (well, one boot - covered the other foot with big black sock!) and sunglasses and I was ready to go. Katie looked gorgeous in an almost black, printed summer dress, colourful scarf and big/tall black boots. Of course we forgot to take pictures of ourselves so I have nothing for the blog.

The wedding was in a gorgeous little Anglican church called Church-In-The-Woods in West Vancouver, just outside Lighthouse Park. Stain-glass fantastic. Music touching and sentimental. I Corinthians reading about Love. The reverend spoke well and plainly, which is always refreshing.

The reception was in a restaurant that overlooked West Vancouver, the bay, Stanley Park, Vancouver and UBC. Wow. Great food, people, booze, music, speaches and lotsa love. I'm happy for G and J. They seem to be doing everything the 'right' way. We were able to meet and chat with some pretty cool and interesting people.

Now its almost 1 pm on Sunday. I'm just recovering. 8.5 hours out of the house nearly killed me! Today is Porch Jam at Dave's place at 5 and a bit of cleaning at home.

Weather: Overcastish, breezy, possible rain later in afternoon.
