So who here is planning on watching the royal wedding? I am despite coverage starting at 4am here on the Eastern Seaboard of the US. On of the “benefits” of being unemployed\* is having alot of free time on weekdays. My mother is too (at her own house), but unlike me she actually had a job to request vacation time off for (well technically this is her Good Friday holiday). She’s also bought some of the comemorative plates.

\*I actually got a job this morning, but I don’t start until next month. 🙂

Closing at OP’s request, who had meant to do it as a poll.
