I thought it was a little odd that G and I were invited to a distant cousin's wedding on my mom's invitation, but I figured that they didn't know our address and just decided to combine us on my mom's invite. Wrong. I just found out today that my cousin and her husband, who have been married for 19 years, were not sent an invitation, but instead, included on her parent's invitation. Another cousin of mine, who has been married his wife for five years was invited on him mom's invitation as well. After living and breathing wedding etiquette for six months before my own wedding, I know this is definitely not the correct way to invite people. Now I am a bit scared about attending the wedding if they have already cheaped out on the invitations.
I guess I need to buy a dress also, because I have worn most of my dresses in front of my family and it is a faux pas to wear the same dress twice. I hate wearing dresses because they make me feel fat and frumpy. Argh! Maybe dress shopping will help motivate me back onto my treadmill.

Random updates
My nose looks horrible today! I think yesterday's Giants game was the hottest day of the year in San Francisco and my face is definitely showing it this morning. I think I need to invest in better sunscreen next time I am out in the sun for a long period of time. I'm slathered in aloe vera and kind of concealed by my makeup. At least it was a good game and the Giants won, of course :)
Last night I finally gave my much dreaded presentation about state bar trust accounts and pleadings class is now officially over (hurray!). I am going to try and enjoy my two weeks off from school before Fall semester begins. I am so happy that I now have my core classes done with and I can focus on my electives, which are less intense and perhaps a bit more fun.
I found out yesterday that G and I are going to be an uncle and auntie. It feels so weird to be adding those titles to our names and makes me feel old. At least I'm not becoming an auntie by my brother! My SIL's pregnancy is in the really early stages, so I have my fingers crossed for her to have a healthy first trimester and beyond. I'm excited for them and relieved to have the pressure taken off of us from G's family for a while. I still think that I am too young to be having babies and I love my wine and beer too much to give them up yet. I was telling G that the kitties are perfect children for us because we only have to scoop their litterbox once a day, whereas a baby's diaper must be changed several times throughout the day. Also, I only need to dump food and water into the kitties bowls once a day, unlike babies that require several bottle feedings. I only need a babysitter for the kitties when we go out of town for more than two days. In a nutshell, kitties are perfect children for us at the moment.

Hot August Nights
Hot August Nights this year in Reno was anything but *hot*. It was cool almost the entire time, except for the day we left, of course. It was also quite rainy our first full day at the show, caking the cars with road dirt and water.
For the most part, this year's show was pretty fun. On our first day, we did the Poker Run and drove all over, from Reno to Carson City to Tahoe then back to Reno. It was a really good drive for the cars, and in a way, the cool weather really helped because the cars didn't overheat. Unfortunately, we didn't make it to the sixth stop in time, and we couldn't finish our *poker hands*. Since we will not be able to make it to next year's Hot August Nights, we were a little disappointed not to be able to finish the poker run this year.
The next day, a group of us drove up to Virginia City and had a blast going into the various shops along the main street and exploring some museums and historical sites. I always love visiting Virginia City because it is where my parents got married way back in 1972. We even visited the chapel in which they were wed, and G and I snuck a little smooch in there for good luck. We also took some silly old fashioned photos while there with three others in our group. I was pretty darn sexy with my ass hanging out of my costume when the clip holding together came undone ;)
The last day of our trip, we headed to G's dad's cabin in Tahoe and hung out with him for a few hours before driving home. Even though I am going to be drowning in work after all of the time I have taken off this summer, it has definitely been worth it.
Here is a picture of G's plastic engine cover to protect the engine from the rain, because his car does not currently have a hood:
