I was a bit under the weather, since the kids gave me some crazy virus as a going away present the day before I left. But, thanks to better living through chemistry, the ability to sleep in a hotel bed uninterrupted by small children, and a little "letting go and letting God," I made it through the trip at close enough to full speed that Vowels was able to repeatedly accuse me of lying about being sick.
The wedding was lovely, and Vowels was as elegant and graceful as a classic film star. And I got to hug her real life beautiful self at her real life wedding! At one point, V's new husband came around, doing the polite groomly thing of thanking guests, and I was doing the shyly anonymous thing. He shook my hand and thanked me for coming (whoever I was), and JW punched him and said, "This is MPJ!" Then his face lit up in recognition, and I got a very excited welcome to the wedding.
One of the wedding guests vowed to track down my blog (which shouldn't be hard, since she reads JW's). However, I don't know, with all the drunken bacchanalia (among those without a troubled relationship with alcohol) that goes on at weddings , if she'll remember to do it. (But if she does: You found me!)
While Vowels was off being classy and bridely, JW and I got to spend the whole day chatting in my hotel room, where we spent so much time whirling in talk about blogging, writing and our addict husbands that we not only didn't blog together, we forgot to eat dinner. (JW will deny all that and swear we spent the time making out, but really, who are you going to believe?)
I was even lucky enough to get to spend a little extra time with V on her wedding night before I headed off to bed and my early flight back home. That's were I am now -- late getting my daughter to school! Yep, everything is back to normal already. Darn.
