Honk if you love Jesus and Bad Weddin' Shows

My headphones haven't worked for days and it was killing me. So on my lunch I went to Best Buy which is close enough to be dangerous. Got these kick ass $20 Sony headphones. I'm happy now, all snug in my cube taking a break to write this short blurb. On my way back from Best Buy, there was a car in front of me with "Honk if you love jesus." No one was honking. It felt strangely confrontational. I wanted to pass but couldn't get over because I was almost at the turning I needed. I hate that.

Yesterday I took Marie and Amy to the Tulsa Weddin' Show. It was awful. I never want to go to anything like that EVER again. It was a sea of crazed wild eyed spray- tanned brides and their spongy mothers stuffing their gobs with free samples of food and cake. Amy and Marie claim to have spotted a groom in the corner that was desperately shoving noodles into his mouth with his hands. Now, that's stress eating.

Other highlights:
The chocolate fountain - this is a bacterial cesspool. Gross. Nothing like recirculated warm chocolate that everyone and their small child's grubby hands have been dipping into.

The Fashion Show - poor high school girls and boys struggling across the "runway." I almost felt sorry for them in the caketoppers from what only could be from a mall-like bridal factory for which I will not mention their ev-eel name.

I realize this is a scathing post, but I'm not going to apologize if I've offended anyone.

On and a not so scathing note at all, Matt changed my brake shoes and rotors this weekend. That's love. I don't think there's anything that man can't do =). He's so cool, not to mention still pretty hot even when he has poison ivy...

Listening to Jem right now.

Speaking of... does anyone remember Jem and the Rockers? I am a child of the eighties.

Yep.
Wedding Shows are mostly about what NOT to do. *L* I got SOME helpful information, such as the Zales table measured C's finger for me, so I knew what size ring to order from the eentarweb.

We also got some coupons for this and that...but yeah. Overall, not much help.

Do you guys have a date? I forget. Christ the King, yes?

Yes to church and April 21. Call me woman. Also, send me your email address, I have about 3 for you and I can't figure out which is the right one.

I think the idea is that if you can get through a bridal show and still want to get married, it's really meant to be :-)

I said it before and I'll say it again: cheese fountain.

You know...I'm not sure I have a good email for you, either!

jenthegreat at cox dot net is my main one. i'm sure any of the ones you have would have worked, though.
