Triple Dots Galore. REALLY?...

I actually got to spend some time with Meri this weekend!  I KNOW!!!!  

The days are a blur so I'm not sure if I had her try on the prom dress on Friday night or Saturday morning...  I'm thinking Friday before she dashed off to see some friends who are more important than us or nap on the couch.

On Saturday, after a couple garbage runs, because... free weekends are rare...  and my van stinks now...  she and I worked together on a special project for about five Malcolm in the Middle episodes.  

Then she ran off with some friends to see the Sing-a-long version of Beauty & the Beast, while I stayed home and sewed in a zipper into her prom dress.  With any luck, at least one of her hems will be done today.  The lace will require some special touches...  So that waits for another day when I have a clearer head.

On Saturday night, she and a friend came back to the house BRIEFLY to eat a little something then she, friend and myself went to the local college's annual style show.  While it was interesting and the sewing friends we went with were fun, it wasn't as WOW as in previous years.  If the future is as bleak as the guest designers designed for, we're in trouble...  The student's designs were intriguing though.  Not as many gowns this year.  bummer.  But there were several cute little timid kids walking the runway, so that was cool.

I don't have the selfie that she took of us on Saturday yet... 

so here is the one from last year.

updated: HERE it is!

The girls and I ditched just before the awards because it was getting late and my hands hurt from clapping.  Since Meri was driving, it was good to beat the mad rush and traffic jams at the VERY end when EVERYONE came out to their cars.

So we hit up a local joint for their desserts menu, then headed home.  

It sucks to be relegated to the back seat, but you know... priorities...  

AND how many Hamilton tunes did we listen to??...  a lot...

Now I know why I like to be the driver...

80's channel or NOTHING BABY!!!

AND I forgot my camera sitting next to the door when we left!  Meri took a few pics, posted them on some site that I'm not on, for me.  So that was nice...

I was planning on working more on Meri's dress on Sunday and I guess I did for about 30 minutes Sunday evening.  The inside handwork is 99% done.  I'll finish the rest before the fair.

I mostly lounged around Sunday afternoon but did a little housework and moved some tires into the garage.  Oh yeah, I helped Meri clean out her car and trunk too.  That may have been Friday.

Getting paged at 1:30am this morning was lousy too...  Because then I couldn't get back to sleep.  Hot flashes suck...  And just when I thought I COULD get back to sleep, Leon came in whispering loudly for a cup of milk...  and for me to tuck him back in...  The last time I remember looking at the clock was around 3:30.  So when the alarm woke me up at 6, I reset it for 7.

It's going to be a long day...
