Okay - so we are planning to get married in May in Hawaii and naturally are completed unorganised

Hey, you need any bridesmaids in hula skirts? I'm sure your PNW buddies could come up with some costumes...it would add a really elegant air to the proceedings.

Thanks for the good wishes everyone.

Thanks for your offer salsa - such a connoisseur of good taste. Actually, I am somewhat sartorially challenged and don't have a wedding outfit yet so I may be in touch re a bridal hula skirt.

My friend Angela is on the case re wedding outfits which scares me......she's already talking about spray tans (you have to read this in the context that Scottish people's natural skin tone is blue.)

Veronica has come up with what looks like a promising location on the Hawaii thread.....but don't give up, our lines remain open.

Forget spray tans. Hey, so you've already got the 'something blue' part covered.

(as in something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue")

LOL - good point!

O!

I'm waiting for my small town high school band to show up on the parade route...I don't believe the major networks are going to show the whole parade, though. Our band is near the end. I'm hoping CSPAN stays with it, though!

Fox is still showing the parade at 5:43

I am watching the inauguration repeat on bbc..I'm awed by the masses of people! Wow!!!

I wanted to watch it live but I really wanted to do a longish ride this morning & had to get up at 415..

Happy Inauguration Day to us. Hope I stop crying at SOME point.

Oh, Happy Day.

Whatever you want to say about Obama's speech, I think the guy who stole the show and summed it all up for me was the preacher who gave the Benediction. It was lovely, and more poetic than the poet laureate.

And I'm so grateful that even though NO ONE else did, Obama, Biden and their wives stayed for the whole parade, right to the end, and our high school band got to see them there. It's just the right thing to do. I vaguely remember a former president not staying until the end of the parade one time, but I can't remember who it was, now. How disrespectful that was!

I didn't get to see the whole thing but my husband (who voted for McCain) was impressed with the speech and very impressed with the pastor. The speech would offend those who didn't want Obama and electrify those who did. Most political speeches do that, what I saw of it was good.

I personally was not a Bush fan but I was saddened people would boo him and be so disrespectful of another person. One of the things I always liked about him was his aw-shucks let it roll personality. I don't know if it is denseness or just his way of coping but it makes me smile, I personally would cry.

Did anyone see Michelle's ball gown? I am not a big fashionista but I like to watch the red carpet, her gown was a bold move from the sequined and lace frocks of the last 20 years. I dug it and am amused by the keen interest in her clothes. "She wears J.Crew can you believe it?"

I liked Mrs. Biden's red one better. I like red.

I forgot to watch the concert. Dangitall. And I read that they didn't broadcast Bishop Robinson's prayer anyhow.

I have an unopened jar of peanut butter that I'm afraid to eat. The company website doesn't say anything about the recall. I need my PB! Guess I'll just have to get some more pecans instead. I'm not really afraid of serious consequences but I don't even want a mild case of food poisoning, thank you very much.

[bmccasland]

Oakleaf,
I believe the PB recall is actually over a peanut paste compound that is used in other products, not peanuts ground into peanut butter. They've talked about crackers, cookies, icecream and such being recalled not jars of PB spread.

I liked Mrs. Biden's red one better. I like red.

Karen

Oh yeah, I liked it better to. Had to go find a picture. She is a beautiful woman, I dug the red coat for the inaguration. It was loud, I liked it!
