2:00 AM - 3:15 AM, Wednesday October 29, 2003.

I woke up at around 2 AM this morning. I couldn't go back to sleep. I think it was wedding anxiety again. I had dreamed that there were only 4 months left until the wedding. I woke up and started counting the months on my fingers to see if this was true.

1. November
2. December
3. March
4. April

!!!!!!

Was it true? I certainly thought so. Suddenly I becamed panicked. I have so much to do! My maid of honor needs a dress, I still have to make invitations, we need a cake and photographer. And what about decorations for the hall?!!! Flowers...chafing dishes. I have so much to do. I started to figure out a rough savings plan. On top of that I was intensely contemplating the purchase of another Burberry scarf I found on line for $55. Which I shouldn't be doing, but want to so very badly. The price is half off! Then, at about 3:00 AM, after mentally playing out the next 4 months of planning for our wedding with and without the Burberry scarf, I realized I had miscounted months. I actually have 6 months to do all of this. It took me about 15 minutes to finally relax and get back to sleep.

I lost on Jeopardy, baby.

I tried out for Jeopardy and didn't make it.

Camille, Dani and I showed up to the Sunrise mall at about 1PM. Oh, Sunrise mall. I remember you. Every Saturday morning, getting dropped off by mom with Tiffany and Christina. I stretched $20 dollars so far. Taco Bell, candy, koosh ball, a cassingle from Musicland. So at any rate, here we are at Sunrise mall, standing in line to try out for Jeopardy. The wait made me anxious. What if I got up there and they disqualified me for not finishing college? I had to take the chance. Alex Trebec made a goodwill appearance and shook hands, kissed the babies in line. I snapped a photo. We met a neeerrrd behind us. Nice enough, he told us that he was considered by some as an amature biblical scholar. Then he told me that I looked like Jeanine Garafalo. I've heard that before. So we get up and take the test. It was hard.

Here are some questions that I remembered:

In 1496, Juan The Handsome married some chick and they had a daughter who became what queen?

Who published Stewart Little in 1960?

This Thai city is considered the Venice of the far East.

What is the melting point of ice? This one I think I got. Is it 1 degree C?

And some other stuff that was just too hard.


I couldn't finish the test, nor could my companions. So we quelched the fires of defeat with strong consumer sentiment. We went shopping.

I lost on Jeopardy baby.

What the crap?

I'm taking a moment for some whiney whining. About the weather.

Now, I am fully aware of where I live and I never waste an
opportunity to mention I was born here. I was born here and so I
should be used to warm temperatures, but for crap's sake! I just
read the 10 day forcast at weather.com and I feel like doing a
raindance on the west steps of the capitol to protest the weather
we're having.

10/26 - 92F
10/27 - 96F!!!
10/28 - 95F
10/29 - 91F
10/30 - 87F
10/31 - 88F

That's it. I'm moving to Alaska to work on the crab ships or
something. Good riddence heat! I'll be shivering in my golashes
soon enough while you guys are splashing around in the American River
during CHRISTMAS!
