What a day.
It started off super frustrating. I set all of my alarms so that I could get up in time for service out at the hall. I even left time for me to take a shower, even though dry shampoo and I are good friends. Slept. Through. Them. All. 😞 I mean, yeah, I didn't fall asleep until 4 am, but seriously! Barely woke up in time to nominally help with a bit of set up and take a shower before the gorgeous tea party that my sister threw! I was still putting on makeup when the first guests arrived and I was happy to be wearing a hat so no one could tell that my hair was still wet!
Everyone dressed up in hats or pearls or both and looked lovely. The food was delicious: spanakopita, meats, cheeses, crackers, lemon bars, sugar cookies, and veggies to go with the tea. I had so much fun talking about writing with some of the guests and we will be getting together again soon to iron out what the whoosit Robyn in doing in the story. And in the end we all got to take our teacups home! I also offered to make anyone's cup into a candle. Two people took me up on the offer so I know what project I'll be working on next week. :)
After everyone left sis and I popped over to New Seasons to pick up a few groceries and we saw a bride and groom wandering around with their best man and maid of honor, still in their wedding finery (though someone had spilled something reddish purple on the side of her dress). Evidently they had only been married a few hours. Why anyone would decide to go to the store after a wedding is lost on me ... though I have wanted to wear one of my cosplays to go to the library.
Now I'm sitting here eating Cherry Cordial Kisses (my favorite part of this time of year and one of my favorite Black Friday purchases) watching TableTop while trying to figure out what to post tomorrow. I'd hoped to be a little more on top of things and have scheduled posts but children did not nap when they were supposed to and I slept when I was no supposed to. Things should settle down on Monday.
