and, still, Monkey!!!

The sweet life.

Yesterday, we did everything. Everything. My favorite part of the day was going to Dulcelandia to get the pinata candy. And to the library (had to throw that in there). We stopped at the Northtown Branch for a literary dose in the midst of the 88 degree-humid as all get out weather on our way to the beauty shop.

I don't know how to drive, and generally eschew the use of cars, but I'll tell ya, they do make life easier. Yesterday, we were able to: meet for falafel in Evanston, pick up the wedding rings (they're too big), get our beach gear, go bra shopping (you can tell we're not married yet, because Don waited for me for an hour in the parking lot reading while I shopped at Marshall's), get the candy, skip on down to the library and then head south. All in one afternoon. Had we relied on public transportation, all of this could have taken several days! A commercial for automobile use or a criticism of the sorry state of the CTA? You decide.

Haven't Blogged in Some Time Now, but Still Getting Married on Sunday

Yes, we are getting married this Sunday. In front of people. Well, some people anyway. I'll be pretty in pink (no white for this girl - I started hyperventilating in the eyelet section of the fabric store). We've been working on our 'drash for the Aufruf this Friday, but I still have to buy the all-important candy for folks to throw at us! We also need a glass for smashing and a kiddush cup.

What else needs to be done?

Decorations redux - Originally, I was going for red/yellow (Curious George), but blue and yellow goods were on sale. Which sports team has blue and yellow colors?? Team Don and Julie, I guess! I still might break down and trade the blue in for red. Ultimately, none of this really matters as long as the food is good. And, it will be, my friends, it will be!

And then, of course, there's the show, which we'll perform this weekend (both pre-and post wedding) at Skinner Park just west of Greektown in Chicago. If it doesn't rain. Although, so far torrential downpours haven't stopped people from coming out. They want their Shakespeare and often come dressed in rain slickers, bearing umbrellas. I love it!
