Wow, been awhile since I updated, huh? Well, you've waited a long time for something of little quality. Something better will show up later, but I spent three hours on the phone with Dell today and my will to live has been completely sucked out of me.

The people at my job think I am some kind of super fantastic administrative assistant. I get enthusiastic thank yous from the employees I support and one of them actually told me the other day that he has been singing my praises to a project manager whose in a division of 23 that has two admins at his disposal yet still doesn't get enough support to keep him happy.
On the way home that afternoon, I thought to myself that these laurels being heaped upon me are rather amazing considering that these days, I am spending maybe 1/3 of my day actually working. Seriously. I am a slacker extraordinaire at work.It's the damn internet, I tell you. Too many wedding sites to browse through looking for ideas, too many vendors to scope out for JournalCon stuff, too many message boards and webcomics and blogs to read. And me, with my gnat-like attention span, sitting there drifting through it all, working in small spurts in between and somehow still wowing the entire department.
Imagine how amazing I would be if I actually committed myself 100% to my job. I would take over the world in a matter of weeks, I think.

Son got married last weekend, so we spent the weekend in Santa Ana surrounded by the people I consider my family. Considering that Kev had never met most of them, he did very well, patiently answering the same questions over and over (Where do you work? Where are your parents living? How long have you lived here? etc, etc ad infinitum).
The wedding went off much nicer than I thought it would (there's some serious drama in the background there that I'm so not going to get into in public because someday my mother may get web savvy), and the weather was perfect. Plus, the weekend presented a nice opportunity to go see Chris Squared so that they could meet Kev too. It was a little weird hearing "You're next!" over and over at the wedding....kinda drove the fact home that MY GOD I AM GETTING MARRIED IN 9 MONTHS. Woo!
Speaking of which, we got our Save the Date magnets this weekend and they are awesomely adorable. Also, we are registering this weekend, which will be awesome as well. We need some new towels, yo.

Have you registered for JournalCon yet? No? Well, you better get on that because dude, the $79 fee goes up in a week. And also, this is going to be a hell of a party, let me tell you. And I will need a serious party after doing the Three Day the weekend before JournalCon.
But if I'm totally honest, I think I will breathe a huge sigh of relief when October is finally done and over with. These days I find myself daydreaming about the honeymoon as much as I do about the wedding because I am going to need that week of doing nothing more than anything else.
Actually, I really need that vacation now, but I can't do that, so instead I think I'll go zone out in front of the TV instead.
