Right now after looking back on this thread I see several of us that got married in November. I got married twice to the same person in the same year.
We were married on a Sunday the first time. I was to pick up are marriage license on the Friday before the wedding day.

After getting ready to go into town to pick up the marriage license my mom said that the state office is closed today for Veterans Day. It just so happened that the lady at the state office building that had told me to pick up the licence on Friday had forgot that they were closed also. Several other couples could not get there marriage license either.

We went ahead with the wedding on Sunday. Then had to go back the next day on Monday and say are vows all over again with the priest, bestman, and maid of honor. So does that mean I get to celebrate both days?:)

Sure, Ducky -- celebrate both days! Where I got married last year it was November 14, BUT back home in N.America, it was still November 13. So I'm going to celebrate both days too!

Tabby and Tex I'm waiting for him to call. Did I mention we don't live together. Been separated since May. That is why all the anxiety. Normally I don't care a whit about these things and we usually plan a little getaway around our anniversary. This year we are back to square one. Dating. So a date at home is not the worst thing that could happen. Wink, wink.

Ducky and Yankee, both my anniversaries are on the same day. First year we got married on a Friday. Next year was leap year, got married on Sunday.

Then all the more reason for him to wine and dine you and sweep you off your feet and beg your forgiveness for being the cad that he obviously is for causing you all this anxiety!!!! ;)
Whatever you do, I hope it's happy!

Right now, I am glued to my city's Mayoral race election results.

The incumbent Republican has 2,040 votes
The challenging Democrat has 2,052 votes

The challenger is 21 years old.

There is only one more precinct left that has not reported yet.

This could potentially impact Unit, as the Mayor is his boss's boss's boss.

Interesting.

Edit to add - final numbers are in - The current Mayor wins by 4 votes. 2,223 vs 2,219

Can you say recount?

Right now I want to say hey, I got married in November too! The 15th, which my husband teases me about, says I wanted to get married on payday.

We were living in Italy and had already planned to come back to the U.S. on some free plane tickets that I had won. Right before the trip we found out that the Army was planning on sending us to 2 different places when we left Italy, even though they'd promised otherwise. We figured we might as well get married while we were in the States so we could get stationed together. I dragged him to every mall in Pinellas County, FL looking for a dress. He went into one Sears and had his suit. We got married at the courthouse and went to Taco Bell afterward. Because I knew his parents couldn't take time off work on short notice, it didn't seem fair to invite just my family. So we had no one there, and my parents were furious and heartbroken about it. We had planned to have a "real wedding" a few months down the road, but it never happened. Only when I produced a cute grandchild for them did they ease up about the whole thing.

Right now I just want to say how much I absolutely hated Phantom of the Opera. It was the worst Broadway show I have ever seen.

Aw Ginger, maybe it was the production. I loved it, the song Wishing you were Somehow here with me, knowing that you never will... ah memories. Maybe it was how much you paid for the tickets? I just got so wrapped up in it, and I saw it in Milwaulkee witht he WORST production/orchestra pit. I had bought the CD and listened and listened to it... now cats. that was a different story!! Alth I do like Andrew Lloyd Weber, I'm even wanting to see Starlight Express. So perhaps I'm hopeless!!

Right Now, I'm wasting time till I can rinse. And see a whole new me!! :)

Right now I'm wondering more about Afterglow.

oh, and recount!! Did you ever notice those things rarely change? Our incumbant mayor lost by 2 votes, and they recount, he still lost by 2 votes, we lol because our neighbor and his wife voted against the mayor, it was all thier fault!!

Right now I am in a much better place than yesterday. DH and I elected to stay in last night.

First of all he was starving when he got home (his home) and ate. Ordinarily that would have annoyed me but he is fasting on purpose, it's not like he forgot to eat lunch. He was willing to go out anyway but that seemed kind of dumb.

So we decided to go out on the weekend. Better plan anyway. I really don't look to go out much on week nights. We both have demanding jobs and it is nice to veg out at home.

I'm not the wine and dine type anyway. I'm more the jeans and grab a Blimpies kind of gal. I was primarily interested in the company not the locale.

But he did go a bit overboard with a gift and I was really surprised. He got me earrings and a pendant. 22kt gold with diamonds. My husband has never ever bought me diamonds. He has bought me a fair amount of beautiful jewelry over the years but never diamonds.

He said it was a special day, that's why the diamonds. They are small but there are a lot of them. He "has a guy" who makes custom jewelry as a side business to jewelry repair. Everything I have gotten in the last few years has been truly one of a kind.

So you guys were right he did spoil me. And if that was not enough, he fixed the circulator on the furnace and one of my computer programs, among other things, wink, wink.

You can imagine in my situation I sometimes feel insecure. But last night I really felt it will be till death do we part. Some people just belong together even if they reach impasses from time to time.

Even Jake tried to help. DH hasn't stayed over since I got Jake. Jake does not sleep in bed, but last night he parked himself on DH chest which delighted DH to no end. Jake went out of his way to be charming all night. Good kitten. That's the way to get yourself a daddy.

Not1worry, your wedding sounds like my first wedding. We were only dating for 5 months. DH was an illegal immigrant. To wait for a traditional wedding would just be putting our lives further on hold. As it was immigration was a 3 year nightmare. Anyway, I knew he was the one for me very quickly.

We got married by the mayor. My parents stood up for us. His parents are on the other side of the world. He bought a suit at Sears (I'll never hear the end of complaining about that) and I bought a suit at Sterns without it even being on sale! Pretty much a first for me. Afterwards we took pictures at my college campus, went to dinner at a very fancy restaurant and then went to Sears to buy towels. I always tell people I spent my honeymoon at Sears.

We moved into my parents basement and slept on a pull out couch - the mattress worked better on the floor and I brought the red wood furniture in from the backyard to round out the household. Know what? It wasn't that bad. LOL

The following year we got married in church which was important to me. The reception was for my mother. I am an only child. I could not deny her. And we took a real honeymoon to Florida.

And today is a bonus day. I completed 18 weeks of grand jury duty. The judge dismissed us early and said enjoy the mall. Even she seemed to think we deserved the get out of work free day. So I am making the most of it.

Hugs to everyone for being so supportive.

Right now, I am so happy for Gidget!
I am so very sad for Ginger. I am not a huge ALW fan, but I loved Phantom! Of course, hearing Sarah Brighton sing it, how could you not.

AHA!!!! gidget, we knew he would spoil you!! hip hip hooray!!

i am so sorry ginger didn't enjoy the phantom. when i lived in the bronx, people would donate tix to things to the medical students, so my boyfriend and i would often get last-minute things for musicals and the like. we saw 'The Wiz' the night after it opened, "hot L baltimore", "a delicate balance" (with christopher reeve and katharine hepburn)--all for free. alas, along came an opera. and we tried. we really did! i had been forced to go with my girlfriends' parents (prominent physicians in the san francisco bay area) many times as a kid. i thought i had matured. bf and i got all dressed up. i was 20 and he was 22. off we head to the opera. well, he was snoring loudly before 10 minutes had passed and i was bored out of my skull! i guess i cannot sit through an opera, although i can listen to a cd of an opera singer for hours on end. gimme leontyne price or andrea bocelli and i can listen to a cd through.
we could barely make it to the intermission so we could leave! other medical students, who also got free tickets, teased us for weeks about falling asleep during a loud opera!

Right now, I'm toying with the co-workers that I despise.

I have cleaned out all of my personal items from my area, and making them wonder.

Right now I am listening to my soundtrack CD of the musical "Titanic". I made my first trip to NYC a couple of weeks ago and am so envious of all you who live there and can go to the theater. It is my new "some day I am going to go to....." dream. I needed a new dream because I finally got to see the Statue of Liberty thanks to some pretty awesome friends of mine.

AND I want to give a big shout out to JAN. She has been doing a whale of a job spoiling "Stating Over". A monumental task being that the show comes on five days a week and she types with only two fingers! Lots of folks are coming over from the official site...and we have word that at least one housemate is lurking! WAY TO GO JAN!

Yeah Gidget...

lol half, great idea

Right now I would like to join Mary and add my voice to hers (et el) THANK YOU JAN!! :) :)

Right now my hair looks good, not purple.

Right now I'm biting my tongue. dh called, and he "has a meeting" for 3:30, it was a 1:00 meeting, but the boss changed it. (also adding, its nothing about dh, or trust, that's ok, its just his job really sucks and I want him to find a headhunter!! Maybe one for Florida!) I told him what I thought, and he said he'd be at the meeting, but I would rather him keep his job then sit in a meeting with teachers, its not going to change anything him being at the meeting...

Right now Im so mad at myself I could spit! Here I am gearing up for a big move...gonna be on my own for the first time AND a single mom. Nobody thinks I can do but Im doing it anyway. Ive spent the last few weeks trying to convince all the nay sayers that I am a grownup now and will not be making the STUPID mistakes I have been known for in the past. I WAS WRONG! I just got the cell phone bill and made so many calls in the past month my bill is $500!!!!!!!! Not the best way to start out on the "anti screw-up" phase of my life. I cant believe I did that.

Right now,I wish Emeril or the Naked Chef would show up at my door and cook us all dinner. I get so tired of night after night trying to figure out something to make.
