If I was a Disney character, I'd be Mulan. She's amazing.

Two of my close friends have done it. They've made the commitment of a life time, said the words, gave the rings, threw the parties and now it's done. Married. And yes, that first sentence could be taken quite literally, but I wasn't going there. Grow up.
It always amazes me how many months of planning and pay cheques are required to begin a life with someone. Really, the whole ordeal could be neatly wrapped up in about 15 minutes, when WABAM-- suddenly that little utterance, that one little performative, changes your status forever. This only reinforces my sentiments about the power of language.
This impresses me.

And so my weekend involved Vanessa's wedding, and a few weekends before that was Jocelyn.
Tomorrow is my cousin Rachel's, and there had better be dancing. I am not quite sure if one is even able to fully celebrate such an occasion without letting loose a little on the dance floor with the relatives. Not only is everyone in a great mood, but it's the most perfect dancing environment! Clean and wholesome people- like King David in the streets.

Well, work starts at 7:15 as usual, but since my car is parked in Hamilton at this very moment, I will most likely be rising with the sun so that I can snag a ride with my dad. This means I'll be getting up early, which also means I should be heading to bed. Life without an alarm clock can be so demanding.

Advice for the day. Stay away from what you think is oatmeal, and then what you think is cream of wheat, and then what turns out to be gluten free creamed corn. However, if you do manage to get your hands on it, be warned that one minute in the microwave is not nearly enough.

Good night folks
