I was told that I don't update enough.  I thought that my activities don't really merit an update, that they're not really that interesting, but really, "that's the point."  So here it is.

Today, I went to Six Flags for the second time this year; I have a season pass and paid parking all season--if you want to go some time, I want to go with you!  It's one of the few non-wedding-related thing I've done in a little while.  Last week was a marathon of wedding events, and tomorrow starts up another set of wedding-related events (I'm a bridesmaid in two weddings this summer!).  I know: you think I'm just throwing around words here and using "marathon" as an exaggeration, but I promise I'm not: I went to a bachelorette party, then to get our nails done, then a rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, then a bridal luncheon, and then the wedding for one bride; Sunday, we (yep, Jay came with me!) woke up and went to bridal shower for this week's wedding.  Yesterday I donated platelets, today I went to Six Flags with Nick and Mojo (it was hot, but we had a really great time!!), tomorrow I'm going to a bachelorette party, then Thursday is a rehearsal and dinner, and Friday is the wedding.  I'm just go go go, but that's alright--I'm unemployed, what else am I up to, right?

I've also worked on a few crafts in the meantime.  I've made fabric flower brooches, fabric "mums" for bridal showers, and continued working on a quilt for my sister's baby.  My mom's friend is getting married, so I've also helped her make a bouquet of metal brooches--it's kind of a pain in the butt, but it's going to look really awesome when it's done!

Jay found out why one of our tropical plants looked so sad and wilted: the roots were completely disconnected from the topside of the plant.  We had two plants in one container that had no draining hole, so he thought maybe they were drowning; when he moved the plants into a container that drains, he found out the sad news about the roots.  But at least now we know why it looked so sad, and our surviving plant can drain excess water.  The mint on the back porch seems to be doing well, as does the other planter of flowers from one of my girl scouts... even though the flowers got knocked over in last night's storm.  Some friendly person in our complex found it on the ground and put it back on our fence rail.  :)

Jay also helped my dad, my uncle, and James build a fence last weekend (the weekend before the wedding).  It took them two full days of working, but the fence in my parents' back yard looks a million times better than the original fence looked when it looked its best.  Oh.  Jeff came over in time to help with the last five minutes of working on the fence.  (We call him Blister--always showing up when the work's done.  tee hee.)

Tonight is actually Jeff's birthday (Jeff is my sister's husband, btw), so we're about to head out and have a celebratory dinner with him and the family.  :)

Hope you've enjoyed the post!
