Hello everyone!

I am married now! One month and one day ago Ryan and I got married. It went beautifully. We were married outside, and the weather was very sunny, even after it was threatening to rain for five days. The theme was red roses, so that looked great, and the whole thing was at an old ski lodge that’s been turned into a banquet hall. Here are some pictures of us looking super-happy:

And here is the cake, it was delicious and I was mildly obsessed over getting the design a certain way. I even made stencils of roses and swirls for the baker to put on the icing in the black. I recommend red velvet as a flavour of cake for everyone to try, but don’t get the red velvet cupcakes at Starbucks, they are disappointing. Which is weird because I usually love Starbucks. Anyway:

For our honeymoon, we went to Sandals, Montego Bay in Jamaica. We were naively hoping to get some perks since it was our honeymoon. But it was practically everyone’s honeymoon at the resort. It was a big party of everyone that had gotten married on Saturday. So, June in Jamaica has a definite “honeymoon” vibe. So, watch out…We had a great time. Aside from spending the majority of our time at the pool bar, we also got out of the resort to go and swim with a dolphin at Dolphin Cove. While we were there, they also let us pet a shark and a stingray.

Well, hopefully you guys will enjoy an increase in the number of gloomies I get posted now that I’m not doing wedding-related art and crafts all the time. It is the summer though, and I plan on going to my cottage this weekend. Other weekends too… so I’ll try and be funny as often as I can. Oh, and if you’ve been on the edge of your seats, my gum surgery seems to have gone just fine.

Stay cool,
Suzanne

So, today I’m getting a gum graft. That’s a type of dental surgery, where they take a patch of my gums from a place in my mouth where I’m not using it. Then they paste it over the exposed root of my tooth. I’m pretty sure I have this receded gum line in the first place because of a dental appliance I was wearing to expand my palate. This surgery is going to create a big raw patch on the roof of my mouth where they ‘borrow’ the fresh skin. It’s going to be like, the biggest canker sore ever, so I’m looking forward to that. I’m kinda nervous because sometimes these transfers don’t take hold, and I might have to do it again. Which would suck, and be even more expensive.

I had my wisdom teeth out about four years ago, and bounced back after a few days. I don’t remember being this nervous, though. I guess when you get your wisdom teeth out, it’s for good. They don’t tell you that you might have to come back in a year and get them taken out again if the first removal didn’t ‘take’.

Anyway, I’m going to work today, then busing over to get this thing done in the afternoon. They said I should be able to go back to work at my sedentary job on Monday, so this whole thing shouldn’t be too big of a deal. And it’s a good excuse to eat pudding for meals.

In case anyone was wondering how I liked Avatar, I liked it a lot. Much like the vast majority of the internet I thought it was visually stunning. And like a slightly smaller majority of the internet, I enjoyed the plot line. It was a timeless story, which is another way of saying, it wasn’t an original story, but it was still very well told. I thought this interpretation (read “mixture of elements” or “window dressing”) was unique, so I enjoyed that. And that’s pretty much my two cents about that.

Okay, I better go brush my teeth and head off to work, wish me luck with my gum surgery thing!
