Always the bouquet catcher, never the bride
What is that wedding tradition?

After the wedding the bride will toss it over her shoulder, and it is believed that whoever catches the bouquet is the next in line to be married.

If that were true, I'd be married a loooooooong time ago. I guess I'm just progressive and non-traditional.

Last weekend, I attended Kris and Nicole's wedding. I caught my eighth bouquet. It's not like I desperately tackled someone for it, but I took a step or two forward and held out my hand. It's not like years of football came into play here, I think the flowers have a built in targeting system and seek me out.

How in the world did I work my way up to eight bouquets? Being single, I guess. At work, people were asking if I'm just jinxing myself and catching too many. Gregg has a theory, "Can you catch something that is the anti-bouquet? Whatever it is, Dean must be catching it every wedding." But even if that's true, that doesn't explain the bouquets I caught before meeting Dean. Whatever it is, I'm as usual, I'm the abomination to tradition, even when I don't try.

So if I'm not getting married, what should I get out of this instead?

Maybe I can resell the bouquets I catch to craft people. That seems like something crafters can reuse or repackage. Maybe I should start hanging up bouquets I catch like hunting trophies. Mount them on the wall and have a big story about how it "almost got away".

Oh wait, I know. I wonder if this can become some sort of new sport. I don't see why not? They had bridge at the Olympics. I used to play football, so I can catch and tackle. "The bouquet has been tossed. Johnston and Furuholmen has collided and both are down. Nguyen is set to catch it. Chan has shoved aside Abebech and jumps over Anfisa and snatches it from mid air before Nguyen had a chance to get it!! It's over! Stephanie Chan of Canada has won the gold metal in bouquet catching!!!! Let's see that in again in slow motion..."

And then the real money comes when I do endorsements for the Canadian Egg agency, Sears catalogue modeling and voice-overs for the Discovery channel show How It's Made.

That'd be totally sweet.

I'm going to Winnipeg... twice!
Tomorrow I hop onto a plane ant land in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The first trip is two days of non-stop work related conference then they fly me back home. And then I go back for a different conference a week later. That one is when I get to socialize more.I wish it would have worked out in a way that I could have just stayed in Winnipeg and not fly back and forth. Ah well.

I know I haven't been around much. Had a lot of stuff going on in "real life". But I want to rework the blog and I just never sat down and did it. But I think it's going to happen pretty soon.

Yeah, that's right. I finally said "WHAT THE HELL?!?!" at a Japanese toy item. So you know it's freaky.



Go to the link to see the whole collection of tortured kewpie dolls as well as a commercial featuring the Joker's son:

Yes, they are on my wish list.
