The Day Before the Wedding

Song Lyric of the Day:

You’re falling back to me / The star that I can see / I know you’re out there somewhere out there

Our Lady Peace / “Somewhere Out There”

8:57AM.
Well, tomorrow’s the big day. My little sister, Vanessa, is getting married. I’m thrilled she found someone who makes her happy, treats her well, and takes good care of her; ditto for Samantha, my other little sister, who will also be getting married in a few months. It’s a good thing that the three of us have found great men, because the women in my family are not necessarily known for being low maintenance or, well, easy to deal with. I know I can be off the chart occasionally. But my sparkling personality and sense of humor more than make up for that. Or so I’ll remind Rich.

In honor of weddings, both imminent and upcoming, and commitment in general, here’s a quick meme to help you kill a few minutes:

What are the five qualities, ideals, or characteristics that best define your relationship with your significant other?

  1. Loyalty
  2. An ability to compromise, honed after years together and many near-death experiences
  3. Open communication
  4. Finding humor in almost any situation
  5. Being best friends

Feel free to either post your own list or email it to me.

9:45AM.
Here’s another time filler:

What do you do that you think–or know–drives your significant other up the wall? Here’s what I think, based on years of studying Rich and listening to his well-meaning lectures:

  1. Watch too much TV
  2. Let my fear of failure get the best of me
  3. Am a cat optimist
  4. Not always assertive when I should be
  5. Need to learn to prioritize better, in all aspects of my life

Bonus items:

  1. Hog the bedcovers
  2. Can relate everything in life back to The Simpsons.
