Back in Blogging

The worst of the craziness is over and I have a little time for updates again.

The wedding was wonderful. Everything I could have hoped. All my plans went well, and even the inevitable snafus were manageable. It was simple and sweet and everyone had a good time. M & I even got a day away from it all, and we're planning a longer trip in the near future. It feels good to be married.

The past 6 or 7 weeks of planning were really hectic, though, and now I have to get on with several new projects, like thank you notes and unpacking the new apartment and changing my name with all the agencies.

And also I need to move forward with old projects like bread baking and farm work and church leadership. Onward, upward, forward! O, Brave New World of Matrimony.

Too Busy to Blog

Way to busy right now with wedding planning to blog much. Hopefully will be able to pick up again in a couple of months . . .

Down Side

So I managed to hook onto an unsecured network at home and immediately managed to waste most of a morning on-line. Well at first it was productive, but it has since spiraled down into procrastination. I ought to eat and get to the farm.

Escaping Plans

This wedding is taking on a life of its own. I'm doing it so fast I can't obsess, but that is kind of scary, actually. It's not taking shape at all the way I expected. I think it will be good, but I have to let a lot of preconceived, cognitive commitments go.

Peace Lily

My Peace Lily is budding! I get to finally see a bloom after owning it for more than 2 years! I am so excited! It's such a treat to watch it floreshing in my window. :)

Collage Dayz

Ran into an acquaintance from Collage today who had just moved to town. She was nice to me and seemed happy to see me and asked for my number. Maybe I've found a new-old friend . . .

Glue-Town

Now I know why its called gluten--it's just like glue. And I also know why flour paste can be used as glue . . .

Why do I know? Rye bread with gluten flour. Sticky! But yummy. Good plain or with ghee or in a sandwich. Eating more sandwiches lately. Convenient for being out and about at lunch time. Also have been learning how to sun-dry veggies. The farm has a make-shift sun-dryer. We've been making summer squash and tomatoes. The tomatoes are acidic, but the summer squash are suprisingly sweet and satisfying. Yum!
