TRAMBLINGS...
I spent Valentine's Day taking down my Christmas Tree.
A mellow way to spend an afternoon. The last time I left (before Xmas, thus the tree in February) I ended up being away for almost two months. The Crown Prince volunteered to take the tree down for me. Once I came to I politely declined the offer. Just before I blacked out from the thought I had visions of broken ornaments in a shoe box. Anyway, it was a nice, kind offer but since he didn't mind the tree in the living room I decided to leave it there. But, nice or not, I was determined to take it down before I left again.
C.P. and I had a nice dinner on my bday. I dressed up. He dressed up. The woman at the next table in a Puma sweat jacket did not. On our way out we bumped into BRANDY (literally) and it looked like she was on a date with a cute guy. The food was decent if not a little overpriced so we went to another favorite spot before I left town. I also got to see some of my former co-workers, and I took a picture of my parking space at WOMEN'S MURDER CLUB with my name on it. I'll post it here soon.
The dress I told you about in the last post arrived today. Despite the fact that I was sporting bedhead and no make up I slipped it on. It zipped right up, fit like a glove. Perfect. I took it to the cleaners. Only thing I might change are the straps. Pretty crystal straps but too thin for a woman with girls such as mine. I don't want the guests to be riddled with anxiety. And wondering when those straps would snap would surely fill everyone within a twenty mile radius with anxiety. My sister gave me the thumbs up and then tried to talk me into wearing a crown with it. I don't know WHAT is going with her but there is no way I am wearing a crown/tiara or whatever you want to call it. But I might buy one for her to wear around the house or at the grocery store. I also found a beautiful location in Napa. It's so pretty it just takes my breath away. AND we decided on a date. It's a weekday, my daddy's birthday and coming up FAST. Cake tasting is next.
THIS is one of the prettiest weddings I've come across in all my research. THAT TABLE just blew me away. Fancy set up in a rustic looking outdoor setting. ONE MORE LOOK all courtesy of STYLE ME PRETTY a great website for planning and ideas. "Simple" and "Pretty" are the two words I repeat most when trying to pull this together. Most everything on that site falls into one of those categories.
In non-wedding news, I overheard one of the funniest conversations between two women while shopping for pajamas. I was ear hustling so bad that my sister had to pinch me. They were funny, without trying to be, and dead serious about their subject.
WOMAN: Earth, Wind & Fire be having way too much shit going on when they're on stage. You know Philip with his high notes, that tall fool that look freaky as f*ck, the costumes and all those gotdamn instruments.
WOMAN #2: Well, they do put on a show.
WOMAN: But it's exhausting. I don't know where to set my eyes, where to look, what to do. Wears me out. I felt like saying, ya'll nine motherf*ckers step back, only two step forward and don't nobody else move.
WOMAN #2: You would just concentrate on the two in front.
WOMAN: That's right. I wouldn't give a rats ass what the other nine were doing just the two up front.
WOMAN #2: Maybe they could just play behind a black curtain.
WOMAN: Maybe they could.
All this while they thumbed through a box of JC Penney underwear marked $1.97.
Until next time...
