I'm back!

The wedding kicked butt, and actually went off without a hitch. Given that the night before my sis was up doing the seating chart, this was rather a minor miracle. But it did. It rained- no, POURED- all day, but that's minor. She looked stunning, the flowers were gorgeous, the DJ was good, the photographers were professional, the room was beautiful, and everyone seemed to have a good time. I didn't even look quite as bad as I could have, and even better hubby got rather drunk and was quite appreciative :) I love it when he gets drunk. I really do. He's not a lech or anything- he's just more expressive of what he's really thinking. And he dances.

So we're home, having survived. And a warm bath is definitely on the agenda for tonight.

Thoughts and all that:

1.) Happy birthday wickedevra! I know it's late, but my LJ bday list doesn't have you listed.

2.) Anyone have any really amazing fic or art recs from the last week? Like, the can't miss sort of stuff?

3.) Must write much. Papers for work, novel, fics, MRFH reviews, Christmas cards.... Plus I need to start prepping for baby and do some major cleaning. I'm gonna be busy. I barely got anything written at my parents' place, unless it had to do with the wedding.

4.) Would love to hear any R/S-centric reports of The Witching Hour. (Headed over to the community to check out the general stuff.) REALLY wish I could have gone, but yeah. SO would not have happened.

5.) Penn State beat Ohio State!!!!!! WHOOHOO!!!! :)

Just curious--when is your due date? (Because the really neat thing is, I was almost exactly where you are 4 years ago, and 9 years ago. Except both of mine decided to delay their appearance until December. They are 6 days shy of being exactly 5 years apart.) You probably mentioned it before, but I'm a spazz and forget what I'm told. :-)

Heh. I actually don't really expect people to remember (it's not like he's going to show up that day anyway!). November 25. We've got a pool going. Mom's betting November 14 or 15, because that's when she's got this huge state-wide social studies test she needs to be present for (she teaches). My old neighbor is hoping for November 30, because that's his birthday. Hubby is guessing December 3, right before they would have to induce (or via induction), because he says I can't do anything on time, so having a baby shouldn't be an exception. (Thanks, hon!) And I say November 24 at 6PM, right when everyone wants to be at home sticking forks into turkeys :)

Too eerie--daughter was due November 30, born December 10. Son was due November 26, born December 4. :-) (Both, strangely enough, were Tuesday babies--"Monday's child is fair of face/Tuesday's child is full of grace...") Yeah, your little guy's got only about a 5% chance of showing up on his due date. If I were a betting woman... I'd say... December 2.

They'll induce if you're only one week late? Up here they let you go almost two. (My daughter was not induced, precisely, but we had to smoke her out. You probably don't want to hear about that one. My son behaved.)
