I’ve been checking the weather so
obsessively it’s a shame that the Weather Channel app doesn’t provide rewards
points.
I’ve
sat up in bed at 3 a.m. to think,
“Kleenex! Lots of Kleenex!”
I’ve
been packed for three days, then unpacked, repacked, and packed again.
I’ve
been attempting to get enough sun to at least beige my bingo wings (sleeveless
dress), but not so much that the age spots on my face turn into continents.
I
spent yesterday evening with my feet in the dishpan in the hopes of a) soaking off
the summer-going-barefoot dirt and b) later grating off calluses so thick I
could cross a tar road in Oklahoma
at high noon in July.
I’ve
worried about speeches, toasts, first dances, getting lost, getting to places
on time, and hair. Always hair.
Tonight
is the rehearsal dinner (Speeches! Toasts! And of course, hair!)
Tomorrow
night our son is marrying a wonderful, wonderful woman.
And that’s one thing I’m not worried about at
all!
What a wonderful post. I hope it all goes well.
ReplyDeleteHair, shmair.
ReplyDeleteThe important bases are covered.
Oh, congratulations to them both, and to you as well. I laughed at the description of the beige bingo wings. :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a good time, they will get married regardless!! :)
ReplyDeleteJust enjoy the day. Have a good time. Don't sniffle like I do!
ReplyDeleteA wedding! Oh, happy day!
ReplyDeletegotta love weddings! the last one I went to I got a manicure and pedicure. I did the same thing, used a pumice stone to grind off the ground in dirt on my heels/callouses from going barefoot all the time so I wouldn't look like a hill billy to the manicurist.
ReplyDeleteIt's tomorrow and I hope all the worries are behind you and you are having a marvelous time enjoying your son's wedding day!
ReplyDeleteWish him a happy and long-lasting marriage. Good luck with all the preparations. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
Thank you all for your kind wishes!
DeleteCongrats to your son and his new wife! I say just cover up the calluses. No one will know.
