A Trip, A Marriage and a "Little Bastard."

Jason and I took my boys to Indianapolis for Christmas so that they could meet the family, most importantly, his sons. Luckily for us, all 4 of the boys got along pretty well and the trip there and back wasn't as bad as it could have been. Yeah - we had to stop on the way there to buy Devon socks/new shoes to get rid of the stinky feet odor and CJ got sick in the truck 100 miles from home but - hey, at least we didn't kill each other, huh??

Thursday, December 29 at 3:00 - Jason and I got married at the Chatham County Courthouse. The only other person that was there besides the Judge was my boss - who helped get the Judge for us on such short notice. Even though it wasn't a big wedding, I still followed the bride tradition "something old & blue - Jason's class ring with my birthstone and the rebel flag under the stone, something new - black hills gold heart necklace his mom gave me for Christmas, something borrowed - a green plastic army man from Bryce tied to a strand of antique pearls around my wrist. Oh, and I wore an off white sheath with matching jacket .... we have a picture of us taken right after the wedding but it's on the disposable camera that I haven't had time to develop yet ....

We spent New Year's Eve with Jessica and Rheannon and "her date" for the weekend. I'd call him a loser but unfortunately for him - he doesn't even have the qualities needed to be classified in the same group as the rest of us "Losers" so we'll just leave it at that .... but shopping, fireworks on River Street, drunk dialing and just hanging out with Jessica and my new husband made it a very cool weekend ...

Monday after Jessica left - me and CJ took Jason's ring to get resized and to have mine soldered together. Of course, a trip to the mall meant buying an outfit to wear on the plane and getting my hair cut .. good thing Jason loves me and didn't throw too much of a fit when he finally saw my haircut ...

Then, after the mall it was a trip to Petsmart to buy Hermit Crab shells/supplies and to look at lizards ... we get home and I call Jason to tell him about this really cool gecco I saw and he said it sounded neat and we'd have to get it when we got back ....

Yeah - so ya'll that know me know that him saying that meant another trip in the rain to Petsmart to buy the gecco and all it's shit ... the cage, the plants, the rock hiding place, the bedding, the water bowl, the heatlight, the crickets, the crickets food, the crickets cage, the mister ... oh yeah, and the gecco.

Jason named his Crocodile Gecco "Little Bastard." It's a pretty cool looking thing for a reptile. Jason really wanted a baby alligator and even though he already had a taxidermied one, he wanted one that breathed (GEESH! picky picky, lol) so, I compromised and got him a gecco instead. Turns out, his gecco is the "bad ass" of geccos that does not play well with others and doesn't share his dwelling unless it's with a female ... Oh well - just wait until the boys start talking about him - that's gonna be fun, won't it? "Jason/Dad got "Little Bastard" but all he does is eat crickets and sleep and won't let us touch him."

My office move was yesterday and it was full of the "everything going wrong that can go wrong" bullshit. We were supposed to move on Saturday but promised it'd be ready to move on Tuesday. The movers were going to meet us at 11am. The phones would be on and the computers reconfigured by end of business. HA HA! How about we finally meet the movers at the old office at 445 and then take the stuff and sit it in other offices in the building/in the middle of the floor so that the PAINTERS can work around it? Still no phones which means computers still can't be configured until today!

But the good news is I have just today left and then, tomorrow morning I fly out to Nassau. I'll be there until next week with my new husband and his company ....

Oh and Jessica - thanks for mentioning the porn star name - it's sticking nicely thanks, lol!

So that's about it for the moment. I'm off to shower and head to the office then back home tonight to pack, clean and sleep until time to leave .... hope ya'll have been doing well .... I'll post pictures soon ....
