Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that I still hadn't written my wedding vows yet? (I like to consider my options for as long as possible and not actually put pen to paper until the very last possible minute.)
When we got to the doctor's office, they gave me this face mask to wear! Remember back two years ago there was a big panic about swine flu? They had just started quarantining people and I was worried that they weren't going to let me board our honeymoon plane to Bali if I was running a fever!
I went to bed the previous night feeling a little crummy, but chalked it up to being tired from the flight. But the next morning I woke up feeling terrible and running a fever! Oh noes!
We ran into Candy at karaoke! We didn't end up staying all that much longer because the place didn't really have a sound system, er, or a place to really even sing karaoke.
Sometimes you get a glimpse into a crazy sub-culture that you've never heard of that has a ton of gear and products and culture and you're just like WHAT? SERIOUSLY? After we'd finished grilling Danielle about her tanning/lotion-collection obsession, we all started asking her questions about her past and where she grew up.
Awww. Look at her little bologna tongue! I was saying goodbye to Maddy because I had to attend an off-site for Yodle up in West Chester super-early the next morning. Ellen invited me to crash at her place because she lives right near there! Yay!
And a fancy coffee maker? What? I was confused. After Meredith was done chuckling at my confusion, she explained that these weren't birthday presents for me, they were WEDDING PRESENTS off of our registry.
Me and Mer. Thanks for all the presents, lady! Look at Maddy gazing up at Meredith with total adoration. I love how she's squeezed herself in between us.
I left Aziza's after-work party to hang out with Rachael. I told Aziza to text me if they ended up in the East Village. She texted me at 3am and I totally...
Later that night we met up with David on the street and went to dinner! Meredith snapped this picture of us right after we all met up on the street. Love it so much.
Well, it didn't make me gag, but I didn't exactly enjoy it either. It tastes like salty licorice with a hint of bathroom cleaner. (Holy shit, it actually does have ammonia in it!
The kid with the family next to us decided to help me dig and Meredith took this photo laughing about me digging in the sand with a ten year old. Haha.
