My wedding was small and delightful, but it might never have happened, since I came close to killing my husband shortly after we met.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I hadn't known Rob very long. We'd met when his Cupid's Arrow computer dating sheet matched mine and he tracked me down. (I'd moved twice since filling that sheet out.) I wanted to impress him with my cooking, so invited him over for an All-Shore dinner of Little Neck Steamers and lobster, topped off with my Pound-for-Poundcake special.<BR/><BR/>He'd taken a wine tasting course and showed up with a few bottles of white, all of which we downed while enjoying our feast. While playing backgammon, we both fell asleep. The cat pawing my face woke me. That’s when I noticed my date was no longer passed out beside me on the couch, but huddled and retching. I struggled to rouse myself from a drunken stupor while this guy I barely knew continued to toss every cookie he'd ever eaten.<BR/><BR/>The thought occurred to me that maybe I should run him over to the emergency room, but still half out of it, I couldn't find my car keys. With my date still crouched on the bathroom floor, the cat trying to push him out of the way so she could get to the litter box, and every pillow and piece of furniture upturned, I called an ambulance. Took an extra half hour to find my keys and follow. Seems Rob is allergic to iodine. Can't eat lobster. A small fun fact to know that he forgot to tell.<BR/><BR/>Fortunately, I didn't kill him. I married him, instead. Lobster for one is a lot cheaper, anyway.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Congrats on your new book. I'm off to the bookstore to snag a copy before it sells out!Robin Haseltinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07300418798565748969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-69659668402534786712008-05-27T13:03:00.000-05:002008-05-27T13:03:00.000-05:00Happy Release Day to you!

I was nervous, but not cold feet, I was afraid I'd trip on my heels and fall and that big cinderella skirt would go flying over my head and I'd be lost in a mass of silk, pearls, and everything else that made up that gown.

The word "gunshy" is an understatement.<BR/><BR/>I have a little story. During my wedding, a bee decided to invade the space between the groom and me and the priest. At which moment the priest decided to kill said bee with the prayer book. Yep, squashed the thing right there on the top of the kneeler thingy. <BR/><BR/>A friend of mine said it was my grandmother trying to let me know she was there. Which makes me feel terrible that she got squashed. But even more terrible that she got squashed before she could sting the groom.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on release day! I'll do my best to pick this one up by the end of the week. I'd order but I hate to pay shipping. I'm too cheap. *g*Terri Osburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176989488447450585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-56432808929333516972008-05-27T09:17:00.000-05:002008-05-27T09:17:00.000-05:00That was so incredibly sweet!
