it's been quite the weekend. last night i attended the BEAUTIFUL wedding of Tom and Teigen as mr. jamie's date ... it was fun and i had the chance to see a lot of people whom i had not seen since high school. the wedding was sooo incredible. perfectly imperfect for them :)
in addition, my family has joined the ranks of the recently bereaved. it is with both sadness and also some relief that we are mourning the loss of my wonderful and beautiful aunt. she was diagnosed with lung cancer in november, which rapidly spread to much of her body. she fought valiantly for many months and passed away last night. *sigh* it's very, very sad.
if anyone wishes to sponsor me or join me at the relay for life in hanover on sept 21, please let me know. i'm starting up a team in her memory.
i will post the link to our team as soon as i've got us registered.

Quoted ...
Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile. -- Mother Teresa
Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it'd be easy, they just promised it would be worth it. --Unknown
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”
Jack Kerouac
"Take wrong turns. Talk to strangers. Open unmarked doors. And if you see a group of people in a field, go find out what they're doing. Do things without always knowing how they'll turn out. You're curious and smart and bored, and all you see is the choice between working hard and slacking off. There are so many adventures you miss because you're waiting to think of a plan. To find them, look for tiny interesting choices. And remember that you are always making up the future as you go." - http://xkcd.com/267/

something i love ...
my favourite part about eating spaghetti at home is dipping that little bit of leftover noodles into that little bit of leftover sauce - and eating it with my fingers!
