Lots going on in my life lately.... The wedding plans are coming along nicely. DJ booked, reception venue booked, invites chosen... just a couple othere major points and then it's down to the gajillion little things and details. My grandfather's place is just about done, and it's already been listed with an agent. All that's left is to do some cleaning, and a little bit of tidying. And to top it all off, we're putting an offer on a new house tomorrow morning. It's decided step up from where we are now, and there will be room for everyone without us stepping on one anothers toes all the time. Space.... sweet space. Ddon't get me wrong, I love my family, but sometimes I just want to be alone. And I know they sometimes feel that way too...

Tonight, at Richmond Sushi "But I don't like seafood...." In other news, went to see 'Couples Retreat' tonight with my fiancee. We both laughed, a lot. Is it "cinema"? No, most certainly not. But it was good entertainment. If you can appreciate it for what it is, you'll probably like it.

Wow... it's been a while, hasn't it? So the plans are coming along nicely for the whole wedding thing. The ceremony location is booked, and so is the DJ. The reception is now down to just a couple choices, and the photography choices are also being narrowed down. She has her dress picked out, and is going in Thursday for a proper try-on, and to show it to some friends and family. I'd heard a lot of noise about how hard it can be to plan a wedding. And honestly, I'm not really that stressed about it. Then again, I rarely get stressed about many things, do I? Seriously though? The DJ is absolutely kick-ass. We were at a couple wedding shows these past couple weekends, and we saw him spinning a bit. Man, is this guy good. The transitions are utterly spot on, and I'm looking forward to having him there.

I finally found some... and they're real. Yes, I finally have grey hair. Granted, they're on my chin, not in my hair. But this is the inimitable progression of age. Maybe now that I'm going grey, I can finally get some respect and be taken seriously. Also, does this mean I have to grow up now?

'Happiness in life is like balancing on the top of a mountain peak; it's all uphill getting there. And once you arrive, you have to be even more careful, because it's a long way down if you slip and fall." (Today's wisdom is courtesy of J.R.R. Tolkien, paraphrased to make it understandable)

For all the talk I've heard over the years of the dreaded bride-zilla, I've yet to see it out of Jeanette. I'm hopeful for next month however. In the meantime though, plans are still being drawn up. Tonight's adventure consisted of booking the chapel; that at least is a major obstacle overcome. For guests, it'll be a good venue because there's a bunch of hotels in the immediate vicinity, as well as some other forms of entertainment. Plenty of ways to kill time, if required. Now we need to find a venue for the reception....

Well, it's been 9 days since I proposed, and it's amazing how fast plans can move forward when you have two people of a (mostly) like mind working on things. The date has been set at May 15th of next year. We have a good idea for the venue of the ceremony AND the reception, as well as the pictures (they're all close to one another). We have a rough guest list sorted out, and Jeanette has a pretty good idea what dress she'll be getting, or so I'm told. Jeanette also has a friend who is a wedding planner, and she's agreed to work with us on this as well. The big one in my mind is also moving forward... the entertainment. We'll probably get a DJ, but there's going to be so much more. I had one idea for "alternate" entertainment, and Jeanette has finally conceded to allow it to happen. I won't say what it is just yet, but suffice it to say that there will be on part of the evening's fun and games that will be absolutely epic.

I think I've got something to keep me blogging a bit more. You should all be utterly indifferent to this fact by now, I imagine. There a series of new experiences coming to my life, which should make for some good blog fodder...

There a series of new experiences coming to my life, which should make for some good blog fodder......I'm getting married.

Yes, you read that right, the 40-year-old-marriage-virgin is getting hitched. I asked Jeanette to marry me last night (in a rather unique and embarrassing way, I might add), and she said yes. Tentatively we're looking at the middle of next May; just under 10 months. This satisfies my desire for a short-ish engagement, while also satisfying her desire to plan the living bejeezus out of things.

And I've got a new nickname for myself now too... World? Meet Groomzilla. ]]> Jeremy 2009-07-13T14:20:00-08:00 2009-07-13T14:20:00-08:00 tag:fluffontheinternet,2009:FluffOnTheInternet.421

For some reason, this does not surprise me in the slightest... http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2009/07/13/cats-purring-humans.html

So I just found out that my company has lost a big client. Not the biggest, but definitely up there. Either way it's not pleasant. The shock of it hasn't set in yet I don't think. It will, which will undoubtedly be unpleasant for those closest to me. Let me take this opportunity to apologize in advance if you feel the brunt of my wrath. But this too shall pass; that darkest always comes before the dawn. I guess it's time to switch my brain back into heavy marketing mode, isn't it? If anyone knows of a company looking for some IT help, let me know....
