Rehearsal Dinner
We sure had a good time at the rehearsal dinner last night. I always wonder how Bug is going to fit in with the Ponnay side of the family. We don’t see them often, since they all live up north, so I expected some shyness and maybe even some hugging aversion.
Obviously, I am a worrywart for no reason because Bug is the most social kid on earth. She was running around poking people I didn’t even know within seconds of arriving. Everyone loved her and of course she ate up all the attention like it was cake for lunch. I think I’m going to have a hard time keeping tabs on her at the wedding today.
I don’t have many pictures from the rehearsal dinner because it was a pretty low-lit venue and I refuse to use the flash on my camera. I’ll just say we had lovely time with friends and relatives and the food was delicious. I’m sure glad someone let me know that the ravioli had smoked salmon inside because that might have ruined my evening. I cannot stand anything fish-related no matter how smothered it is in cream sauce. It looked tasty but I’ll stick with the chicken cordon bleu, thank you.
I wish I had recorded some of the wild and crazy toasts that were bantered around throughout the night. The Ponnays always know how to celebrate and when the alcohol flows so does their flowery language. Don’t worry though, Bug was not drinking. I tried to give her a Shirley Temple but she would have none of that awful stuff with bubbles.
I do have pictures of Bug and me getting ready for the rehearsal dinner. I’m so glad I have a daughter. She is so much fun to primp with. Here you can see we are putting on our “lipstick” and practicing our kissy faces that Angella taught us. Neither of us are actually wearing lipstick. I don’t think I even own any. I’m wearing some kind of lip liner smudged on with chap stick and Bug is wearing chap stick with a few remnants of my lip liner. Whatever works, right?
Fierce is all about attitude.
In a few hours we will be getting ready all over again for the wedding. We are very excited. I’ve heard there will be a craft table for kids (and one taller kid, who would be me) to make valentines to give to the bride and groom. How sweet is that?
I’ll be back with lots of details!

Shiny Happy Weekend
Oh me oh my. We’ve been having a lot of fun these last few days. Angella came down from Canada to get rid of her winter blues and we have been packing in the fun as much as she can take. She’s going to go home with so much sunshine in her soul, they’re going to send her back because she’ll be too bright and cheery.
First we shipped her off to Bethany’s for some pottery painting. That always cures my winter blues but then I’m sort of a freak that way. I painted a tree plate but I don’t think it’s going to turn out. I also painted Angella’s mug accidentally by mistaking it for the water bowl when I wanted to wash off my brush. At least she’ll get a laugh at my expense every morning when she drinks her hazelnut latte.
The only problem with Angella visiting is that she has a freaking huge camera! Whenever she breaks it out, my cameras have to go hide in my purse because they have terrible inferiority complexes. I have hardly any photos of our fun because I’m tired of posting other people’s great works of art here. You can go ooh and awww over at their sites.
After a really nice visit at my other home (Bethany’s) we came back here for some kind of drinkfest blogger meet up. I don’t usually go to these events because I’m not much of a drinker and I hate trying to have a conversation while yelling. But Sarah was there and they sort of dared me into going. I’m so glad I did. It wasn’t that big of a crowd and I clicked right away. I love it when that happens.
Now I have a bunch of new blogs I have to keep up on. $#@#%@!!
You know what else makes me super happy this weekend? Bug is officially potty-trained. Woooooo Hoooo!
