Neal’s back at work today, and I started in on my Treadmill writing.
Our wedding was just as I wanted it (other than that pesky rain), and our visit to Mohonk Mountain House was impeccable. We had a wonderful weekend, and as soon as I get some pictures back, I’ll share them with you.
I have some pretty things to show you, as well, but the ol’ camera battery needs another recharge first. Tomorrow. We’ll have a substantial post tomorrow. Today I’m still breathing deeply and enjoying the calm after the festivities.
In the meantime, I got tagged twice for the 7 Random Things meme going around. The rules: list seven random things about yourself, then tag seven people.
1. In my late 20s I bleached my hair blonde so I could look like Kenneth Branagh in his film version of Hamlet.
2. I can’t stand bugs in the house, but I won’t kill them unless they’re mosquitos. Usually I plead with Neal to put them back outside where they’ll be happy.
3. When Neal isn’t in the room, I let the dogs on the bed with me. Maddie and I slept together for the first year we were together, and she’s the best sleeping companion–she’s an excellent spooner.
4. I hope to bike across the U.S. someday.
5. I want to start a terrarium. There were several at Mohonk Mountain House, and I’m fascinated by them, even though I’m not that into gardening.
6. Dissecting a fetal pig in Senior biology was one of my favorite things about high school.
7. I order the same foods at restaurants. When I like something (saag paneer), I don’t want to try anything else, I want to have the food I like. This drives my husband (gee, I like saying that) nuts. Which drives me nuts–what the heck does he care what I eat?
Ok, tag, you’re it: Jenny, Annie, Laura, Lizzie, kitkatknit, Kelly, and Adam.
Mohonk! What a wonderful place. Congratulations again.
Oh I love terrariums! When they are done well they are so beautiful
Welcome back!
And, um, I’ve never done one of these Swap Bot things before…do I pick someone to gift? Or will I be assigned to someone?

I went to the Mohonk Mountain House, but for a conference, so I don’t associate it with positive feelings… But it is gorgeous!
I’m glad the wedding went well!
I do the same thing with my dogs. My husband can’t stand to have them in bed but he works nights so when he’s not home I let them up. Glad you had a good time on your honeymoon!
I have a speacial post planned for tomorrow so I’ll save the meme for Fridays post.
Mmmmm….Saag Paneer……I should have mine up soon!
WB!
And Saag Paneer rocks so why try other stuff that will probably rock less?
Oh, I’m glad I’m not the only one who orders the same thing every time. I really have a comfort zone with food & if I’m eating out I want something I know I’m going to like. Drives my family nuts too…
Congrats on the wedding! I’m looking forward to seeing the pictures~
Re #7–I totally do that too! People are always telling me I need to branch out. But why? I know what I like!
I love that Kenneth Branagh was a style inspiration for you!!
Fetal pig memories! Ahhhhh!
Certain places that we go out to, I must eat the same things. My favorite chicken marsala at one place, my favorite onion rings another.
Hiya, you won the Trekking in my contest, so send me hmccoyATgmailDOTcom your mailing address! (Sorry couldn’t find your email addresss).
I love the bit about wanting to look like Kenneth Branagh!
Saag Paneer is one of my favs. too. Having married into an Indain family, I’ve had my share of it! YUM!
