The Worst (let's end on a positive note shall we?)
- Disappointment: Will not approving of my plan to have Pat Benatar's "We Belong" play as we had our first marital kiss. How could he not understand how awesome that would have been?!
- Trip: cross-country with a Uhaul.
- Personal impact of the bad economy: let's not talk about that right now
- Book read: Little Brother, Cory Doctorow's "important" young adult novel about hackster teens.
- Baking disaster: pistachio macarons
- Accomodations: the one room, shared kitchen/ bathroom above Shon's spa and across from the porn shop.
- Movie: The Dark Knight. So overrated. And could it have been any longer?
- Habit: Losing important papers, like car titles, which makes it very hard to set up life in a new country.
- Food: Anywhere on I-80.
- Way to spend a honeymoon: at in-laws house
The Best
- Trip: Bishop, CA
- Hike-in hot springs: Goldmeyer, in the Cascades
- Transport: the Wedding tandem
- Surprise: Ottawa's winter, while cold, is totally livable with a long coat and fur-lined boots (at least so far)
- Food: Montreal
- Way to get downtown: canoe
- Book read: Big Rock Candy Mountain
- Random revelation from a total stranger: Hotel clerk in Flint, Michigan describing her arrest for marijuana possession after misunderstanding our question about whether one could bring wheat across the border.
- Footwear: blue mary janes
- Moment:

Now that's a creative idea.
The sad Caledonian/Scandinavian me, however, never thinks in terms of "bests." I generally just think in terms of "worsts" even though nothing bad may have happened to me.
love, love, love the wedding tandem!!!
Beautiful wedding photo! We miss you!
Wonderful wedding things on the best list. I am always impressed with your ability to be definite about things you don't like, because I am super wishy washy about this, except for George Bush and especially Dick Cheney. But I am definitively happy about your wedding. It always makes me smile.
WAIT... he did not understand the "We Belong" moment? WHAT? I thought this guy was perfect for you, but now I have grave concerns... Melissa - love and miss you lady! What beautiful bests! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU!
I know Kat, can you believe it? I'm learning to forgive.
