Well, as it turns out, when you have a really good, outrageous story like the one I had a few days ago it's tough to find something to follow it up with. So, this will probably be a letdown, consider that your warning. :)
As a bit of follow-up, once I actually made it to the wedding festivities on Friday night, everything went smoothly. The rehearsal dinner was lots of fun, I'm pretty sure we didn't sleep at all on Friday night (but that's sort of what you sign up for when you stay with the bride the night before the wedding, right?). Saturday was kind of a blur with the salon, getting ready, the actual ceremony, the pictures, the limo, the reception...it always goes so fast! I've been looking at pictures almost continually and I still can't believe how fast it was. I had a great time, enjoyed some cocktails (several, even), danced like a rock star, closed out the reception and even hit an after party. Good times. Here's a picture of Marie and Me, all bridesmaided up.
Anyway, after I got back I pretty much felt like a zombie for 4 days. Turns out that not sleeping for three or four days in a row will catch up with you and it won't be pretty when it does.
I kind of feel normal again, after going to bed at like 9:00 for teh last week and spending my weekend sleeping and knitting. I did accomplish the knitting of two hats as Christmas gifts for my bosses this week, but I of course forgot to take pictures of them. Take my word for it, they were pretty cute. And well received. I am now working on finishing the socks for my mom. I have actually finished Andrea's socks, but I've been carrying them around for the last week not sending them out (sorry, Andrea!). My plan had been to stop by the post office last Friday morning in between dropping my mom off at work and driving to Midland, but we all know how that turned out. Then this week we had a bunch of people on vacation and it kept snowing (25+ inches in a week! Yikes!) so I didn't make it to the post office. I have high hopes for this week, however. It'll happen, I know it!
Anyway, here is a photo for you, of my mom's almost finished socks. The color is garbage in the photo, they're much darker in person. I can't get a much better picture of the pattern, but at least you have an idea. The top part needs revising because it looks bad and is hard to get over your foot, but I don't want to do ribbing so I need to come up with a plan B. I'm sure I'll figure something out.
You know, on second thought, that color is pretty true. I think the screen on my camera may be going. Which is less than ideal, I don't really want to buy a new digital camera.
Last, after work on Friday I went to see National Treasure: Book of Secrets. I liked it, I went in not expecting much except to be entertained for a couple of hours. Mission accomplished! I think it's a good holiday movie for the fam, you'll have a good time. At least, I know my family is going to see it on Christmas and I know they'll have a good time.
Ok, Merry Christmas everybody!
