hello there ~ my head is still spinning a bit, but yup, i got back last night. it was excellent and exciting and i loved it, though at the very end of it, i got a bit down by some drama. right now though, i’m feeling plain old overwhelmed with all the stuff i have to catch up on.

i’m taking a ton of pictures but haven’t figured out how to get them online yet. to sum up: the wedding was yesterday and was perfect. the bride was beautiful, the groom impatient, the church intimate, the priest friendly, and my dress, well, just too cute. i was relieved to discover that not only is white perfectly acceptable at italian weddings, especially if there’s other color mixed in, but that there were a few other women also in largely-white outfits. surprisingly, most of the other women were dressed in black, entirely in black. hm. so now we know, at italian weddings, at least at sicilian weddings, black and white are fine.

hello there—i’m in milano right now waiting for my flight to palermo… i’m typing on this weird keyboard that’s literally jus plastic with little key-squares printed on it, very unsatisying to type on besides being really hard to get legible words out on…. but no complaints here, i’m in friggin’ italy!

my website and email and life is back up. seriously, deprived since friday—which feels like so long ago—of no email or website was driving me nutso. it was a little scary in fact how much a difference it made to not have these things… !
