Too tired to do the full report tonight, but just thought I'd post a quick message to say that Erika & Paul's wedding totally rocked¹. Great venue², great vows written by the bride & groom, great speeches, great party and the best first dance I've ever seen at a wedding. I mean, how many of you can say you've seen Thriller incorporated into a first dance?

Other exciting news from yesterday: Linda's sister Gloria straightened my hair with her flat iron and it looked so wicked good. I totally need a flat iron! And props to Linda who came over to my house to kill a friggin' wolf spider³ that was crawling through my kitchen cupboard. I'm pretty sure that fact that I screamed like I was being murdered while on the phone with her when I saw it alerted her to the seriousness of predicament.

OK, it's lights out for little Bethy right now, as it is a school night and I'm up way past my bedtime. Will report more soon. But for now: Congrats Erika & Paul!

¹notwithstanding the part where we waited for over 2 hours for a friggin' cab to come and pick us up and take us to our hotel afterwards.

²including piglets!

³ I would link to "wolf spider" on Wikipedia here, to show you just how effing big and effing disgusting these mofos are, but that would risk me actually seeing a picture of one and I'm already going to have a hard enough time getting to sleep just knowing that there was one in my kitchen yesterday. *shudder*
