Headache

somedays I wish I had never bothered to get up. Today is one of them. I have had a splitting headache now for 4 hours and work is not making it any better...

Let's just skip the wedding and move on to the honeymoon

Laura's wedding

So just a preview of all the fun you will experience at a Clarke sister's wedding:


everybody's doin a brand new dance now....


she's a brick house....


you make me wanna shout (kick my heals up)


m-y-a-c (ymca, but man you wouldn't know it from this pic)


Now I must say that any and probably all of these scenes will happen at my wedding because, well, my family is just like that. Especially when they have all had a few drinks.

You have been forwarned.

happy birthday p-man

yup he is older than I am.

anyway we got 5 yes count them f-i-v-e responses today and not a single one from frank, rj, or neil. (not to mention that neither of bills groomsmen have rsvped) however 2 of my three aunts (the two that both have kids in the wedding) finally responded. the one from erin had a picture on the back (drawn by morgan i am assuming) of a bride and a groom (in tails). if this was an accurate portrayal of me my arms are as long as my head is wide, i have a very thick neck no shoulders no boobs, and i am hopefully wearing a large hoopskirt because it would be quite impossible to have hips that large. anyway it is a very cute picture for a 6 year old.

in other news i have found a neat website (that doesn't seem to be a scam) cool site.

ok talk to you later

-no posts this weekend at home... dress fitting, buy mary's dress, hair appointment, breakfast with dad and giddo, oh yeah and a wedding.

wedding stats

meeting a real economist today has me thinking in numbers (like i don't do that already.)

Invites sent out: 104
Response cards returned: 37
% returned: 35.5769%
# of people attending (so far) including selves and priest: 50
number of people expected:150

Breakdown by relationship of % attending (so-far). This is skewed because almost 95% of my family is expected where as about 30% of Bill's is expected.

Sarah's family: 27 out of 79 invited (34.18%)
Note: all three of my aunts have not responded at this point even though 2 of the three have children in the wedding.

Sarah's family friends (friends of mom etc): 5 out of 29 (17.24%)
Note: i don't expect quick response from these people and if i don't receive response i won't be the one calling them.

Sarah's and Bill's friends: 11 out of 48 (22.92%)
Note: neither of Bill's attendants have currently responded as to if they will be in attendance at the wedding.

Bill's Family: 6 out of 29 (12.24%)
Note we weren't expecting too many of Bill's family to make the trek, but whomever can make it is great.

So that's it the count down is slowly approaching 30 which will really freak me out, but I have a lot to do between now and then.

good night.
