big downers

So I took the day off work Wednesday so D & I could celebrate our 5 year anniversary at the Cubs game. Same seats as we were sitting in last year when I caught the foul ball. First row.

It was postponed due to snow. Boo!

The suckiest part is that it was rescheduled for a night game while we'll be in Missouri on vay-cay. Boo!

However, I've been searching around to see what those seats go for on a July night game. They seem to be worth about $300 each. So technically, I guess we could stand to make $500 on this whole fiasco, which isn't too bad. We thought we'd give 'em away, but that's a lot of bread. Especially since we owe A LOT to Uncle Sam this year. (Crap, I better send that in.)

Another downer is this sham of a website. D said we could stay at the Chateau La Rue. I think he's desperate to travel, since it's been a while, or he may have been jacked up on cold medicine.
Either way, I'm holding him to it. Wouldn't it just be aces to stay in Tori Spelling's B&B? Wouldn't it? Or am I the only one that thinks that? Anyhow, their website sucks, & you can get absolutely no information from it. I guess I must bite the bullet & email Tori.

We watched our wedding video last night. It seriously bummed me out, for various reasons. Number one is that it's painfully obvious that the years are a'catchin up with me. Damn, I hate wrinkles. What can you do.

Number two is that it really made me miss a lot of peeps we don't really see that often. I must ferret the Dekalbians out of their burrows. Or, blast it, we'll raid DeKalb! This once a year-Cornfest raiding is not enough. We must change that. I know I said it last year, but this year I mean it.... Molkky anyone??????

Oh, and another observation from the wedding video: Damn all'yall we're really drunk.

It was our JOB to get drunk! O.K. We would have been getting drunk anyway.

I confess that I am a bad DeKalbian friend. You guys are much missed, and there must be meetings with much fun and rough-housing outside of the Cornfest context.

By the way, why is Tori not on your most hated celeb list? She would be in my top 5.

All I remember about your wedding was Santi trying to hit on your bridesmaids and the tables having to sing songs. I hadn't had a drink in almost a year at that time and after my 4th glass of wine, I was totally shit-faced.

Wait, I also remember your first dance was totally choreographed. Pretty classy.

Oh, wait! And Elvis! We got friggin' Elvis to sing. That was the best wedding surprise I had ever seen.

Oh! I forgot about Elvis! For some reason he didn't make it on the video.

I think we may have had too many at that point in the night. We did get the group of people dancing to the bar, however.

I'm a teacher. Apparently this means I must know EVERY answer to EVERY question in all of creation. Heaven help me if I make a spelling error. I'm also a wife & "new Mommie" (shudder). Don't get me wrong, I love my babies, but the phrase "new mommie" has got to go. It just conjures up images of scrunchies & sweat pants in my mind. Phooey.
