more wedding wedding

My mom just wrote me back all disappointed that [college campus] is all booked up for next June. She sent me a list of alternate sites that she looked up. I feel so discouraged right now. And overwhelmed. (Which are two words my mother used in her email, regarding the [college campus] situation.) I am sick and I need to pack and plan a move and go on a weeklong road trip. I DON'T HAVE TIME TO BE RESEARCHING POSSIBLE WEDDING SITES RIGHT NOW. I liked the [college campus] site! But if I don't research it NOW and get it done NOW, then we won't get a date next spring or any date in the remotely near future and WE'LL NEVER GET MARRIED.

I feel like the responsible thing to do would be to cancel the road trip. It's true that being out of town for those 10 days is adding a lot of stress, because we need to get all the packing done and all the moving planning done before the road trip because there won't be time to do it when we get back. I don't know if I can get the date set before the road trip too. We should cancel the road trip. But I really want the road trip! I want to go to Cecily's wedding and see Chelsea and Terri and Miles and Sim and everyone in Boston!

We totally did this to ourselves, too. We scheduled ourselves to move on July 1. That's totally our own fault. And now we're locked into it, and if I make it through the next month without stabbing myself or others, I'm going to really drink a whole lot on Bastille Day.

books 2009: Stolen Magic, by M.J. Putney

Fun historical fantasy romance. Meg, the heroine, is a total Mary Sue, but she's also courageous and sassy. I was entertained by how big a deal virginity was, and by the extremely romantic dialogue in some places. And the unicorn plotline was hil-freaking-arious. Overall, a fun, no stress read, which is exactly what I was looking for.

yoga # 34

Kind of surprisingly, a good 45-minute yoga practice tonight. Despite being sick the past few days, I felt really strong and solid. I also was able to breathe through my nose better than I had all day, which is always a plus. Tonight I held all my standing poses for a count of seven breaths. Semi-decent headstand tonight.

I almost discovered the wonders of Pandora and Last.fm tonight, but unfortunately F's computer suddenly decided it didn't feel like playing internet radio anymore, even though it had been playing Last.fm for a good hour or more already. I was all excited, too, to find out about new yogaey music! Next time.
