...and it's 4:41 AM in England. I wonder if William and Kate are awake? Did they even get any sleep?? Their Royal Wedding is hours away.
My DVR already set. Unlike in 1981, when Williams' parents, Charles and Diana, were married. Everybody got UP to watch it. No DVR's, and very expensive VCR's then, no YouTube and Al Gore hadn't invented the internet yet:) My roommate came into my room, because I had the color TV--about a 13 inch one, yet color nonetheless. Neither one of us liked Diana's dress. I can honestly say, 30 years later, I'm still not to thrilled by it. Twas the '80's!
I suspect Kate's dress will something form fitting. It will be lovely, I believe.
30 years. Where DID the time go?
And look at the time now. I need to go to bed. William and Kate are starting their day. And I need to finish mine.
Royal, indeed.

OKC is OK with Me
A co-worker chum of mine got married in Oklahoma City earlier today at 1pm. Had a festive time and fun. A few other co-workers, also made the trip. It's a road trip of 3 1/2 hours and I arrived a half hour before wedding time.
My plan was to stay until about 3:30ish, and then head home. Well, it was 6:30, and I'd wished I'd packed a little bag and got a cheap room. There was a Wal-mart down the street from the reception, and considered just getting a few toiletries and spend the night. Just tired.
Anyway, I pulled into my driveway about 20 mins ago, at 9:40pm. It would have been a few minutes earlier, however I didn't know the exit, from the freeway, to my house was closed. But I'm here. The contacts out, cats replenished, and headed to my bed to watch the Iowa Hawkeyes play. I'm glad their playing in the Pacific Time Zone, game started just a few minutes ago. And the paper will just need to wait until tomorrow. I'm beat.
Oh the Power Point presentation I had to do? Did I tell you I realized I didn't even HAVE PP on my PC? So the freeware I found saved the day. Yet you get what you pay for because it crashed 3 times. I got it done and went to bed about 1am last night. So to do a round trip 400 mile, really wasn't something I wanted to do.
Yet, I did. My chum just glowed and was a gorgeous bride. I'm glad I know her.
