Food: It's what's for Dinner.

Dinner is suddenly a very important subject the minute you get married.

And it may be that it's not suddenly important to you, but it is to others and their constant questioning about your nightly eating habits brings the whole thing to a sharply focused perspective.

In the past month I've been asked more times then I care to count what we've been doing for dinner. Never is there any care shown for breakfast (THE most important meal of the day) or lunch-no one ever asks what you scarfed down in the middle of the day-no it's all dinner.

What are you making?
Who's doing the cooking?

The questions are sudden and often perplexing. No one ever cared what I ate for dinner when I was single, and the nightly eating thing didn't just become a habit, it's been around for a long time.

So...

Dinner is being served, don't worry.

As is breakfast and lunch, thank you very much.

Do the ChaCha

..On with my Google rant...
If you didn't know this already, another facet of Googles awesomeness is the fact that you can text it for a phone number and it will text you back.
Gone are the days of trying to determine if your call to information is worth the $1.50-now all we have to do is text "Barnes and Noble" to 46645 and every Barnes and Noble number within the country will be sent to your phone (for narrowing down sake, enter the zip code as well).

But the text world's limits don't end there. Now (well not now now they've been around since 2006) there exists a company that allows you to pocket an entire library of information. ChaCha (Cha meaning "search" in Mexican, and "Cha-Cha" being fun to say) is a service (for free) that if you text it any question, any question at all you will in a few minutes be texted an answer back.

Say for instance you want to know the world record held for sneezing...All you have to do is text 242 242 (which spells out ChaCha) and in moments you'll have the answer, instantly being the hit (or the dork if you pass on quirky information like that) at parties.

Now you may be wondering if my pitch for this company is purely for blogging sake...and you may be wondering why I just made that suggestion that you're wondering something when you're really not...well let me tell you
I make this pitch not to fill up white space, but because if you text ChaCha (242242) you may be getting me on the other end as I will be a ChaCha guide by next week. (a beautiful job I can do whenever and where ever I please in addition to my other daily duties.)

So text away, and tell your friends!
Oh and Donna Griffiths holds the world record for sneezing 978 days in a row...see crazy interesting, huh!

Oogling and Googling

Technology is a beautiful things, my friends.

If it weren't for technology we wouldn't have google
And if we didn't have google I couldn't have just spent the last twenty minutes traveling down the street I grew up on several states away.

Thanks to Google maps and their "Street veiw" I can drive down 3862 Cedar Cove Lane anytime I want to. Not only that but I can "drive" down other streets all around the area with only a slight movement of the wrist.
I love it.
The day I found the Google street view in front of my old house I almost cried.
I may not get down there to visit as much as I would like but the fact that I can virtually visit anytime I want is a beautiful thing.

I'm sure one day I'll be able to sit inside a hologram of Cedar Cove, but until that day comes I'll enjoy a picture visit here and there and do some clicking down memory lane.

60!

I now laugh when I see the word "Wedding" because I've gone through a complete range of emotions with the word...

At first it was "Oh I'm so excited, I can't wait to see what my Wedding will be like"
Then as time went on and more decisions were made it shifted to "hmm I should look up more Wedding websites and get ideas"
Which lead into "Wedding: um yeah I'm good, I just need to remember to stay on top of that and keep on schedule cause it's probably about to get busy."
Then the inevitable: "Holy CRAP Wedding planning is a lot of work"
And steadily: "IF I SEE THE WORD WEDDING ONE MORE TIME I'M GOING TO PLUCK SOMEONES EYE OUT"
Accumulating in: "My Wedding was so perfect, I couldn't have asked for anything better."

I loved every moment of it, and what I truly appreciate about the whole day was that it never felt like it was going fast, even the ceremony and reception went steadily on and I felt myself savoring every moment.

So now when I see the word Wedding I think, "Man I'm thankful we only have to plan one"
:)

Elizabeth in the future...sort of

I'm on my honeymoon right now. No, that's a lie. I'm sitting in my office with a day and a half to go till I get married but I've recently discovered that you can set posts for the future so that's what I've done.
When you read this I'll be galavanting around on my honeymoon wondering what to do with all the freed up brain space I now have since the wedding is over...hmm build a car...create an empire....

I didn't want you to do an entire week without getting a blogging nugget from yours truly (although i'm positive you've gone longer even when i was in town) but you know, all that brain space I'm anticipating is starting to eek through now that the day is getting closer.

I can't wait. I've imagined walking down the isle one hundred thousand times and i'm excited to live in that moment.
But now I must go...in real time i'm about to go get my nails done, but in the blogosphere i'm kicking back at the beach.

Later :)

Slice of Advice

Sneezing with teeth whitening strips in your mouth doesn't produce the greatest results.


Bleh.

Feelings

Two feelings to add to the "funnest feelings ever list"-
1. That all over tingly sensation after having laughed really hard-like your insides just went for a good jog.

2. Jumping into an ice cold pool after being in the hot sun-it's like your entire body sucked on an altoid.

Yeah, good times.
