Man Down

When I logged into Blogger this morning I saw I was down one follower.  Who knew Bin Laden was reading Ad Bits!?  Well, I'm happy to be short one reader if it means he's a goner.

So May is starting off with a bang (if you will) and I have to say, the end of April was fantastic too!  The wedding I was in Saturday was perfect.  It rivaled Kate and William's if you ask me!  As an added bonus, I fit into my bridesmaid dress!  It was a photo finish, but that baby zipped in the end!  Here I am with Jim and the girls.  This is one of two family pictures we have taken since Adrienne was born.

Why are both my girls pointing at their right cheeks?  Are they pointing at their dimples?  Pondering something?  It's a mystery!
Here's to a magnificent May, full of woo-hoos my wonderful, peaceful, not-a-terrorist readers.  May your joy be contagious!

Mad Fun in Madison!

A word about the wedding over the weekend.  It rocked.  Besides my own, it was the most fun wedding I've ever been to.  (If you're reading this and I attended your wedding please know yours was a close second!)  It was crazy fun in the fullest sense of crazy.  For instance:

~M woke up with the flu.  Snafu!  She bounced back in time to get down the aisle (the minister pointed out she was carrying a basket that could double as a barf holder).
~We forgot a groomsman after the ceremony when we left for pictures.  Oops!  He hitched a ride and zoomed over; I was thankful it was a guy and not a girl, who undoubtedly would be full of snarky remarks like, "I told you I was just running to the bathroom and not to leave without me!  Is there even any alcohol left?!"
~There was a smallish fight.  A disgruntled date didn't like a guest dancing with his girlfriend.  Seriously disgruntled date?  Is this your first wedding?  People do tend to dance at these things.  Seven punches were thrown (who counted?  Not sure.) before the guys calmed down.  This proves once again alcohol and testosterone may be key ingredients in the recipe for disaster.

Highlights?  The bachelorette party was beacoup fun, my toast at the rehearsal dinner seemed to go ok (they laughed/ they cried, which was my goal of course), and Jim's toast was appropriate (thank you Lord!) and awesome, Mols and the other flower girl sang Jesus Loves Me (the bride and groom did the sing a song with the word "love" in it thing), and people danced danced danced! 

Can I just reiterate how very much I love weddings?!  I promise a commercial tomorrow, but I'm still in wedding mode today, so you're stuck with a couple pics:

M is on the right.  You can't even tell she was puking and having horrible diarrhea earlier that day.

My brother and sister and I.  Two-thirds of us are married now!

My little family.

It's A Nice Day For A White Wedding

It's WEDDING SEASON!!! There is little I love more than a wedding, and I'm in full-on wedding mode as I have one to attend this Saturday. What does full-on wedding mode mean you ask? Well, first things first, I've conditioned myself so a substantial amount of alcohol can be consumed without getting cut off (that happened at ONE wedding ok? One. Apparently they thought I requested an inappropriate song, when really I would request it whether or not I was sloshy- anyone want to guess what the song was? You win a virtual high-five from me!). Also, dresses and shoes have been borrowed from friends and family so crossover wedding attendees (that is, guests who are at multiple weddings with me throughout the summer) won't see me in the same outfit twice. Address book has been consulted so names of kids, parents, and pets are fresh in my brain; similarly, politically correct tidbits have been prepared for awkward silences (pre-drunkeness of course). For example: "Anyone here Catholic? What's up with your priests molesting all those little boys?" Just kidding! An actual example might be, "Did you know the platypus is the only mammal that lays eggs? Also, the males are venomous."

In honor of the season, here is an awkward wedding moment we've all had:
