Gung hay fah choy

The cold has mostly passed, and I'm back to work. (Our client, a certain mega-huge tech company based in Redmond, does not take Presidents' Day off, so we can't, either. Of course, the Chinese writers who produce some of the content I edit are taking the entire week off for Chinese New Year.)

I guess there isn't too much to report about this weekend. We cleaned the house some, I got closer to finishing Lego Star Wars II (down to two super stories and some brick-buying), negihama made a great dinner last night. For Chinese/Lunar New Year, we got some takeout from Snappy Dragon and rented Raise the Red Lantern Saturday night.

We're still trying to figure out the food: The budget, whether we want a restaurant that can cater (and still handle the linens/china part) or just find a reasonable caterer, etc. We're meeting with a photographer tonight to look at her portfolio, and now I have the number of the guy who did my sister's wedding, whose rates two summers ago were comparable to this other person's. We need to rent chairs for the wedding site. We still need to get more info about hotels. I need to work on the wedding Web site and add more info about the wedding site(s) and things for out-of-town guests to do in Seattle.

Once we get food and the photographer figured out, we should be a lot less stressed. Save-the-date cards are ordered and should be delivered sometime this week. So that's something that'll be done soon!
