Productive

Even though I was really not motivated at work, and tired and wanted to go home, I got a lot done. I didn't go swimming, but I got a lot of work done. On my way home I stopped and took pictures of cherry blossoms and forsythia and crocus and daffodils. And then I came home and had a really productive evening. Azure bought us plane tickets and made hotel reservations for our honeymoon in Montreal! And I stuffed & stamped all the invitations, and we got them all sealed up and in the mailbox! Hooray for having several things crossed off the list!

I also made tacos, and we watched Lost, and I think there will be nothing else productive tonight but perhaps an early-to-bed night.

It's weird that I could have such a productive and positive day when I had such a bad attitude to start it out.

Montreal is an awesome city. I hope you guys enjoy your time there as much as I did mine!

I visited Montreal last year, it's a lovely city. There's a great restaurant right in the city centre called Jardin Nelson (http://www.jardinnelson.com). It has a beautiful inner court with live music and the food is delicious.

That does look pretty. I will have to add it to our list of places to try out - thanks for the recommendation!

It's not "weird"... it's a job well done.
I just realized yesterday that your honeymoon was scheduled for Montreal. It's a great city... GO CANADA! :)
(plus, the exchange rate helps)

Maybe it's both. :-)
Yay Canada! Yay exchange rate! I'm excited.

Very jealous about Montreal. I've been trying to get there for years and years and never quite managing it.

It's a heck of a lot cheaper than Europe... I hope you get there sometime soon!

You're going to love it. what month? I used to live there. Jazz Fest is in July, Just for Laughs is in... argh... how soon we forget... June, I think? Go. Have fun.

End of July/early August. From my quick research, it looks like the fireworks festival will be going on, but we'll miss Just for Laughs. I don't know if we'll be there for the Jazz Fest or not. But it sounds like it'll be so much fun! Thanks!

P.S. If you have any specific recommendations, please pipe up! And if you want to see what I have tentatively got in mind for us and offer opinions, you can see it all at our honeymoon registry: http://www.honeyfund.com/wedding/joeandbeth

If I couldn't be productive and unmotivated at the same time I would have been fired long long ago....

Whoa, wait, what? Montreal is not in Italy!!!

Yes.... it's much cheaper to get to Montreal in late July/early August. And also the weather should be much nicer.
