Not that you'd really notice, since I so rarely dribble words here anyway, but I thought I'd mention I'm heading off for a little getaway to the Land of Oaks to celebrate the engagement of my sister, the formerly Jaded One, and her charming fiance, Mr. Ju-in-Waiting. Mother Ju arrived there last night; the Never-Blogged-Sister-Ju arrives from NYC about an hour ahead of me tonight. The party itself is tomorrow, so feel free to knock back a tall, sparkling glass of ginger ale in honor of the happy couple at about 6 p.m. Pacific time on Saturday. Wish us all luck in avoiding killing one another and remaining focused on the happiness of the occasion, won't you?
Oh, and happy Easter! *bok bok bok*
Posted by cynical at April 06, 2007 12:40 PMOh for heaven sakes! You're finally coming out to my side of the country....possibly my one chance to finally meet you....but I'll be out of town! Don't you know, you're supposed to consult me before planning such excursions!!
Cheers to Jilly and this new chapter in her life! And I hope you have a great time in California....even though I won't be there to be your personal tour guide and chauffeur!
*wink*

Posted by: shelley (not-so-cynical) on April 7, 2007 01:29 PMHappy couples make for great parties because the emotions are so wonderfully palpable. I wish I knew of someone who was planning a wedding. I could go for a party like that.
