Right now there are a lot more important things going on in the world than this. Heck, there are more important things going on in OUR world than this. But with our impending wedding there is a LOT of pressure placed on me to look perfect. One of the things that has been coming up a lot lately is what I’m going to do about my hair.
I-131
Nope, that’s not the title of Geoff’s favorite WWII era submarine movie, it’s the radioactive iodine that’s going to be used to treat Smoky for his extreme hyperthyroidism.
What I did yesterday
I made this. I also custom created the header, did the HTML for the resume there, updated her Monster.com resume, and got her a Google Voice number. For the love of God, someone hire her! Or, you know, me. Or Geoff.
Ahem.
I also ran a bunch of errands and was reminded, yet again, of the fact that there are tremendous numbers of clothes designed every year for plus sized women that are just HORRENDOUSLY ugly. Note to clothes designers: just because we’re size 14+ does not automatically mean that we want huge prints, shapeless shirts or dresses, or clothing without structure. I promise. REALLY. Check in with Marina Rinaldi if you’re confused. Or Ralph Lauren. Or Calvin Klein.

JJ, this post is for you
Geoff and I have been meaning to put up these pics for a while. This is our Mini Cooper Clubman. His name is Basil.
Daddy’s Boy
Rerun is a truly special animal. If he was a human he’d be an extremely paranoid, anxious, and probably violent person of middle intelligence who was good looking and also happened to be a spree killer cannibal.
90 Days
So, it’s a little after midnight and I haven’t yet received the 15 emails from the various websites I’m signed up with that will trumpet 3 MONTHS! But it’s true, 3 months from today is our wedding day.
Cool.

Ah, internets
The problem with having a fairly common name is that you get email for other people. A lot. Geoff does not have this problem. I do. I have several email addresses. One of them is my name @ a common web based email provider.com. I got this email address when this particular provider first started offering email (yes, that’s how old I am) and basically use it for times when I needed something professional and/or humorless.
The closest I will ever get to owning a restaurant
Those of you who are regular readers know that Geoff and I love food. We love to eat it, to cook it, to bake it. We have more cookbooks than we have room to store them. Sometimes I think this blog is in danger of becoming a food blog. Or, at least, a blog about our favorite restaurant. Ahem.

Wedding working weekend insanity 2011
This weekend was a combination of Geoff’s Birthday, our cake tasting, prepping our centerpieces, making our final trip to the Alfred Angelo store for the Bridesmaid dress shopping, and meeting the awesome hair styling and makeup team to get our hair and makeup trial.
Oh, my…
Someone apparently thought that the Radioactive Boy Scout was a good idea.
Swede tried to split atoms – at home
Associated Press / August 4, 2011
STOCKHOLM – A Swedish man who was arrested after trying to split atoms in his kitchen said yesterday he was only doing it as a hobby.
Richard Handl said he had the radioactive elements radium, americium, and uranium in his apartment in southern Sweden when police showed up and arrested him on charges of unauthorized possession of nuclear material.
Handl, 31, said he had tried for months to set up a nuclear reactor at home and kept a blog about his experiments, describing how he created a small meltdown on his stove.
Only later did he realize it might not be legal and sent a question to Sweden’s Radiation Authority, which answered by sending the police.
The police raid took place in late July, but police have refused to comment. If convicted, Handl could face fines or up to two years in prison.

Pro tip– if you cause a meltdown ON YOUR STOVE, you’re doin’ it wrong.
