aging

well it’s been a hectic week and a bit, i feel like i haven’t stayed more than a night in any one place. that’s pretty untrue but i’m still feeling all the travel and car rides. on another note, it’s been delightful and completely worth it. i like being able to go from place to place and feel good and comfortable and happy, i’m not completely used to that but hey, there you have it. today i hung out and watched movies in bed and made tea and did a couple of things via phone so i’m feeling pretty lazy and i’m alright with that. today is ash’s birthday, it’s weird because we just celebrated easter last night and now we have to do family stuff all over again but i enjoy birthdays a lot and ash’s is a pretty damn important one. i made reservations at a restaurant for 6:30 so steve can definitely make it after work and i’m really looking forward to it, she wanted to go to this awesome hungarian place but it’s closed for easter monday and steve tried to talk her into a seafood place but she chose somewhere i can actually eat at so i’m stoked.

this weekend i went to neil’s parents’ house and it was great, erica and dan were there and their dogs are the best in the world, along with neil’s and his cat who is a total bad ass and the most lovable guy ever. neil and i went into town saturday and it was so beautiful out and he got me my easter present and a hair cute and it was awesome! i wish i had been able to go to his family get together but i had to get back for my family’s dinner, holidays are so hard and busy…in the really good way.

i guess the trip is coming up really quickly. ash started talking about what she had to do before then and it’s only a couple of weekends away. i feel completely unprepared, i haven’t even written a speech. i keep thinking that if i watch enough movies about getting married that i’ll eventually rip someone off and convince myself that it’s an original sentiment. i feel pressured, like how long is it supposed to be? when exactly are we supposed to say these things? does the best man go first or do i? i’m at a total loss, i think i just want to keep it short and probably more sentimental than entertaining or comedic. i’m not funny and that whole approach is too much pressure.

this weekend is nicole’s birthday in toronto and i’m really excited about it, i can’t wait to see everyone and celebrate the birth of an amazing girl. i also wanted to see jord this week and visit shannon and penny, i hope everyone’s around cause i miss too many people and i really want to see ‘em. i’m going now to put some tea in a travel mug and get ash a card and some wrapping supplies but i hope i write again soon.
