here’s me at randy’s before the gala:
but don’t let this glamour photo lure you into thinking that i’m all glamorous and good…because i’m VERY VERY BAD.
i have no photo of me after the gala, so i’ll have to describe me for you – big huge white t-shirt of randy’s,and over that a giant comfy sweatshirt. plus these red plaid soft and big pajama bottoms, and gym socks. i needed to be warm to play boggle, and it payed off because i SLAUGHTERED them!
but here’s the really bad part – there was a small box of pease’s valentine chocolates on the counter in the kitchen, and i opened it and ate one. and then when we were playing i ate another one and brought the box to the table and randy said THOSE VALENTINES ARE FOR BEV!
I was horrified. HORRIFIED. but it’s WAY PAST VALENTINE’S DAY, i said. I HAVEN’T GIVEN THEM TO HER YET! cried randy.
and then of course it was too late.
SUCH a bad bad person. but at least i got to eat a few more chocolates. they were delicious.
and as we played i kept laughing about what a very very horrible person i am, eating somebody else’s chocolates. i told randy i’d bake bev some cookies.
so bev, if you happen to be reading this (AND I HOPE SHE’S NOT!), i’m very very sorry and i’ll make it up to you. cookies, homemade bread, whatever you want, i’ll make it for you.
the gala benefit ballet thing was quite fun. the ballerinas performed a few numbers after we had a delicious dinner, and they were really good and samuel chester who was featured in a few of them is such a good dancer, and it was interesting to be in the small dance room because we were so close to them and could see how much panting they were doing because it’s SUCH HARD WORK. samuel chester didn’t wear a shirt in one of the numbers, where he was supposed to be a pirate, and that was a good idea, i thought, having him shirtless. you could see the very highly defined muscles in his chest and abs and i thought maybe HE should be my new boyfriend. but he’s too young and he lives in another state. but man, when he kept doing turn after turn after turn he was just so good…
abby eddy played the cello with some other guy before dinner. she always seems to be everywhere, and then afterwards she slung her cello on her back to leave. i told her what a good job she did.
i was glad i wore my gold dress because almost everybody else wore black. now, i’ve mentioned a time when i went to a super-fancy reception and everybody else was wearing black, but at that tie i wore something totally inappropriate. the gold dress was fine plus not so boring as black black black.
today is MOM’S BIRTHDAY. so we’re going to do many birthday things today.
happy birthday, mom. please tell her so if you see her.
ok then,
sunday grace.
