This past week's kept pretty nicely in theme with the rest of the month of November and been mostly about relationships. Not mine (and, given my mid-month problems in that department, that's probably a good thing). No, this was a week about other people's relationships. That said, my friend's relationships are mostly not something that it's my place to discuss on my blog, so this is just a place-holder, a bit of digital string tied around a virtual finger to remind my future self, when I read back on this entry later, that this past week So-And-So started dating, Someone's new guy may be crazy and Another Person got turned down in a most uncool way.
That said, there is one relationship I'm cool talking about, at least a little: Aaron and Jen's. Why am I cool talking about it? Because they got married a week ago today, and that's all public and whatnot to begin with. Plus it's just awesome, and I was thrilled that I got to be there for it.
Best part of the wedding? Well, no offense to Aaron and Jen, but I think it was the shrimp wrapped in bacon served during the cocktail hour. Serving something like that just takes a very special kind of class.
Also, because I had to hit the Right Coast for said wedding, I got to be with my family on Thanksgiving. There are some things in life that, years gone by, are colored by the weight of nostalgia. They're things that, if you ever get back to them, are better in memory than in reality. I'm happy to report that Thanksgiving dinner with my family isn't like that. It was every bit as great as I remember it being, and I would only complain that it was just too short. I really do love Thanksgiving.
Back on the Left Coast, now, and spent today getting reaquainted with my bed, my bookshelves, my tv and my local grocery store. Tomorrow I'm back to something resembling normal.

Yeah, that's what they gave us instead of beer nuts and pork rinds.

Shrimp wrapped in bacon... So divine... Yum!
Congratulations to Aaron and Jen! May your lives be filled with happiness and love always!
I extend my sympathy to both Someone and Another Person. That sucks.
And congratulations to So-and-So! :)

Yes, congrats Aaron (in case Jason forgot to extend my congratulations to you like I asked him to). :P
Also, So-and-So: May you be quite happy, Someone I am sure will be fine and enjoy their life and I am sorry for whoever Another Person is. :(

I like the fact that you know two out of the three people I was talking about there. Well, three out of the four. That just makes me laugh.
And I think I said congrats on your behalf. But, then again, I might not have. I can't remember.

No, I don't believe you ever said congrats on behalf of Ogre, but thank you! And thank you Sarah!
