I don't care about expensive things
Feb. 3rd, 2012 05:19 pmAh, Chicago. I have to spend the night in Chicago, on my way to California next month. I'm not looking forward to that bit, not at all - but as I said to K, a man's journey into exile should be a little difficult, a little lonely, a little frightening. You're not doing it rightly, else. So.
After that, of course, everything gets better.
In April, we get married. We've got a wedding-present list and everything. I found that weirdly hard, for someone who likes shopping as much as I do - choosing what other people should buy for us is apparently against my nature; that's almost reassuring, in a way - but we struggled through, and the list exists at Bed, Bath and Beyond, for those of you who have in fact been asking. (If you lose that link and have to find the list from their home page, it's easier to search for my name than for Karen's. For probably obvious reasons.)
In other news, I dreamed that I introduced Karen to the Queen. And then spoke to Her Majesty about the fact that my mum's older than she is. Given that I did in fact introduce K to my mum a few weeks back, this probably says something significant about intrafamilial relationships.
