They may be old but they ain't dead (or Another productive day...)
So we visited Marielle's grandma in her home. It was an interesting experience, especially mealtime.
We entered this room of perhaps 100 or so old folks, all chowing down. We filled out our order sheets and when the waitress left she forgot to take Marielle's.
Marielle ran after her and boy did the old guys react!
It was like a scene out of one of those zombie movies, where all of a sudden the zombies discover someone amoung them isn't dead, and they start jerking and twitching and hooting at the excitement.
A young lithe blonde running past an octogenarian will do that. She does it to me and I'm in my 30's (aren't I dear?)
Anyhow, we took some important decisions today.
We agreed an operating budget for the flats, and funding levels. Basically, we're each contributing to the total common costs (clearly defined in a shared spreadsheet) according to the ratio of net incomes.
This is fair, doesn't over burden either of us and we both contribute.
Considering so many marriages get into trouble over money, we thought it prudent to discuss and agree as much as possible up front.
And on the "let's have some fun side" we've completed a first pass at our schedule for Vegas. Not travel or wedding dates; these are fixed. But what we're gonna do while out there.
Our tentative first pass list looks like (please comment if you've got sugggestions or ideas)

Okay I deleted the comment since none of your friends wanted to go in on a nice large suite with us so we're staying about a mile away from you guys now. However I STILL want to go on the helicopter ride. Shawn's not going to be in Las Vegas (he's leaving the 29th) so if you could make room for little old me to take photos and video and all that great stuff, PLEASE DO!? I'll pay my own way...I just want to get the experience. I wish Shawn could do it as well, but he's not going to be in Las Vegas. Sigh...
