O hi! Have we met? I am a slug.

There was time, about a month ago, when I was not a slug. I would go to yoga, and run on Sundays. I was full of energy, and joie de vive.

But now, I am a slug. A wobbly, lazy slug.

It started innocently enough - a bad week, a late day of work, a missed class. But now we are here, and I have not run or done a downward dog in nigh 30 days. I look at my belly conspiratorially, demand to know what it has done with the sleek muscles that were visible just a few weeks ago. It glares back at me, and rumbles "Hey, YOU are the one that decided chocolate peanut butter ice cream is a suitable daily breakfast treat."

What can I say? I like ice cream.

But this will not do! I have no energy, and all I want to do is snuggle up next to Fiance Kaboom! and watch "Heros" (I am still on the first season, do not ruin it!). So starting now, I am launching the official "Get Back in Shape You Miserable Pudge-Nut" initiative. It will be a rigorous program of getting myself back on track with a vengeance.

I just need to finish that carton of ice cream, so it stops taunting me.

Last night, myself, my sister, and Fiance Kaboom! piled into his car after work, and headed to look at another potential wedding place, at the insistence of my mother. We spent 30 minutes winding around the spindly streets of northern Jersey, to the P----- (names will be omitted, to protect the out-of-date). We arrived in 1974. 1974 was covered in wood paneling, stained glass, marble and ornate woodwork. 1974 smelled like old mothballs. 1974 had ice sculptures, and no natural light. A porn movie could possibly be shot iin 1974, or perhaps a shoddy remake of "The Godfather." I smiled, spoke pleasantly with the host, and spent the tour shooting Fiance Kaboom and and my sister "O HELLS NO" looks from the corner of my eye.

Then my parents showed up, and we gorged ourselves on one of the awesomest, most inexpensive and delicious buffets I have ever eaten. I sure as heck won't get married there, but darn, that was some great food. My father ate his way through half the coconut shrimp in the universe, while I made it my mission to eat as many oysters as I could muster.

So the castle is still at the top of the list, though my sister thinks we should keep looking, if only as an excuse to eat more food.

This weekend we are having a little engagement shindig at my favorite beer hall in Astoria. The beer hall is one of my favorite places in New York: a huge, open-air venue, filled with delicious beer, amazing food, and occasional polka. I am in a bit of shock the sheer amount of friends who are coming out to celebrate with us - should be one heck of a night!

My cat, Haiku, is utterly adorable. He's realized where I stand in the mornings to take my photos. Now, he sits himself up there, and watches me work it, whilst begging for affections. It is rather crippling in its cuteness. He even ingratiated himself into this shot. Little scamp.
