smile girls

last week/weekend we were in the mitten celebrating. we hardly slept and still didn't have enough friend-time.

last wednesday afternoon, while frantically driving around collecting bachelorette party supplies, i drove past the former site of our neighborhood kroger. and once upon a time, a mcdonalds, too. they were both gone. well, mcdonalds had been gone since my freshman year of high school, but i was sad to see see the building without the blue kroger letters. it was a terrible grocery store. the kind where you buy rice and a week later it hatches moths. but it is where jeff bought me my first jug of carlo rossi and where we stole "regal rump" stickers during that one night we slept in the car in high school. anyhow, i stopped to take photos.

thursday henry met chopper the pug at the duncan's house then there was a bon fire. it was quiet [minus the drunks] and you could see stars and it felt like camping. friday was the rehearsal dinner. i cried. saturday was the wedding where i cried some more. then got drunk and danced. it was great. anyone who says they hate weddings is lying.

sunday we played with the dogs in the backyard and had a bbq. my parents made lots of yummy food and we had family chats.. weird family chats. monday we bought a buttload of wine and beer, had breakfast with cal and val then drove home. then we were zombies. then peter left for PA. then i played my first lasertag game[s]. i sucked bad. now peter's back.

i've got no patience to write this nonsense. i must note for posterity that, yesterday while working at goodwill, i had to clean up vomit from the fitting room floor. boozy, cocktail fruit vomit. the end.
