library mom: systematically cataloging all aspects of raising two babies at the same time

Rock City

I am in Detroit. Looking at the General Motors HQ and the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel. Hey, that's Canada! Hi Canadians.

I came in for business and will leave for pleasure. How smutty does that sound?

Translated: I visited some customers and am staying for a wedding. The wedding of the second boy I ever kissed! Ha! We made out after his junior prom. Now I am really laughing; it is so funny to see that written out.

He is also in my Top 3 Friends I Have Known The Longest -- 17 years. That feels like a more appropriate thing to focus on in light of tomorrow's pending nuptials.

And marrying a fantastic woman, finally. Isn't it great when you see your friends with the right person? When you meet them as a couple and see how all the pieces fit and compliment each other? I am getting teary just thinking about how lucky they are.

We went to the same college too so I imagine tomorrow might feel like one big reunion. I hope that is a good thing.

And Lisher is coming in on an early flight so his Detroit party starts at 8 am. This is our first night away together alone since the ladies were born. 14 months. I feel drunk just thinking about it!

This is my dress. This is the word I just looked up to make sure the spelling was right.
