today is the best day

My sister's getting married today.  It's been a long road for her to get to this day, but she's finally doing the deed and making it legal with her little baby's daddy.  They've known each other since they were toddlers.  Toddlers!!  They're having a civil ceremony this morning and a small dinner party tonight.  They're planning a much bigger party to celebrate the occasion over the summer.

(last known picture as a kick ass maiden in waiting)

Isn't she pretty?  I will pay dearly for sharing this with you all.  She's got wicked ways.. I'm sure she'll have a picture of me in my bathing suit posted up on her myspace photo albums within minutes of seeing this here. 

My Aunt who lives out of state called me a few days ago to tell me she had an appointment at a place that's literally five blocks from my house.  So I invited her to spend the night at our place since it's so close.  Wow, she's a lot of fun.  She was a peace loving flowerchild in the '60's, how could she not be fun?  Except that she's kind of a nerd, but I can look past that being that I am one myself.  But she's like super-nerd and uber-cool at the same time.  What I really wanted to talk to her about was the medical history of the women on my dad's side of the family - she's his sister.  My sister and mom share many of the same symptoms/reactions to medications and or illnesses.  I always have the opposite thing happen to me which made me believe I'm more like my father's side of the family.  This could be true or not - but I learned that none of the women, including my grandmother, had any breast cancer, uterine cancer, or heart disease.  But they all had early menopause.  Totally what I was interested in as I'm seeing a big change in my monthly business as I get older.  She said that if I was built like the women on that side of the family, I should hit menopause at 45, a short 12 years from now.  ::sigh::

It's been an interesting couple of days.  I'm off now to shop for a wedding gift and party with my favorite bride.  Hopefully, she'll give me the go ahead to post some pictures ;-)  Peace out until then, my cyber friends.

She is lovely! Congratulations to her and her family!

You, who has been looking forward to finding out the medical history of your fathers side of the family, is calling someone else a nerd?! Hahaha!! :D
