Yay, it's Friday!  It took a looooong time to get here!  I can't wait for 3:15pm to get here so I can go home and relax!  I've been up since 2:12am this morning (exactly!) and, I tell ya, an afternoon and evening of lounging around my apartment is looking pretty good!

I'm going to a wedding tomorrow afternoon / evening (congratulations Audry!!!).  Should be super nice, but I hope I get home early.  It's at 5:30pm...... I wonder what the appropriate length of time to stay at a wedding is?  The whole thing is at a residence, so there won't be any driving around from place to place, which is nice.  I hope this doesn't sound really bad, but I'm hoping to be home by 9pm at the latest.  I figure the ceremony will take, what, 30 minutes?  Then there will be the usual commotion of settling everyone at their assigned tables, serving of food, eating, toasting the bride and groom (diet coke for me!), then cake, right?  That should take us to, what, 8:00 - 8:30pm?  Then it shouldn't take more than 45 minutes to drive home (it's out in the San Gabriel Valley). 

I probably sound kinda calculating, but there are going to be co-workers at this wedding and I'm the supervisor of three of them!  Including the bride!  They'll probably be way more comfortable when I'm gone anyway!  Once their supervisor has bailed they can drink the night away and get crazy!  At least I hope they do!  I've got a really good staff and they work really hard.  They deserve to cut loose and have a good time.  Okay.... and I'm not taking a date and weddings are no fun when you don't have a date to be romantic and dance with.  Pathetic, party of one?  RIGHT HERE!  I feel really flattered to have been invited to the wedding at all since the guest list is so small.  It makes me feel good that the bride thinks enough of me personally to ask me to share in this big day.  She didn't invite a lot of her co-workers and didn't invite my boss (who is also her boss).  I guess I'm not such a hard ass meanie afterall?  Damn!  I gotta work on that!!!!

Now the question is: What do I wear?  It's afternoon / evening, so should I wear my wine and black semi formal dress (if it still fits)?  Or can I wear lighter, more summery colors since it's going to be light  out part of the time?  What would Emily Post recommend?

Maybe I'll just get something new tomorrow.  I still have gift cards for Nordstrom and Macy's I can use. :-)

*UPDATE* Hawaii 5-0 Season One just arrived!  Jack Lord!  Yesssssssss!
