eternally chaotic

A technical problem has happened between the keyboard and the chair.  I recently discovered thanks to feedback from Tina, that our website videos were not working properly and were not viewable without being invited.  Well that certainly isn’t how its supposed to work.  Should YouTube know what I want and just do it for me in the first place.  Turns out I uploaded all but one of the videos we have published as private – meaning just that – we have to invite you to view or you can bugger off.  The problem has been corrected now and all the video from past posts should be visible.  Enjoy !!!

Last night Berkeley Lake Elementary School had its school concert for the third and fourth graders. Jacob has been excited about going for the past few weeks. He has been asking us to play various Michael Jackson videos online and has every now and then been dancing like a zombie in the kitchen. I didn’t know why, or didn’t put the two together, that he might be performing something special for us. Well now…were we in for a treat.

We decided not to use a wedding planner and took on the task of researching all the various vendors needed to make Our night run like clockwork.  What an undertaking this has been.  We have been somewhat, if not entirely, consumed by the selection process.  We don’t want to give to much away, but here is a taste of what we decided upon.

With our wedding just around the corner, as weddings go anyway, our first and foremost task was to select invitations.  WOW – Invitations are extraordinarily expensive – and on that note we decided to make our own.  A long and tedious process but financially worth it – (keep in mind that every penny we save goes toward more alcohol for all of you ) The only thing Carol could compare it to was working on an assembly line.  I did the computer work and she did the assembly.  They are now complete and will be in the mail shortly – just in case you were anxiously checking your mailbox.

It has been a few weeks but the selection for bridesmaid dresses has been made.  It didn’t come easy though.  We weren’t sure what color we wanted to use but narrowed it down to a few: red maroon, clover green, marine blue, and black.   Surprisingly the color that came out on top had been tossed around every so often while looking through magazine ads, or shopping in the store, but each of those times either Isi or I dismissed it, our eye being caught by something else.  After seeing the color, Blue Velvet, actually worn by the girls while they were trying on their dresses sealed the decision.
