Yesterday I drove to Berkeley and met up with some wedding vendors that I'm thrilled to be working with. One was a wedding cake maker, La Farine in Oakland---FINALLY found someone with amazing-tasting cake, competitive prices, and is available. It's going to be a combination of coffee/kahlua cake and a dark-chocolate ganache cake. I'm so excited! I brought home some cake from the tasting yesterday and I'm waiting for the right moment to devour it.

Yesterday Neko and I were leaving the Lincoln Center and there was this huge column of smoke coming from a building behind the old honey-baked hams, and there were like a million firetrucks and traffic was all backed up like crazy. And there's not one mention of it in the paper. So I have no idea what caught on fire. Neko thinks it was the Cameo cards (old naughty nick's) place. Oh well.

Don't really have any plans for Halloween. Maybe I'll make caramel apples.

I just crunched the numbers (although it feels like the numbers are crunching me) and we've got everything we need for the wedding and it's under budget! Hooray! Well, everything except our wedding bands which we aren't including in the budget because our rings are a gift to one another. But all the vendors and rentals all that are taken care of. Just a few more deposits to come up with, and all that's left to do is mail the invitations and wait to get married!

I made caramel apples today and they were amazing and I ate 2 and now I feel positively ill. Blergh.

I have a big, fat quiz on Monday. It would behoove me to study.
