The laundry breeds
When you're not looking,
While you're running the vacuum,
Or doing the cooking...
Load after load
In the washer it goes...
Gee, I don't even recognize
Half of these clothes!
Out of the washer
Then into the dryer.
Am I just imagining it;
Did that dirty pile grow higher??
Out of the dryer,
Now to fold and put away...
Doing the laundry eats up
All of our days!

The Wedding - The final chapter...At Last...
I am sorry it has been so long since I have posted on here, but life has a way of grabbing you by the balls and shaking the shit out of you and then spitting you back out on the ground...
On Friday, Sept 10, we slept in and then headed out to Nag's Head and took a two hour dolphin tour. It was really awesome! We saw a lot of dolphins and even a mama and her baby! That was really cool! And the ride back was really cool too, literally! A north wind started blowing across the sound at around 17+ mph!! We were freezing!! Thankfully the car was warm when we got there and we had our jackets in there. We headed out to Blackbeard's Golf and played a round. It would have been really neat if they hadn't waited till we were the 16th hole to turn the water effects on! Of course Hubby whipped up on me! But it was fun! We went out to Jockey's Ridge and hiked on the dunes and got some great pictures! There were 3 "ponds" there left over from Hurricane Earl. And they were full of tadpoles. I got to wade in two of them! We got some souvenirs from Ben Franklin's and candy from Forbe's then headed back to Outback for supper! When we got back to the house, we decided to ride our bikes out to Harris-Teter and get some milk. Hubby was out in front and I had stopped to take some pictures of flowers and I was pedaling fast to catch up with him. I went under a tall pine tree and a bird POOPED ON MY HEAD!!! Now that bird had to time that just right! What were the odds considering how fast I was riding that that bird would hit me in the head!! We got our milk and rode back to the house where I got cleaned up and we found the WVU game on tv and watched it. Marshall was beating us BADLY, so we went to bed. When we got up the next morning we found out that WVU had pulled it out in the fourth quarter and we had WON! It was only 58 degrees on Sat morning so we laid around waiting for it to warm up a little. Then we took our bikes for one last marathon ride out to the other end of the Currituck Club. Over 7 miles total. We had one hill that was a total killer, and I had an asthma/panic attack near the top of it, but we made it. I had to stop and rest a while at the top but the view was incredible! We returned our bikes and walked back to the house and got ready to shop at Tim Buck II. We walked all around there and then got ready to go to the beach. We didn't get to stay as long as we would have liked because it was just too cool. I did track my "Just Married" flippies all up and down the boardwalk :) We came back to the house and cleaned it up, and realized just how filthy it was! We will definately NEVER use Sun Realty again! On Sunday, we got ready and headed home! It was a beautiful drive! I would love to drive the road again from WV into VA. The scenery cannot be beat!
After we got home on Mon, Hubby's eyes were really hurting so I got him an appt with our local eye doc. My teeth were really hurting, so I got an appt with our local dentist. Hubby got eye drops for severely dry eye and I got an antibiotic for a sinus infection that showed up on dental xrays they took to check my teeth. We got the meds and picked up some wedding presents from friends and came home to download the rest of our pictures and work on sorting them out and found out we had picked up a Trojan virus on our computer. So Hubby spent the rest of the evening trying to save everything that the virus was trying to eat, including all our honeymoon photos.
My brother called about the party the following weekend, and then all the "no-shows" started coming in. Hubby's parents were sick, his uncle had just been hospitalized with what turned out to be leukemia. It had been quite the roller coaster since the wedding...My relatives were coming in from out of state for the party, and my brother wanted to do a cookout. So the night before, my Mom went to pick up the cake and the cupcakes for the kids that were coming at Shop N Save in Fairmont. When she got there, they told her we hadn't ordered cupcakes, so she had to wait while they found the order and did the cupcakes. Then she got it all to the checkout and the checker hit the edge of the cake and sent in flying into the cupcakes, and they had to be redone. Fortunately the cake itself survived, but it had the wrong icing on it, and they hadn't left any space for the bride and groom...I don't think we will be using them for the bakery again...After another 20 or 30 minutes Mom was on her way with the cakes...We had the party - 120 invited, 20 showed up...wow...talk about a let down. At least I got to sing with my brother again. That was really nice and all the close family was there. My best friend came and did the pictures - and a wonderful job I might add! If you need pictures, I strongly advise you to contact amandasue.com! She is AWESOME!! We got a lot of nice gift cards and got busy planning to continue our addition! And after my last post, I was contacted by Sun Realty as to why I was so unhappy, and what they could do to remedy it...After I told them all the problems, they never bothered to contact me again...so just adding insult to injury!
