The Dance of the Bumble Bee

The Bachelor Party is on Saturday. And the groom's brother is sleeping at our place. So we need to tidy up (a lot of sorting through possessions has taken place and we've categorized them into "keep", "basement", and "throw out"... yet many things from the "keep" pile haven't been put away yet).
Also, the final decision on place-cards and table decorations needs to be made (we're going with origami animals). I need to talk with the florist and we might need more cakes. The itinerary for speeches and games during the wedding festivities has been set. I still need to buy some underwear and double-sided tape.
Recently, we've been going to bed really late (3AM) and getting up really late (11AM-2PM)... We really need to change that. We don't get enough done on this weird schedule. And it's driving me nuts.
Oh, and we've found an apartment we would like to rent. But several other things need to fall into place for that to happen. We shall see. One huge bonus: not living on the fourth floor anymore.
We continue to be very happy (though he had a slight hang-over from yesterday's St. Patrick's Day festivities). And everything is well.

2-year anniversary

So, Friday was our 2-year anniversary.
After a busy day we decided to go out for dinner and drinks. We had dinner at the Greek Restaurant near us. I had the lamb skewers with potatoes, tzatziki, and salad. He had the mixed grill-platter with salad. After dinner we walked to a bar we hadn't been to before and had cocktails. They were very good. 2 drinks each and a great conversation. We were home at around midnight and just kept talking until 3 o'clock.
We had such a good time.

Just one of those days

Today is one of those days where my brain won't function the way I want it to. I have the constant feeling I've forgotten something or had a too long nap (I didn't have a nap... they usually make me grumpy). Coherent thought escapes me and I am left with half-finished sentences in my head. I feel like muddy water. Bleh.
Tomorrow will be better. Things to do, pigs and roasts to roast them on to find and compare prices for, people to call, and household chores to do.

Long Time No Post

Wow. I'm terribly bad at posting when I'm busy. Short recap of events since last post:
The vacation we went on last August was great. We went to Clearwater, Florida and Savannah, Georgia. Read more here.
When we came back the General Elections were imminent and functions needed attending etc. (We were totally jet-lagged for some of them.)
He-who-keeps-my-feet-warm-at-night quit his job in June and opened up his own business in October. That took up a lot of time and energy (filling out forms, getting information, going to register the business, going to the tax people, signing up for a government grant, among other things).
Tidying up and throwing out unneeded stuff.
A visit to the future in-laws.
Christmas, New Years Eve, and another visit to the future in-laws, the Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day.
The planning of the wedding (we set the date to April 9th 2010 – cutting it a little close) didn't really start until January, so it's been slightly hectic and disorganized. We've found some amazing people, though, and I think it'll be very nice. Our emphasis will be on the food, drinks, and music. Those are our priorities.
Had I known that it is such a hassle to organize a wedding that everyone, including myself, can enjoy, I would have stuck with my original plan and taken everyone to Burger King.
Ok. I'm off to bake some cookies. Oh! And between writing my thesis and making wedding related phone calls I finished this. (I'd started it in September.) I crocheted some red dragon-scales to the back just to mix it up a bit.
That's all the news that's fit to post. And a good summary of the past 6 months.
