Today's one of those days - I'm feeling uninspired. I've got nothing to do! Well, that's not entirely true; I guess I could find something to do. I have overseas payments to draft for the end of the month, salaries to prepare, cheques to write out, money to collect (yuck - any excuse to get out of that!), clients to phone back, letters to post, insurance claims to sort out. I'm feeling more then a little demotivated and unexcited about any of it. My mind is drifting to who knows where...
We had some super weather over the weekend, Saturday was a gorgeous day - 26 degrees sunshine! Perfect for the wedding I went to in my little red & black polka dot sleeveless dress, which Jake told me made me look like Mini Mouse. I'm still not sure whether that was his idea of a compliment, but judging from his current Disney obsession, I'm guessing (hoping?) it was a compliment. The wedding was great and both Simon and Sam were very emotional. Simon (who works with me) specifically - he really battled his way through his vows and speech. It was very sweet and just proved how deeply they feel about one another. Sam's family are unorthodox Jews and incorporated some traditional glass breaking and dancing into the evenings events. Despite my own Jewish features (specifically my nose - thanks to my Jewish paternal great great grandmother), I'd never been to a Jewish wedding before and it was tons of fun. Plus, there was a lot of good red wine flowing, which left me suffering with a headache until about 6pm yesterday evening... It was SO worth it though, I had tons of fun!!!
I must confess, I'm always a little freaked out about going to weddings on my own. Yes, I know it's weird and I know there are normally quite a few other singles at these events, all of whom are probably feeling pretty similar to me, but there's just something about having a good friend with you at a wedding. Someone in your corner to tell you that you look nice and smell pretty; someone to walk with you to the bar; someone to hold your tissues for you - just in case; someone to dance with and laugh with; someone's eye to catch across the crowded room. The majority of my my guy friends are either married, or live far away. Besides, no woman would appreciate their husband/partner going with another woman to a wedding - no matter how tight the friendship. So I go alone and I'm learning to enjoy that (granted, with a glass of wine in hand). I'm slowly starting to learn how to fit into that 'singles' category again, though it's taken more then a little while. And no, I'm not out on the prowl - I'm just learning to enjoy my own company!!
Anyway, thanks Simon & Sam for a super-duper evening (how delicious was that cake??). You guys are so well suited and you both looked so beautiful and so happy (besides when Simon was sobbing, but we all know they were tears of happiness... Right?) on Saturday. I wish you guys a lifetime of love and every single ounce of happiness possible. Thanks for having me there to share the day with you, I wouldn't have missed it for anything! Enjoy your honeymoon up the Garden Route!
