congratulations, rob & kyrie! the wedding was almost a fairy-tale spectacle, held in a palatial compound with roses raining from the sky. i met people i had only heard about (hi, dan!) and re-met people i hadn't seen for years (hi, colleen! hi, donna!). i was in a bright orange dress and it wasn't as bad as i feared.
unfortunately, when we got home jalex was furious at us for leaving amelia alone while we were in corvallis. she said it was animal neglect and she was close to calling the police. but then the next day we spent 14 hours helping her move to her new place w/ erin & catherine. it's a 2-bedroom place on ne ainsworth with huge back & front yards and an abundance of fruit trees.
yesterday i took philip to sell a long box of comics to future dreams, and on the way back we found random water towers that looked like giant green robots, so we had to stop! the water towers were next to a community garden and looking at all the strawberries made us jealous, so we picked up michael and went to burgerville for strawberry shortcakes and shakes. then i showed michael all the stuff from arizona & the wedding, and we went to see shrek 2, which i thought was okay, but i liked the first one better.
this morning was spent attempting to clean the shower, which reached the appalling stage and isn't about to give up any ground now. i wrestled with it for about 2 hours before i fell into the rest of my otherwise relaxing day, and i'm about to go grocery shopping just to prove i can, in fact, be productive.
i just realized i can invite people to use gmail. mph already got one, and i gave one away to a usability person i know, so that leaves me one to give away. anyone interested? [update 06.03.04: leopoldo got my extra gmail account.]
