Audry's wedding Saturday night was magical.  She was such a beautiful bride and Harold was a handsome groom.  The wedding colors were black, white and green, so it looked very elegant.  Everything took place at a friend of the brides house out in Whittier and it was beautiful!  I'm not that familiar with Whittier, so seeing the amazing house the wedding was at was truly a treat.  The food was great (Heirloom Catering in Silverlake, check them out!).  The lasagna cups with beef short ribs inside were truly magnificent.  I'm going to try and make them myself at home!  Pasta, ricotta (instead of robiola cheese), tomato sauce, short rib meat and a little cheese for the top.  I'm hungry now!

One thing though, I swear, I must look like crap when I go to work every day!  Seriously.  I've never received so many compliments or surprised expressions at how I looked before!  You know people, I CAN clean-up nice when the situation calls for it.  :-)  I'm not going to go to any trouble if I'm just going into the office (plus, I get up at 3:45-4:00am, what kind of glamour do you expect that early?), but when I'm outside work, I do.  I ended-up wearing a shiny semi-formal / formal burgundy and black sleeveless knee length dress with matching jewelry and black sling backs and hose.  I'd never worn this dress before and I was really happy with how it fit.  I guess everyone else agreed with me, LOL!  If I get a photo I like, I'll post it here.

Another bonus good thing from the weekend:  I found a new hair color and brand that I like.  John Frieda Precision Foam Hair Color in Dark Brown.  It doesn't stink, doesn't burn and doesn't get all over the place.  It was kinda weird using it as the process is so different from my normal hair coloring routine, but I much prefer it to the old way.  The color came out a touch darker than I'd wanted, but it's nice to be back to having brown black hair, as opposed to medium brown with faded red highlights.  My hair was getting way too light and I don't think it suited my skin coloring and eyes.

I feel like I accomplished a lot yesterday.  I spent most of the day cleaning the bathroom and rearranging closets.  I decided to move Gotham's box permanently from the shower to the tub.  He doesn't seem to care for the new locale and he REALLY doesn't like the fact that I put the top back on the box.  I just hope I don't come home to an apartment with crap all over it because he's mad at me for the change.  As much as I enjoy bubblebaths, I've really been in the mood for showers lately (probably because it's been so hot outside) and it was a pain moving his box out and putting it back in when I was done (plus having to wipe down the shower each time was a pain).  Now that I'm using the shower regularly, one weird thing I noticed is that it doesn't drain while I'm in it.  I don't know if it's because the water is on or the weight of me standing in it or what.  But last night I noticed that water wasn't going down the drain during the shower and I didn't feel any suction when I put my hand over it.  I thought "Damn!  I don't have a plunger and I've been meaning to get one!".  So I got out and when I turned around and looked inside all the water was gone.  Strange eh? 

The whole shower is weird.  It's fairly big and square shaped, but has a small door.  I mean, it's not so small you can't get into it, but it's narrower than any other shower door I've ever seen.  I think I need to get one of those pole organizers to put in one of the corners.  The only place to put anything up high is the soap dish on the wall and that doesn't cut it!  I've got all my potion bottles (shampoos, conditioners, scrubs, etc) lined up on the floor and I'm lazy enough that I don't want to have to bend over to get everything!

So now I have a super clean bathroom (it smells like bleach!...kind of), everything is dusted and the clothes in my closet are back in order.  Hooray!  The only things I have left to do are: vacuum the carpets and wash the kitchen floor / counters.  Maybe I'll do that this afternoon when I get home from work.  Oh yeah and I still need to go through my possessions, yet again, and cull stuff out, but I'm not in the mood to do that right now. 

Hey, do any of you guys know anyone who wants to buy some Tick action figures?  I have a bunch still in their packaging that I want to get rid of.  I'd put them up on Ebay, but there doesn't seem to be much of a market for them.  How about a talking Dan Marino figure?  Anyone want one of those?
