I got so much wedding stuff done today. One part was to go down to city hall and get the marriage license. It seems so ridiculous that you need a license to get married but I guess it prevents people from getting married because they a drunk.

The office closes at 4:00 and we got there at 3:12 to find out that (e:terry) needs his out of state birth certificate which is somehwere at home. I also had to stop at the county clerks office to get a Doing Business As cert for Surbert so that I can sell things outside of work. We managed to get through the court office and home by 3:42. We rushed through the house looking for the birth cert and finally found it in some desk upstairs. At that point it was 3:48 ans we raced our bikes down newly paved Deleware to City Hall. By the time we got to the 13th floor it was 3:57 but they took us in and we filled out the paperwork.

Then the question came. Which name do you want to use? I really wanted the kids to be viscos because there are no no visco named kids of my dads side of the family. I was so sad that (e:terry) wouldnt change his name but his name is already recognized for his business etc.. I almost switched to Mickelson but we ended up just keeping our names. Somehow I feel like I will regret that in the long run. At least he promised the kids could be viscos someday.

When we got there someone had taken up all the bike spots. Its like the car equivalent of parking across 3 spots. Assholes.

When I first met (e:terry) in 1998 I wore suspenders all the time. Express had a sale last week and they were on sale so I decided it was time to loop back. I wore them with all kinds of outfit combos from dressdown and formal and they just seem to work.

We hosted the bridal shower for a friend of a friend last night. It was a lovely event. The couple seemed so happy. We didn't have to plan anything, the food was brought to the house and their hired someone to clean it up. Perfect combo.

The food was so tasty. I especially loved these london broils stuffed with some sort of goat cheese and a pepper.

I was at Home Depot getting a new chiminea when we saw this sign. It seems like fear mongering to me. I havent even seen one here and as the sign says they only come out ever 17 years anyways.

I was quitely dusting blinds when I thought I saw someone move across the foyer. I knew (e:terry) was outside mowing the front lawn. The door was open, but he was right out there. I decided it was nothing and went back to dusting. Then I see someone pickup my laptop up off the the dining room table.

I confront the guy and he says his friend told him to pick it a laptop. He thought it was his friends house that looks just like this. Sure. there isn't even another house in buffalo that looks like this. So I tell him to get out and yell to (e:terry) who calls the police but the guy starts running. So I chase him to an abandoned lot between the "multicultural potential center" and a residential lot. He kept going into the field but I got weirded out being there by myself and called the police.

They arrived within two minutes but he had gotten away. I am so curious if he got anything else. Luckily, I had just cleaned out downstairs for a party a friend of ours is throwing here tonight, so I think there was nothing else to steal.

I wonder if he lives in the alley next to the dumpster. There were a lot of clothes and a shopping cart there.
