*Warning* Polishing bakelite is highly addictive. Do not continue unless you want to spend hours in antique shops scouring for yellowed bangles just to polish off the patina and see what color is underneath. You also may annoy your friends by constantly showing them before and after pictures.

I wouldn't say I'm stressed ... it's more that I feel a whole buzzing in my body, and my brain flits from one thought to another like a 4 year old on a chocolate high ... Everything's coming together now - the grant is written, quadruple-checked and submitted; the rings are re-sized and my dress re-fitted; somewhere in South Brisbane some lovely Greek ladies are making us a tray of my favourite sweet treat ... baklava; and Mom's here (at least in body) from the US to hang out with us for 2 whole weeks! To help bake cupcakes and hang garlands and play Snakes and Ladders with Nelle and take care of us next week after my post-wedding surgery*. *ever the non-traditionalists, we're having my ovaries out 4 days into our new marriage ... Don't worry - I'm fine ... this is an elective surgery to help prevent ovarian cancer and reduce my chances of breast cancer coming back.
