No, I'm Not Winking at You

Oh goodness, yes it's been a long time since I've written anything. Brian is good and faithful on the bacon posts, but just in case you thought all we did was sit around and eat bacon, I thought I'd pipe up. (This weekend, we made 'gougeres' from scratch... ok, they had bacon in them - but in our defense, the recipe came with one of the packs of bacon! We also made a whole duck. Ambitious, no? It was yummy!)

So what have I been up to lately? Traveling (LA and Boulder, all ostensibly for work but LA included a lovely party thrown by even lovelier friends) and wedding planning and working and wedding planning. Yes, we have 46 days to go till the big day, and it's crunch time. I think we're actually pretty on top of things, but there are a lot of details that still need to be decided or implemented, and it's all coming down to NOW. I think it's starting to get to me though, as I've developed a rhythmic tic in my left eye. Everytime I start to think about the items I have yet to order, the Ceremony we have yet to finalize, or the Guest list we have yet to confirm, it goes off, biddabiddabidda. Ugh! And no, dammit, I'm not winking at you!

I have to say though, darn that Brian, he's really been slacking off these days... there he sits at the breakfast bar, leafing through "W2"s and "Schedule CA"s and muttering about provincial tax credits. Whatever - he'll do anything to get out of planning. (Just kidding! I am so grateful that this year - and hopefully, from now on :) :) - I am spared the annual cryfest that is my attempt at doing my own taxes. Thank you dear!)

Anyway, that is the very cursory update. I will try to post more often, and hopefully more about non-"W" related topics...
