The Pooka Life

Needed a quick smile? Want a good belly laugh? Well then, check out this site which is one of my favorites. He must have met Kevin at some point because he has the seduction moves down pat. If you ever want a funny story, ask Kevin about the time he auditioned for a play in college. What I would give for a copy of that audition!

Still tired but slowly recovering. Found myself happily crunching away on my baby carrots which is a good sign of recovery. Tonight we go dancing which should pick us up as well. After today, it’s a downhill coast to the weekend. Yippee!

The Pooka Life

I first found out you can have your own action figure made in your own image, now they have action cards staring regular people. You could almost start a whole toy line around yourself. I’m tempted to order an action figure only I don’t know what I’d like to be. Probably some sort of superhero with a cool cape. Yeah, a silver cape.

As you probably guessed, today is kinda slow….

Wedding, Check!

I am almost too tired to Blog. I had totally forgotten how exhausting a wedding can be. Only this time, I don’t get a week in Hawaii to recharge. Grrrrr. All went well and the newlyweds have ridden off into the Tahitian sunset. All that’s left is to return the tuxedoes, the dresses, the slip, clean the reception site, drop of the presents, water the plants, and feed the dog. We haven’t gotten to bed before 2am the last four days and it’s taking a toll. We’re turning into old fogies.

The sad part is, I was so busy running errands that I didn’t get any wedding cake and missed all the dancing except for the first dance. Never even got to see the bubble machine.

I have no cool links for you today. Even my baby carrots have failed to perk me up. I’m thinking about investing in some concealer since everyone I have seen today has commented on the bags around my eyes.

Actually, I think the best part was after the wedding was over and I could hang out with old friends I hadn’t seen in far too long. All in all, two thumbs up!

Wedding Eve

My best friend is getting married tomorrow. I’m so excited. It’s a fairy tale really. She met her fiance at our wedding. She was my bridesmaid and he was Kev’s groomsman. It was so romantic. I must say it is awfully nice when best friends fall in love. They are ablsolutely perfect for eachother. Last night was the bachelor/bachelorette party. My poor little house was packed to the brim with laughing women. Kat’s family is an absolute blast. I was surprised the neightbors didn’t call the cops we were so loud. Don’t know exactly what the men did except Kevin staggered home around 1:30am bleary eyed, smelling of smoke, with a ton of chinese food. He muttered “don’t touch me, I’m disgusting” and trotted off to take a shower. I’m thinking they were up to no good. That’s ok ’cause us girls had a blast. Can’t wait for the wedding itself. The DJ comes with a bubble machine. Ohhhhh, ahhhh oooooooh.

Wow, my first wedding where I can’t try and catch the bouquet. Doesn’t that mean I get 2 pieces of cake to make up for that? Yep, I think that’s definately the rule.

Basement Bound

So we spent our 4th of July in the basement with the dog. He was completely freaked out from all the fireworks so we settled into the basement and popped Smashmouth into the cd player to help drown out the noise. It was a long, long night. Of course, it was super hot yesterday & he drank a ton of water but refused to go outside. So Kevin, wonderful guy that he is, set the alarm for 2am to take him out for a potty break. Only problem was, at 2am, Artie took one look at pappa and said no way, I ain’t moving. After 15 minutes of coaxing, Kevin gave up and crawled back into bed. Ungrateful dog. When we woke up, however, Artie was sitting by the side of the bed staring at us. He was trying to use his Jedi dog powers on us. “You want to get up…..you need to take me for a walk……you want to get up.” It worked. We are such suckers.

My mom and I used to love watching Star Trek: The Next Generation when I was in high school. We thought Jean Luc was hot. (Don’t try and deny it mom!) I stumbled across this link where new plots can be randomly generated. The scary part it, they sound pretty good!
