<--- slacker!

it's been a very busy summer! this month alone:

- i joined loaf in her hometown for her brother's wedding and met her family for the first time

_ loaf and i did a walk-through of our reception site and had a cake-tasting/general plannning session with our caterer

- i graduated from massage therapy school (this was thursday and hasn't sunk in yet)

_ i was able to sub in a few games for the women's summer hockey league here, which was great fun

- i discovered a new craft project and have been going to town with it, lol...

loaf is coming back to town on sunday. monday we're shopping for a dining room set and getting our engagement pics taken, wednesday we're crossing the border ("canada has such a great theme song", says loaf) to meet with our minister, and friday we're heading to fest! well...i'm heading straight (ha!) to fest and loaf is camping nearby with some friends for the weekend. i'm a worker and have to be there early. light crew light crew light crew!!!

ahem. in an attempt to regain some butch cred, i just bought this awesome little multi-use tool:

it has pliers, a corkscrew, a bottle opener, wire cutters, a knife, and 4 screwdrivers! and it's orange! it was pricy, but has a 25-year warranty and it's like a little hand-held toolkit, you know? it's coming with me to fest, along with a cordless screwdriver and a crescent-wrench-on-a-shoelace.

ok. off i go to look up herbs that will bring on periods...this month's first bleeding day needs to happen sometime before next friday, because cramps render me pretty much useless, and i can't be useless at fest. too much to do!! oh, and did i mention that this week we also have to load some of my stuff into loaf's car for the move to florida?
