Boobalicious (adjective): Me in the dress I wore for my cousin's wedding. I'd sewed the neckline a bit so that it would stay closed, but the thread came undone. I'll have to fix it before Laura's wedding this weekend. I felt very ... um... on display.
Adorable (adj.): My niece! So much cuter than my cousins' babies. :) I think this would be true even if I weren't biased.
Not as bad as I'd expected: Sharing a bedroom with grandma, explaining to mom & aunts why going up for the boquet toss is just public humilitation when you're 32, sitting through an entire weekend with people I barely know, complaining to my brother "why do they get to have sex and people give them presents?".
I got to spend a lot of time with my brother, his wife, & the baby. That was delightful. Less one-on-one time with my parents, but then I don't really know what we'd talk about anyway. I managed to bite my tongue and not snap at grandma when I wanted to. The asparagus on the buffet was delicious. At the reception, I got to talk with my uncle about home projects for several hours, which was very interesting. I've never really gotten to know him, but I think he may now be one of my favorite relatives.
And - surprise of all surprises, match boy emailed me after a week of silence to apologize for not managing to connect last weekend and ask if I would still like to get together.

I'm so glad to hear that you were able to enjoy the weekend and come home to a date! I thought about you all weekend, and you were missed!
