Eeeks….just signed up for the first of the five CPIM tests. So next Tuesday Nov 2 I’ll be sweating up a storm. Send drugs.

So back to the wedding weekend. When last seen, our bridezilla had zipped around on Saturday with curls in her hair talking girly music things with the organist. Sunday AM, I figured out that when I brushed the curls out and tucked them behind my ears, it didn’t look too terribly bad. As a matter of fact, it looked like I would have fit in nicely in Northhampton MA. So off we (that’s Mom & I, not the royal we) went to the shower with my east coast hippy chick look, short hair, chunky glasses, all part of a master disguise, which I couldn’t possibly recreate on my own. It was certainly different, to the point where people didn’t recognize me for a while. I think that it got easier when I finally took the glasses off. What the heck, it was kind of fun. Anyway, it was a fabulous shower. It was so nice to see everyone, some of my relatives I haven’t seen in quite a while. With being out of town, basically if the cousins don’t show up for Christmas and Thanksgiving, I don’t get to see them. And I’ve been terribly remiss in visiting with some of my neighbors on my 48 hour trips to StL. My cousin hosted, and she has a beautiful house. I’m so happy for her that things are going well. If people “deserve” their luck she definitely deserves the good fortune. She and her husband are really sweet. Anyway, to put it bluntly for the shower….we made a haul. I’m not kidding. We’re still trying to figure out how to get all of that stuff back to Pittsburgh. I did manage to get a blanket back, and some new towels. No longer will I hang myself on the unraveled edges of my towels! Although as Mom pointed out, it will cut down on the ability to wear my towels like a superman cape.

The other cool thing that happened was that I handed off the tiara to my Aunt Eileen at my shower. We took some measurements, and she’ll make my veil. That’s really superduper neato wow cool!

And now I’m back in Pittsburgh, sans curls…and back to panicking about certification. It’ll happen! It has to!
