oh my. i'm married.

i have been adjusting to referring to eric as (gulp) my HUSBAND over the past several days.

how does this happen so fast? did i want it to happen so fast? were we thinking straight?

nothing could have been more fun than our petite vegas wedding. we enjoyed the company of about 30 people in the chapel and at dinner afterwards. the most cheesetastic Tropicana karaoke bar in the after hours one could possibly locate on the LV strip.

of course then there was my cold. my brother gave me a most lovely wedding gift. a sinucleanse neti-pot, which if you are unfamiliar, is an aladdin-type genie vessel in which you run a saline mixture into one nostril as it flows out the other. blow nose and repeat in second nostril. thrilling.

and an even more thrilling experience approximately one hour before your very own wedding. i ran out of time for my hair, but man, did my nostrils feel gooooo-ooooood.

bonjour a tous

je ne veux pas que j'oublie mon francais donc j'essayerai a ecrire quelque mots de temps en temps.

donc il faut m'excuser en avance pour tous mes betises.

c'est la nouvelle annee et je suis prete pour stimuler l'esprit. le francais, ca diviser mon esprit en deux et c'est bien pour exerciser le petit souris qui cours dedans.

j'ai achete un calendrier pour l'annee 2008. c'est une phrase francaise chaque jour et une chose interessante est qu'il commence exactement comme les choses dans ma vie. par example, je partirai jeudi pour mon mariage a Las Vegas. chaque jour pendant cette semaine enseigne et mentionnne les phrases qui est a propos d'arranger les petits voyages.

1. les voyage en train sont bon marches.
2. dis-moi si tu as besoin d'aide pour organiser ton voyage.


ca c'est le petit rod serling dans ma vie.

marriage

i would really like to write again. it's been ages since my mind was high with feverish creativity and reflection, and i must say it was a purposeful step back so that i could concentrate on 'more important things.'

i stepped away from the blogosphere in an attempt to concentrate on more private writing sessions, but have i made this happen? um, no.

hopefully, with a marriage this weekend, and more newness of life, and walking down the aisle of a las vegas chapel, i will feel amused and inspired by life and all of its unpredictability.
