we are getting married next week at los poblanos. if the weather will cooperate by getting a bit cooler, we plan to have our ceremony here:
and our dinner will be here:
think cool and breezy thoughts for us, ‘kay?
well… i’m not sure why, but i kinda thought that since i have made a living planning weddings and other events for about six years now that i could put together my own wedding without a hitch. foolish foolish me.
i am encountering the same last-minute headaches most of my brides hire me to deal with. only, this time i have no emotional distance. trouble with the venue. stress over family. late rsvps. (not you, liz and scott.) uncooperative weather.
i’m just ready for it to be over – for better or worse, no pun intended – so sean and i can run away to our honeymoon. we’re spending a few days in the gila at bear creek cabins. we’ll be in cabin 11 with no cell phones and no internet – a promise we’ve made to one another as we know we’ll never be able to be so disconnected again.

sean thinks it’s because our save-the-dates have a photo of us and it is obvious that we enjoy food. i think it’s because people know we are foodies. but the fact of the matter is that it doesn’t matter why. we are receiving food-related wedding gifts and are tickled silly!
(have i ever mentioned how much i love my 1950's oven?)
last week we received a tagine from clark family friends, jeanne and tom. on saturday we prepared our first tagine – the food cooked in a tagine is also called tagine – chicken with fennel bulb. holy moly! that’s some seriously amazing food. we are now trying to figure out how to cook all three meals a day in the miraculous tagine.
(before cooking)
thanks so much, jeanne and tom!

i’m writing an interoffice memo for my research & writing ii class and i just typed the sentence:
the court reasoned that jan’s behavior of trailing the nurses and attempting to kiss them amounted to neither a serious threat of physical violence nor behavior predictive of a violent assault.
word says i have used improper grammar. it wants to change the “nor” to “or.” oh… the microsoft word… it has not taken any high school level english courses, has it?

wired just reviewed “terminator salvation” which was filmed here in new mexico. primarily in and around albuquerque.
for all you tourists out there, this should really draw you to our beautiful and alluring high-desert region:
“drained of color, this charred wasteland serves as dreary sanctuary for pockets of human stragglers. “
ah… home, sweet home.
