A lot has been going on in the past few weeks that I haven’t caught up on blogging, just when I suddenly have all kinds of friends reading this blog! Whoops! I recently sent out an email to everyone I knew in CA or who had ties to family and friends in CA to describe why I was voting No on Proposition 8 and why I thought they should too. I got an overwhelming number of responses in support of the cause. Some people decided to do more for the campaign, at least one person felt more compelled to vote after hearing about the issue and at least one person switched from a ‘Yes’ to a ‘No’ vote (Thank you, TC, you made my week!). On the other hand, I did know that some people would not agree with my stance and I did get one response back stating the case for the other side. While I don’t believe in this argument, I am open to a healthy debate about it.
Kevin has also been more motivated and wants to volunteer, so, we are going to do some phone banking tonight. I would rather just sit and do office work for the No campaign, but, Kevin felt that we could make the biggest difference by calling people. (Ackk… I’m scared to call people, I have to admit).
In other, totally unrelated political news… some good friends got married last weekend. It was a jam packed weekend with salsa lessons (Friday), the wedding at Grace Cathedral (Sat.), a picnic (Sunday) and wine tasting in Napa (Monday). I went to everything! I think I need a vacation now. Only these friends who have one of the craziest engagment stories would aim so high to plan so many events for a weekend. Planning a wedding seems like enough madness for me! I helped out with a small detail of the wedding which was to format individual thank you notes for each guest. Yes… they wrote 150 unique thank you’s for each guest that you would find at your seat at the reception. They did this in the last week of wedding planning. This is the time when I was so nervous and busy, I’m sure I couldn’t get matching shoes on… but, they added this task (which is very cute) to their long list of to-dos. They have also been rehearsing a salsa first dance for quite a long time. Here is a short excerpt of their fun dance. Rae’s dress was lovely and perfect, btw. Bravo! (sorry for the fuzziness of the video, this is from my digital camera)
Lastly, I spent this past Saturday morning at “Yogapalooza” which was a 90 mins. session of Vinyasa yoga outside in the Marina green overlooking the Golden Gate bridge. While it was a bit chilly and hard to balance when you are standing on grass, it was a fun thing to try in the city. The price was also right, it was free and I got a free yoga mat.
