Also, it would appear that he's tagged so many cars over past few months that it amounts to 4 felonies. What an idiot!  ;D

Found a place to stay in Derbyshire next summer, and hold the ceremony, and host the reception all in one go. :) And they allow dogs and seem super cool. Just need to figure out how many of our friends/family would be interested in staying there. Yay!

Discovering a Supercuts salon in downtown Leeds yesterday. (Gone are the days of being able to afford Sassoon but at least I won't have to grow a long stringy braid!  ;D)

An hour ago there was a knock on the door and it was a courier. I hadn't ordered anything and DH didn't mention ordering anything, so I assumed they were seeing if I could sign for some for one of the neighbors. However, the man said it was for me. Turns out DH was sick of me whining about foods I missed, so he bought me a crap load of American goodies from American Soda. I'm definately having Tropical Fruit Skittles for dessert tonight!  [smiley=smitten.gif]

I wasn't really looking forward to my friend's wedding on Sunday but it turned out awesome. Aside from the absolutely silly amount of food they had (cocktail hour alone would have been more than enough food for everyone there! They had at least 10 different stations plus passed apps!) and the full bar that I indulged in way too much, they had a Springsteen cover band! It was so much fun, every wedding I go to should have it. I actually danced much of the night and I never dance at weddings. It was great. I'm sure the wedding cost an absolute fortune (I have an idea how much the band alone cost and it was more than some people spend on the entire wedding) but it was so worth it.

Springsteen cover band?! You should have taken me as your plus one!

Pandora is working at work!

Has Pandora started working in the UK now and I'm late to the party? 

I've not tried at home, because I use spotify there, but I can't download spotify at work so pandora is doing the trick.
