Another Bridal Showcase and Mother Nature's paddle

This showcase was good, but the food was lacking. Normally they have plenty of good caterers, but there was mainly cake at this one. And is it just me, or is Famous Daves NOT an appropriate wedding caterer? RANT ALERT RANT ALERT RANT ALERT RANT ALERT RANT ALERT RANT ALERT RANT
If you put fast food at your wedding, what's the point in getting a caterer? Might as well just hit up Subway and buy 5 dollar foot longs for everyone. Or Micky D's and buy like 50, 20 piece nuggets. Or just jump in front of a bus! Okay, maybe not jumping in front of a bus, but for real. Famous Dave's is good, but screams a harpy-like "you don't matter, guests, so you get fast food for my reception."

Okay, enough of the rant. I apologize if Famous Dave's is your favorite spot and you were thinking of hooking up some BBQ at your next wedding. In hindsight,that rant was unnecessary, and yes I could delete it, but obviously I'm not.

BTW here are the pictures from the showcase, check here if you want to know the names for everything.

B&B update! I made it to my February fundraising goals a bit early! Thank you once again to everyone who has donated so far! You're awesome. Isn't it wonderful to be a part of building a better world? If you haven't donated and still want to donate, click the smiley face =) to be a part of this awesome adventure.

Mother Nature spanks hard. Definitely did not realize how hard it is to bike while it's currently snowing until I tried to for the first time. I'd been out in the cold, but there's nothing like having ice pellets biting at your eyes and nose while flying down a hill with no control because snow isn't the best surface to stop on. As one fellow bike and builder said to me, safety is sexy, so I guess I won't be biking during snow storms anymore. Because if there's one thing I absolutely have to  be, it's sexy. And if I have to be safe to be sexy, than gosh darn it I guess I'll be safe. That means no more rides at 4 in the morning because last time I almost got hit by a drunk driver. Though Alcohol was probably involved with his drunk driving spin out  I guess I should still be safer by only driving when there are cars on the road for the drunk driver to hit instead of lonely me on my bike. Really though, i"ll be safe.

PS, if you have an odd mind like me, and you're ever thinking of using aluminum foil as insulation for your cold weather endeavors, don't! Especially not as hand warmers. I literally thought I would lose my fingers after 5 minutes of being out in the cold with the foil wrapped around my appendages.

You may be over there laughing up a storm, saying, "Oh Jeremie, didn't you know that would make you colder?" Obviously not. I know metal retains cold, but for my defense, I figured my body heat would stay inside since foil is such a great heat trapper. But I forgot mother nature is much colder than I am warm, so that's why it didn't work. Easy mistake for anyone to make...right? I also did a foot wrap with foil, so here's a pic of that for your amusement.

Welp that's all for now. As usual, thanks for listening with your eyes.
