Is there a way to tell a stranger that they have...
This was the thought I was trying to work out, as I was getting my hair rinsed at the salon by a new hair-dresser. It’s rather strange, isn’t it, when you get your hair washed at the salon? Washing your own hair is something civilized, independent human-beings do, and it stands as a symbol of thus. And yet there you are, reclined back in an uncomfortable chair, as a relative...

Me: (thinking) I really should start going to the other gas station across the street.

Things that made that wedding awesome:
A ceremony that was both modern yet traditional, and beautiful yet brief.
Jason Mraz and Jack Johnson songs during the ceremony.
I danced on the same floor that Henry Ford once danced on.
My hair was great, and so was my mom’s. (I did both)
Open bar with amazing wine.
The main courses were vegan/vegetarian, and the cake was vegan.
The bride and groom arranged for there to be free...

There is a big family wedding coming up
And it’s going to be awesome, and beautiful, and I might cry, and everyone is super excited and happy for it.
But I hate what weddings do to single ladies. Here I am, walking along, fairly content in my single life, when a Wedding starts creeping up. At first I’m all like, “Hey Wedding! I LOVE weddings! This is going to be great!”
