Saturday was the first of a (yet to be determined) number that are lined up for the next few months. This one was a fairly basic gig, a few highlights:
- The church decided last minute that the flower girls couldn't throw rose petals because they might stain the carpet. I personally think the girls' main job was to look cute walking down the aisle, but they had been practicing for weeks so. . . guess who shredded white and green paper napkins (!) so they would have something to sprinkle.
- One of the ring bearers picking his nose mid-ceremony
- Discovering it was an open bar reception when the invitation said it would be cash
- Cream cheese icing instead of butter cream
- Going out for a couple beers afterward in full wedding attire - Heather definitely rocked the full length bride's maid gown. She was even congratulated by strangers (not sure why - it was fairly obvious that she was neither a bride nor a prom queen, but she said thanks anyway)
Other than that, a not too eventful weekend in Indianapolis. Weather was cold and drippy. Cubs were annihilated Saturday (2-16) and Sunday (0-9). I am fairly certain it is because I am not in Chicago. Perhaps my vicinity to Wrigley has an impact on team karma. I will test this hypothesis and get back to you.
I will be driving home in a few hours. Wish I could sleep now. I will add to the nightmare that is the 80/94 construction traffic in a car ride that should be four hours and will end up over six. Seriously, this project was started in 2003. The website informed me:
There is no work scheduled on the Borman Expressway in 2006. The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) will resume construction in Spring 2007 when it begins rebuilding the Borman Expressway interchange at I-65. When finished in 2009, the new highway...How can they take an entire year off? No wonder it is a six year project. Sucks.
On the drive out to Indy, a green explorer made the brilliant decision to take the shoulder and bypass the miles of bumper to bumper. He passed me, I called him some rather unladylike names, and then a cop passed me. The ensuing ticket writing was at least something to stare at that wasn't a concrete barrier or an orange cone. Maybe something equally dramatic will happen on the way home. . .

Then how do you explain what happened when you went to the game you bozo?
There are exceptions to every rule?
Yes and you were also busy talking. So a first modification of the hypothesis is that Lada must be paying attention to the game...D
maybe that game can be the control...
