So what is the next project? I feel such a let down today.Son2 gets his wisdom teeth out this Friday so I need to rally and start to get my thoughts organized to take care of him. College boy comes home Saturday for his break between work and school. I must put fresh sheets on his bed and lay out fresh towels and make his favorite foods. Before he even steps foot in the door I start to think of… [Read More]
The rehearsal. The bride entered from behind these doors in Vera Wang less than 24 hours from this moment.A place for everyone… … and everyone in their place. As the rehearsal was under way, son2 and I were just finishing hanging the rosettes. Mr. P. Martini came just in time to supervise the job and take the luggage to the Westin since my car was full of decorations when I left in the morning. L.L. Bean tote bag, paper cutter,… [Read More]
College registration time. Just me and son2 are heading up the coast.See ‘y’all’ (I am from Southern California, you know 😉 ) in a few days. Have a great rest if the week, BF’s. 🙂
Part of my shopping success this weekend included these pretty pink patent shoes. They also match my pink patent Lilly bag perfectly although I’m not likely to pair them together but I could. I also bought a pair in a matte muted gold almost like a tarnished silver. I am loving the square toe. For $69.00, why not buy two? With my cropped white jeans I also bought this weekend? Lovin’ that too. In the Kate Spade store (I love… [Read More]
I did it. I bought one of these. Industrial strength spandex. After trying on 4 of them. In a small, small dressing room. Without air conditioning. I was pulling (yanking) it up around my hips when my hand slipped and smacked me in the face as if I really needed the added encouragement. Only further proof it is down hill from here. “Sexy Back” – Justin Timberlake
Years ago Mr. P. M. was reading an article about women and how we are not as straight forward in asking for what we want as men are. In the article it used this example: While driving with her husband, the wife wanted to stop at the road side ice cream stand but instead of telling her husband to stop there for her she said to him, “If you want to stop for an ice cream that would be okay.”… [Read More]
This weekend was a delight.It really began on Thursday as I pushed through making the rosettes from 6 PM until 4 AM then on Friday afternoon until 2 AM. Saturday morning I was on the road by 7:30 to drive (1 1/2 hr.) to the villa in Sierra Madre (Pasadena area) to meet the bride who had flown in from SF the night before and my bro and sister-in-love. This was also the day for the bridal shower and her… [Read More]
Haunting. Memorable. His music is inspiring to me. When I saw the 4th movie (Patrick Doyle, composer), and the 5th (Nicolas Hooper, composer) in the Harry Potter series I knew there was something missing. For me it was in the music. This greatly affected my experience. I wasn’t brought into the story as emotionally involved as I had been before. This was such a disappointment to me. Nicolas Hooper has written the score for the second time.His reviews are in:… [Read More]
Last week I received 2 lovely blog awards. The first is from Preppy 101 of All Things Southern & Preppy. Thank you very much dear BF. What can I say about P 101 and her blog? We all seem to know her and love her and now she is going to be sharing her most fabulous journey of her daughter’s wedding with us. I can’t wait to hear all the details along the way. I hope her PD knows how… [Read More]
