THOUGHTS ON MY LAST DAY OF BACHELORHOOD
1. I do agree that being engaged is one of the best times of your life. Just think, I've been single for 26 years and I'll probably be married for about 50-60 (assuming we both live an average life expectancy). But we'll only be engaged 9 months. This has definitely been a time that I have tried to cherish and enjoy ... although it has been stressful! But it was nice to be able to share this time with so many other people: Sandra and Gabe, Steven and Liz, Jacob and Victoria, Melanie and Bob, Gary and Regina, etc.

2. Funny story: As some of you may have seen, my guestbook was "vandalized" like Jason's yesterday. Only mine immediately led you to a porn site that you couldn't close. Too bad I had no control over this and didn't even know about it ... until I sat down AT WORK to open my guestbook. So, there I am, on the last day at work before getting married, and a porn site pops up. Everybody came up to me and said, "What are you looking at?" I was so embarrassed, sweaty, and nervous. I tried to explain, but they just started giving me a hard time, saying, "And you expect to get married in two days?" I have since fixed the problem, but I still feel terrible about the whole thing.

3. Tonight's rehearsal dinner is at Buca Di Beppo in Old Towne. The last time I was there was to celebrate my birthday. But more importantly, this was the day the Lakers beat the Trail Blazers in Game 7 with that Kobe to Shaq alley-oop in 2000 ... after being down by 15! That was such a great day. We acted like we were drunk, and all we had was water. I was hoping for a repeat performance in emotion tonight, but the Lakers had to go spoil it all by playing TERRIBLY and losing last night. I don't know why I subject myself to this type of torture every year, but I'm saying it again: The Lakers are done. Yes, they are my boys. But a team that puts on a lousy performance like that does NOT have the heart of a champion. But still, I will cheer for them, live and die with them, and get nasty guestbook entries from Simon, Aaron, and Luong. The last thing is, I've been asking myself, "Why did we schedule our wedding and honeymoon during the NBA playoffs? How dumb are we?"

4. We also scheduled our wedding and honeymoon during May TV sweeps. That means, we will have two to three VCRs going to tape all our favorite shows. I think we're recording close to 12 hours of TV so I had to be a little selective on what I was recording. Good thing we'll be back in time to watch the 90210 reunion show!

5. All of our "vendors" for the wedding are a little weird. And I mean that in a good way. They either have way too much energy, talk a lot, find the strangest things cool, etc. Anyway, but I don't think we'd have it any other way.

6. After hanging out with some of Karena's family last night, I really do feel a part of the family now.

7. I hope the wedding gets mentioned in the CEFC bulletin. And if so, I hope somebody saves one for us! I always thought that would be exciting.

8. I have the best parents.

9. I have the best friends.

10 Sorry this is so long. I've been thinking a lot.
