* friday i locked in my mortgage refinance rate. i am so, so excited. i'm changing my current 30-year 80/20 into a 15-year fixed at a muuuch lower rate... the amount of extra money going back into my pocket will be insane. literally, for only $200/month more in payments, i'll get 10x the equity each year. wow.

* went to a lovely wedding yesterday evening. B and A got married at the yuengling mansion (yes, as in the beer)... they had a sweet and simple ceremony out in the yard, and then the reception under a tent. everything was decorated in pink and orange, which was totally summery and preppy and fun. the weather was gorgeous for the whole thing, the music was a fun mix from B's iPod (they had asked everyone to submit a song request with their RSVP), and the food was really good... especially the giant glass vats of summery self-serve drinks. (i had 4 passionfruit mojitos before dinner even started. YUM.)

* i was going to spend a chunk fo today finishing the mulching of my big side flowerbed... unfortunately the colony of bees doing their thing out there had other ideas. so did my back, which asked me as i was wheeling the decond cartload of mulch up a hill, "exactly HOW much does this thing weigh?..." yeah, it hink i'll give it a rest until sundown. plenty of other chores around this filthy house to keep me occupied.
