I'm getting used to going in to work for a couple hours in the morning and coming home in time to watch Full House followed by Step by Step. It's not that I don't work when I'm home, but I do watch TV while I'm working. You don't need your full attention to search for various types of meters or work on your abstract.
My cousin's wedding this weekend was...interesting. She has once again broken the mold in the family so I'm free to follow. First she lived with a guy without being married, so I wasn't the first one to do so. Then she had a very unusual wedding, so I'm pretty much free to do what I want!
It was an outdoor wedding, but they didn't get chairs so almost everyone was standing. The guy that married them was pretty odd, talking about how hearing birds sing at 5 am makes him think of Courtney and Joe's love. Oh, and he said Courtney's parents were Diane and Michael, when my uncle's name is Dennis. And they did readings with only one of them from the Bible (something from Song of Solomon--that part about my lover). If my grandma could stomach that, I think KP and I will be a-ok whenever we decide to tie the knot.
The reception was my aunt's part of the wedding, so it was *very* expensive with an open bar (as in, including top of the line liquor). It was a really good thing KP and I didn't drive ourselves down because we both got pretty drunk. I was drinking vodka and cranberry juice, and after the third one the bartender would just make it for me when I walked up to him. :P The next morning we both felt fine and my mom said we should have felt like shit.
There were also so many babies in the family!! It's all the grandchildren of my mom's cousins, so cute! I would really like to start a family soon after I'm finished with school. KP and I have been playing with baby names, but I'm sure by the time it happens we won't remember the ones we talked about.

Carrie's got baby fever! No, it's okay... I'm excited about having kids too - just not right now. I would be really scared if you said something like, "I've decided to start having kids now, even though I'm still in vet school." Then I would know that you've gone off the deep end.
I sometimes wish my job was sort of like yours. It would be nice to just stay at home some days. I thought the summer would be more relaxed without classes and med students, etc... but we have summer students in the lab so it seems even more hectic. Bah!
If you and Kyle are going to have a weird wedding, can I play some sort of role? Like I could be the girl dressed up like a fairy or something, and I sprinkle love powder on you two before you kiss? I think that would be fabulous. :-D
Hahaha, I just about died laughing at that last paragraph. I think I would love that, especially if you flew in on invisible string so you were hovering all over the place. :P
Oh! Oh! That's even better! I didn't even considering flying in! I'm really excited now. I'm going to wear tights and a tutu and everything.
