A Pattern of Weirdness

On Saturday, I made sure all my sewing projects were ironed and hung up nicely.  I gathered them all up in a huge garment bag and hauled them to the State Fair.  As I was checking them in, I realized I'd left the shark bag on the couch at home...  

REALLY?!!!

Oh well.  The fleece was a bit fuzzy from being loved over the winter time but I'd washed it and got all the cat hair off...  sigh.

Ok.  So I have NINE things entered this year instead of the ten that I'd hoped for...  

The free viewing of the entries and their placings are in another week so I'll take pics of my entries then.  I have to anyway, otherwise Robb won't know which ones to pick up on "take it all home" day.

I got home in time to shower and get ready for a wedding that Meri was singing in.  I didn't know the bride or her mom until a couple weeks ago but I've known the dad as he was the middle school science teacher for many many years.

Meri was pretty nervous.  She sat on a chair at the front of the church next to the piano player.  The bride's mom had me sit in a reserved seat but Meri's two friends that wanted to come along had to sit behind me.  So most of the time when Meri was smiling or mouthing things to me, she was really responding to them.

You talking to ME?!

Since it was a local wedding, we saw lots of people we knew and I even hugged a few.  That'll never happen again, I'm sure.  One was a middle school history teacher that had spearheaded the Washington DC trip that Ryan went on years ago.

She was great!  I think she retired right after Ryan went to high school.  There was a pattern of retirements when Ryan finished a grade... Clear from kindergarten.

Since we didn't think we'd know anyone, we had told the bride that we wouldn't be going to the reception, so we took off.  Robb had a fantastic pork loin in the crock pot and wow did that turn out good!

On Sunday after church, he and I went to the 10:20am showing of the new Mission Impossible movie.  Who knew the movies showed so early?!  Perfect timing!  We might have to do that again before the fall church hours start back up.  We chowed down on a huge tub of buttery/salty popcorn AND it's free refill.  Looking back now, I guess we didn't eat lunch when we got home.  So that was our lunch!  

And I'm ok with that.  However I'm sure the diet needs to start again today after 1pm as I have a lunch date.

Two more days of having Meri home.  Sigh.

It's going to be weirder than this pic.
