labatt the cat!
Hola, amigos. Been a long time since I rapped at ya.
We have a new member of the DeMarco Dalius Household: Labatt the Cat.
She is a black and white American longhair housecat, and she will be 2 years old on March 2nd. She had been adopted before from the same shelter where we got her, but I guess she was aggressive towards other cats. That won't be a problem for us since we're a one-cat household.
She's very friendly and affectionate, and constantly follows the two of us around the condo. She sleeps with us, and this morning she was sitting on my lap while I checked my email at home. It's a little challenging having another sort of person around...we have to have rules about where she can and can't go, so she's allowed to get up on the furniture but just not on the coffee table, for example, because that's where we tend to eat dinner. It's a little tough getting around sometimes because she has a habit of running right under our feet, and she wants to come with me to work in the morning too. She is also extremely vocal, always meowing and yelling about this or that. I think her previous owners must have given her people food because she always shows up in the kitchen if one of us is in there.
But, she's getting used to the house and our schedule, and seems like she's a pretty good cat. She's already litter trained so no issues with that yet. I don't think she's crazy about her cat food either but she'll get used to that as well.
Most of the other stuff that's been going on is a ton of wedding planning. We've really started to ramp up in the new year so we can get as much stuff done now as possible and be able to both enjoy our summer and take care of minor last-minute stuff without a lot of panic. Things we have done so far include:
- booked the Elks in Gloucester as our function hall
- booked a caterer and set a menu
- booked a DJ
- booked a photographer
- ordered a wedding cake
- bought a wedding dress
- bought both wedding rings
- booked a florist
- talked to Kara's minister to do the ceremony
- reserved some hotels for guests
- designed and mailed Save-the-Dates
- started registering for gifts
- scheduled Bridal Shower and bachelorette weekend
- booked Gloucester House restaurant for rehearsal dinner
Things we have yet to do (that I can remember):
- design and send out invitations
- plan bachelor party
- assign accommodations for bridal party and immediate family
- dance lessons and choose music for special dances
- finish designing centerpieces, accent decorations, favors, table cards, etc.
- rehearsal dinner guest list
- rent tuxedos
- plan honeymoon
So most of the big stuff is done. Just smaller detail things at this point. Not too worried about it.

The cat looks good and it sounds like your preparation is well on its way.
