Juice Ignores Homework All Weekend
It was a lovely weekend.
Yesterday=Danni's wedding. Danni is one of the most positive people I know. Just being around her makes everything better. She married her sweetheart of 8 years yesterday in what was the swankiest wedding I've ever attended. The reception was at the classy Graves 601 Hotel (formerly le Meridian). It was also the best-looking group of people I've ever seen at a wedding--I think she went to one of those agencies where you can hire good-looking wedding guests and 5'10" Swedish bridesmaids? I don't know, I'm just saying, it was like watching a fashion show as everyone filed in and out of the church.
Today I had brunch with school friends Sarah and Emily, and then we went to Arc's Value Village for total shopping spree! They just put out all of their "Halloween" stuff (read: super rad polyester dresses from 1960s and 70s!) and I loaded up on some cutie-pie dresses and skirts, and an excellent gray wool skirt-suit circa 1970s--oh la la.
I spent the late afternoon sewing. LA was looking for a glider-rocker for Esther's nursery, and as luck would have it, I had picked one up on the side of the road a few months ago. I sewed some new cushions for it and a few accent pillows, then strategically timed a delivery to catch them right at dinner time, bwahaaahhaaaa. I didn't put up much of a fight when LA insisted I stay for super tasty asparagus quiche, a red bean dish, beer, and fresh homemade chocolate chip cookies! It was a nice dinner with the two of them. I suspect the next time I see them will be in the hospital, after Esther's birth?
One of the worst things about being back in school is that sometimes more than a week goes by without checking Go Fug Yourself, and I miss something like this! I'm really just so speechless about the matter I can do little more than post the link. OMG.
