Party Time

Princessina is yet again fast asleep in the middle of our bed.  She is adorable and I am going to join her in a moment.  I think I would be wise to get a good night's sleep tonight since tomorrow will be a busy day and includes the drive to the train station to pick up Lucy & Ethel, I mean my mom and my aunt.  Yes, that's right, they're really coming.  Of course I won't truly believe that something won't go wrong until I see the whites of their eyes as they come out of Union Station. 

We have some more straightening to do, a couple of errands, and that's about it.  Jackson didn't even notice that I'd moved nearly all of his toys from the family room up to his room.  Katherine had her first flowers delivered today as a gift from our friends for her christening.  Not just any old flowers, these are exotic blooms arriving via FedEx today from Hawaii.  What a very special treat.  The stems are all very large, mostly all in the pink family, and I got 3 arrangements out of what came in the box.  I happily crossed buying flowers off the to do list. 

I found a dress yesterday that I think I will wear for Sunday and then for a wedding reception next month, and then to my 25th reunion in November. 

Cranberry wool, sleeveless, Ann Taylor.  I bought matching jewelry, sucker that I am.  The chunky charm necklace looks divine with it but I want to show off my diamond necklace as well.  The reason I'm a sucker is that I was thinking scarf, didn't see anything, caught sight of the baubles, picked up what matched and didn't even look at the price. Yes I bought the earrings too although I think they're too much for an afternoon christening.  I tried it on today and really felt a connection with my grandmother.  Scary.....

Oh man!  Sleeveless?  For a 25th reunion?  Don't make me hate you.  I couldn't wear sleeveless past about my sophomore year of college.  ;-)  You'll look stunning, Princess Mother.  Have a wonderful time.
