Sleepless in South Jersey (or, “Wedding Weekend: Part The First”)

STRATFORD, NJ, USA

8:20 am.  Ugh.

I most certainly wasn’t planning on being up yet, but since I am, I might as well post.

Dan’s wedding weekend has been pretty fun so far.  Thursday night was his bachelor party.  I met up with him and his friends after a Phillies game, and we just hung out for most of the night.  Does being tame make us losers?  Haha, but it was a fun time.   :)

Last night was the wedding rehearsal and dinner, which went well.  Although I think I may have made a fool out of myself at one point by not knowing the name of what I was reading.
(For the record, I am reading the “intercession.”  I am so not a Catholic, so I didn’t know.  I laughed it off, though, so no worries.)

(Some friends and I–groom in yellow–at the rehearsal dinner.  The dinner was at an interesting restaurant called “The Arsenal” in old New Castle, Delaware.  Apparently the building was once an actual arsenal that was built in the run-up to the War of 1812.  I had never been to Old New Castle before, but it has a nice, historic revolutionary-era district.)

My grandmom was up until about 1:30 am last night.  I stayed up for an hour past that enjoying the peace and quiet, like I normally do.  Unfortunately, my grandmom was up bright and early this morning at 6:30am.  She has been in and out of her bed seven times in the last 2 hours.  Two hours when I REALLY wanted to be sleeping.

I think she may have just dozed back off.   (FINALLY!)  I’m going to try to go back to bed now, too.  Although I think I may be too damn frustrated, angry, and just generally fed up to go back to sleep.  I’m in a terrible mood.

Here’s hoping 4 hours of sleep will get me through Dan’s big day. Or at least through two verses of intercession reading.
