Love, Adventure and Other Goings-On

Lots going on around me right now.

* Mentioned that Brenda got engaged. Well, yesterday she and Brian asked me to be the maid of honor. Yay! She PROMISED that she will not make me wear an ugly dress. :D I'm very excited and honored. This will be my second time playing MoH. (Funny, I've never been "just" a bridesmaid.) I am just so happy for Brenda, this is so wonderful, and I am tickled to be a part of it.

* Saturday night my friend Kimmie called and in the course of chatting she mentioned that she had won a cruise for two to the Bahamas! Three days, two nights, needs to be taken within the next 18 months. AAAAAAAAAND....she asked me to go with her! Yay! I need to get my ass in gear and apply for a passport. (WHICH is one of my 101 things, so double-yay!) (And staying overnight somewhere I've never been is ALSO one of my 101! dang, I'm knocking these things out left and right!) I've never been on a "real" cruise and I am VERY VERY nervous, but also psyched as all hell.

* Speaking of, #92 on my 101 list? Done.

* Under the category of "Things I had no freakin' idea about," apparently drinking a lot of red wine turns your teeth black! Seen the scene in "The Patriot" where the son's fiance fed him ink? Yeah, it's like that. The tannins in the red wine will stain your teeth. This can be avoided by either drinking a lot of water in addition to the red wine, or alternating red wine with white.

Funny, but these are the only things I can remember to write about right now. I *know* there's so much more happening than this, but my mind is locking right up on me. hmph. Well, it's not like I can't write more later, y'know? So, I'll be back. mk

I don't know why that comment posted twice. Weird...blogger is weird sometimes.

Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for the comment today. That other blogger changed her title.
