Creative Saturday Revisited

I didn't create as I would've like to but I did find a dress for the wedding. I went to so many stores that by the time I got to Burlington Coat Factory, I was hitting panic. I called Married Boo, almost in tears. "I can't find a dress so I'm not getting married." I could tell she was trying to be sympathetic but she just didn't understand. "I feel like an Oompa Loompa and nothing seems to say, "My wedding dress". She did her best to console me and then hung up to call TV Boo who pitied me so much that she met me at the mall to walk me through my panic attack/hysteria. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything in ivory considering that the winter fashions are now out and the "in style" color is black. I refuse to wear black to my wedding.

So, I was back to square one until I went back to online shopping and found something that I really do like. I just hope and pray that it fits me and it gets here in a rush. (Shipping express better be fast!)

That was my creative Saturday. How was yours?

Hope the dress turns out perfectly, Simone. :)

My late Sat/very early Sun was not creative at all... unless you call sitting with Z while she sits on the throne, telling me, "I'm not sleepy anymore, Mommy. I want to watch Marlin (Nemo)." At 3am!

Well, your day was exhausting! I guess I missed the part where you explained why you waited until the week of your wedding to find something you like by way of attire? I hope that the one you found on line is PERFECT. But you know what? He's marrying you, not your dress. It's the marriage that's important, not the wedding details. So keep taking those deep breaths. It will all work out. It always does!

Good luck on that dress! I hope it fits you like the queen you are!

My creativity came last night, oops I mean this morning suddenly and furiously. In fact, I'd love for you to read my post about it and offer your thoughts as a fellow writer, whenever you get a chance:

What would you have to talk about years from now as you rock in your chairs together if everything goes perfectly for the wedding? It's those little goof ups and mis-cues that make the event entirely yours.

Happy wedding!

Only I....

Only I --- could cut my tongue eating a graham cracker. Only I --- could be the designated pillow for the kitty. Only I --- could cry from hearing O Come All Ye Faithful. Only I --- could eat seaweed for breakfast and convince myself that it is the yummiest snack there is. (Even better than Reeses Puffs Cereal) . Only I --- could develop an allergy to fish after 49 years. Only I --- could have the joy of teaching a classroom of preschool kids in church and hearing them pray. Only I --- could have an epic fail day in the kitchen while making caramel apples. Note to self --lose the recipe for reverse caramel apples. Only I --- would get the same guy twice on the phone wanting to commit suicide - AGAIN. This time, though, he was threatening to take out a few people with him. Scary but true. Only I --- could misunderstand someone that is telling me that they are "packing". She said, "I'm still living here but I'm packing." My re...

My Bucket List

My twin sis and I have bucket lists. The funny thing is that they aren't literally on paper. They are in our heads. For instance, my Nay Nay called me and said, "You won 't believe what I did!  I got big girl shoes…for my bucket list." "Really? Big girl shoes?" I asked. I knew exactly what she meant. When we were born, and back in the day when braces could or should be recommended for feet that in-toed, we weren't given that joy. As a result, walking in high heels can often be a challenge. My Nay Nay decided that she was going to cross off one thing on that bucket list and found a deal of 10 pairs of heels. (Not one but 10. She went for the gusto.) Each day, she practiced walking in her big girl shoes until the moment finally came and she ROCKED those heels! Together we have decided that we WILL cross off stuff on our growing bucket lists. Some of those things are on both of our lists while others are our very own "personal" bucket lists...
