does this mean i've made it?

If malice or envy were tangible and had a shape, it would be the shape of a boomerang.

i received my first bit of "hate mail" last night. well, it wasn't "hate" so much as "nasty" (and poorly worded). apparently me gushing about my wedding reception was offensive to at least one person out there.

the comment rattled me a little, which is embarrassing to admit. because i know better, and because a person can't put her life out there on the interweb and be surprised when some dodo with nothing better to do feels compelled to leave an incoherent comment. i'm sort of asking for it. but i also want everyone to like me, even the dodos.

so after i read the comment i thought that maybe i shouldn't be writing so much about my wedding. maybe it's obnoxious or inappropriate or upsetting to people. then, two seconds later, i realized this is my blog, getting married was a major milestone in my life and if my writing about it bothers people, they're free to click elsewhere.

tomorrow i'll try to finish up with tales from the honeymoon. we had a bunch of great adventures and met so many fascinating people. definitely worth writing about...
