Whomever made this seating chart ****** up. We're all separated. My sister is at a table with our cousin, his girlfriend, and 8 others she doesn't know. Then same cousin's sister is at a different table, and their parents are at another.

Mom and I, dad's sick, are at a table with 6 of the groom's mom's friends.

That you aren’t getting drunk and hitting on your relatives.

It's so you get to meet new people and mingle :). Any cuties to meet?

Rudolph on CBS tonight. Wonder how many times this year it will be aired. I do love Burl Ives’ voice.

I've seen it twice so far.

Usually AMC shows all the ones that followed that get trippier.

How many of us retire before we WANT to? Not a swipe at you KC, just a general thought. I would now but kinda need to pay bills while kids are my responsibility.

Guess my sister did but that was necessary due to cancer. Outside of those health situations, seems we hang on longer than we care to.
I think you read that backwards. I meant he probably woudn't mind retiring before his "target date".

I didn't see any dig at me. :)
Lew and I planned to retire at 65. We were financially okay to retire early, but wanted to wait until medicare kicked in. However, his health and my boss provided the impetus for us to jump the gun.

So even the 'so who do you know here?' conversation is too complicated to even really bother starting.

Stupid Vikings and their Thursday game is messing up my Sunday workout schedule. Noon or so on Sunday is usually a great not many peeps in the gymski time. No Vikes today is messing with that. Also dat ISU game.

Must ponder more over coffee. Drinking the last of the now defunct McGarvey's coffee that I've been buying for like forever (rotating between their Columbian and Hawaiian Kona).

My cousin apologized for the seating chart. My sister had to listen to a 10 minute conversation about glow plugs during dinner, and the rest of the conversation was about diesel trucks.

I had a steak. I ate it in 4 bites. It came with 3 very small red potatoes cut in half, 4 string beans, and about 10 thin slices of carrots. Better than the alfredo with canned chicken I had at the last wedding though.

All the bridesmaids were taken and didn't see anyone else. There were way too many kids there and they took up most of the dance floor and it was mainly my family out there.

It was the first time in a very, very long time that we were all together though, Arizona and Iowa family included.

Sweet baby Jesus. My 2 yr old wasn't happy because I was trying to talk to his mom and he couldn't hear the TV.

He turned to look at me and then accused me of trying to his his mother!

WTF? I knew I'd need a bail fund but I didn't think it would be for me!

Steak at a wedding? That had to cost a chunk.

Anybody have an iced coffee maker. Kinda getting into it some. Two things hold me back from buying them. 1) cost. They are like energy drinks speedy 2) calories. Need to get back to weight descension plan and they have huge calories if not sugar free and/or black coffee.

If I make my own I can control both, but I don’t want a crap tasting thing.

Is the Hyundai Hybrid commercial supposed to make me like the "free squeegie" guy???? I mean, he is very punchable. Total doucher. Pay for stuff and tip generously and don't be a douche.
Thinking the same thing. You don’t go into a grocery store and take their cart to move stuff to your neighbors house.
