I received my first Flickr comment today. I was asked to add this photo to a group. The group being, Methuen MA. I feel so slick. Of course I’d feel slicker if it were taken with a real camera and not my iPhone… but still, I feel slick.

If The Beatles song “Eight Days a Week” was calenderily accurate (I made up a new word babie! Dig me!) we would have one week to go.

Eight days. I can count it on my fingers without using my thumbs. So. Close.

Mary the Maid of Honor emailed a link to me and Jen today. Click this link here and scroll down to May 30th. Mother Nature appears to be rooting for us. Thanks!

Last night we started the long and involved process of sorting out clothes to take on the honeymoon. In other words, a laundry blitz is underway in our house.

We have another busy weekend ahead of us but we have scheduled Sunday as the Wedding Stuff Only Day. We will design and print the programs. We will scan in a ton of old pictures of us and load them onto digital picture frames so we can let everyone see how dorky we looked as kids. (There are mullet pictures in the pile. Be Afraid.) We will write out the seating arrangements and the place cards for the reception. We will Pack! All of that will get done on Sunday.

Saturday is a busy one, but mostly a fun time kind of busy. First there is T-Ball in the morning, which is a great way to kick off the weekend. Then we are taking the kids to see Star Trek. Their father might be joining us. It will be geek overload take two. I can’t wait. After the movie Jen and I are going to go out to dinner with Mike and Tammy. A grown up, kid free kind of evening. Should be a lot of fun.

Monday is Memorial Day so we will be going to the obligatory cook out at my parent’s house. We’ll hang with the family and gush over the babies as usual. My nephew has been sick for a few days. I’m hoping he’s better by then so he can come.

Tonight Jen has a hair appointment so my mother will be watching the kids for about an hour until I can get to her house to pick them up. All in all another crazy weekend, but today is the last Friday before the vacation/wedding/honeymoon kicks off next week.

I can’t wait.

I installed a Flickr uploader app onto my phone and took a bunch of evening commute pictures yesterday. I mussed ’em all up in CameraBag and uploaded them. Now I am going to force them on… I mean share them with you.

Traffic in Walden Woods could be described in only one way: Suck

Walden Woods: We don’t need no stinking public access. (the entrance to the park is just a short walk away)

I am a big fan of Concord Center. It’s just a nice quaint little New England scene.

What is it about this building that I like? Pillars maybe? The name “Footstock” maybe?

One more, leaving the center. I tried to get some of the church and the cemetery near the rotary, but the traffic was too tricky to aim the camera. I’ll get a good shot from the car someday.

Apparently the Tour de Freakin’ France was run on Liberty Street on Concord yesterday. Complete with fucktards riding in triple file. I took this while passing them. I was in the left lane. The one asshole you can see who is right on the yellow line was actually in the left lane too. I should have run his stupid dumb ass over. I have no problem with biking, but if I have to share the road with you then you have to share it with me. If I have to drive single file then you have to ride your bicycle single file. I don’t claim to own the road, but you sure as hell don’t own it either.

Monument Street, looking left.

Monument Sreet, looking right.

And finally, my favorite of the whole batch. Jen and I went out to eat at the 99 in Salem, NH last night and I snapped this. My sweetie in monochrome.

That’s it for now. Eight days to go.

Can’t wait!

Yesterday was not a good day.

Today I got to drive the kids to school so Jen could get some extra sleep after working late last night. I feel so much better it’s just plain silly.

Nine days left until the wedding. I can count the days on my fingers and have fingers left over. Yeah, that means it’s close… but it still seems so far away.

Still a lot to do, but we’re getting there.

I can’t wait.

Okay, one more… again… but this time I mean it.

Of all the pictures I’ve taken since buying my groovy camera, this is the best one. It’s also my favorite of all that don’t include Jen or the kids.

Okay, so one more before I go to bed.

This is my town. I love my town.

Jen is on call tonight. She’s sitting next to me working hard and being an awesome programmer and if I had brain cell one in my head I would model my own job performance after hers.

I just want to stay up and offer some moral support to my sick sweetie. She’s not feeling well and has had a rough couple of days.

So I am doing what I often do these days. Messing with Flickr. My 200 most viewed images to be precise.

I love the sky in this one. We were just minutes away from getting stuck in England in a horrendous torrential downpour.

I had to run to Canada to buy a flag. They were out. I got SOAKED.

I am going to bed now. I love you Jenny.

If, when we go back to Woodstock, VT on stop one of the Awesome Adventure World Traveling Honeymoon Experience, this place is still available… I say we go for it.

10 days left. I can’t wait.

This photo was taken at the site of one of the many stops on our World Traveling Honeymoon Adventure.

Can’t wait to go back.

One year ago today Jen and I were in the back yard and I did something I’d never done before and will never do again. I popped the question. I got down on my knee and asked her to marry me and when she said yes I put a diamond ring on her finger.

Best thing I’ve done in my entire life so far.

A very long and successful engagement, if I do say so myself. It all ends in 10 days though. 10 days from now Jen and I get married. Then that will be the new best thing I’ve done in my life.

Last night we finished the favors. Now we have to do the place cards for the seating, the programs, something else that I’m forgetting (am I?), wrap some gifts, and pack pack pack.

10 days isn’t really a long time, but it seems like an eternity. Hurry up calendar!

Happy Proposalversary Jenny.

Today is Tuesday. There are 11 days left until the wedding. 10 days left until the vacation which encompasses the wedding and the honeymoon.

Jen called in sick again today. She’s stuffy and achy and not feeling well. She also just got called into a meeting. Huh? What does “out sick” really mean then?

I’m not sick, but I’m probably on my way. (he said whilst popping a vitamin C drop into his gaping maw) I am still really tired. We went to bed a little after 9:00pm last night and I slept well until around 5:00am. That should charge my batteries well enough, but I am still tired and sore, and my nose is beginning to feel a little stuffy.

I just found out my annual review is tomorrow. Kill me now, get it over with. It’s going to be painful. Really painful.

Today is going to suck. Tomorrow is going to suck worse.

Crud.
