My weekend recap - Part One

I took Friday afternoon off to get my nails and hair did. My poor nails were in BAD shape. I haven't gotten them done since before Christmas and yuck! I visited with my hair gal and I do mean visited because my appts are usually 3-4 hour adventures. I try to explain to Jack: "When you look this good it takes more than just 10 minutes and an electric clipper!" But on Friday I was in and out of the salon in 2.5 hours! I was stoked!

When I got home I was bouncing off the walls with excitement and nervous energy (and being pretty annoying) so Jack in his infinite wisdom thought it would be a good idea to give me a sleeping pill so that I could get some rest (and leave him alone)... except that it worked too fast and I was past out in about 45 minutes. i.e. I didn't have enough time to get all the little things that I needed to get ready for the next day done. Also, I accidentally set my cell phone alarm to ring at the wrong time so I woke up late Saturday morning in a panic. "Oh sh** I gotta go" kind of panic that then causes you to be even later because you can find your right shoe!!

Anyway, I had my second dress fitting that morning and had to pick up my mom on the way. We got to the appt about 10 minutes late but the seamstress wasn't waiting for us. Nope, she had written down the appt for 1 pm and not 9 am. I explained to her that:
"No, we made the appt of 9 am because my shower is this afternoon and I can't be in two places at once." She admitted that she had changed her appt book and that she had probably made a mistake. My dress is great! I didn't think that it could fit more perfectly than it did out of the box but it does. It is great. I can't believe it. And since I've lost a little bit of weight she is even going to have to take it in a little bit more! Yeah for me!

As we were walking out it starting to drizzle. My mom said "Don't worry it will clear up by the afternoon." I silently prayed that it would stop raining within the hour.

So after the appt mom and I ran some last minute errands and then I dropped her off to get ready and went home to get in the shower. Some how the 2 hours that I had to get ready were not enough. I was running late and it was freaking me out. I can't be late to my own shower!

My mom arrived at my house and starting freaking me out even more saying things like: "Do you have this? What about that? You can't forget this! We're going to be late." All I wanted in that very instant was for Jack to be there because we have a system and we work so well together. My mom obviously is not working in the system! I was ready to pull my hair out!

Finally we get down to the car with armloads of stuff and it is raining... not bad angry rain but still raining. My hair that I took an hour to curl was instantly wreaked. Why do I even bother?

Stay tuned for Part Two...
