There's our beautiful Brenda. She was one of the greeters at Costco today and I was so happy to see her. I asked if I could take her picture for the blog and she said, "Sure!" So there she is. Brenda is not only beautiful, she gives the best hugs ever and every time I see her she makes me feel better. I hope I make her feel the same way.
I was back in town again because Hank asked if I could take him to try on his suit one more time to see if it needed anything and of course I could. I was so very impressed with the man who has helped Hank on this suit-buying journey. Absolutely professional in every way and obviously very knowledgable in the field of suit fitting for men. The shop where Hank chose to get his has been where the men of Tallahassee who want a fine, tailored suit have been going since 1950. So obviously, if you are getting your first suit at the age of forty-eight, you want to go see the guys at Nic's.
Their alterations lady was there too and she asked me, "How about your dress?"
"Funny story there," I said, and told her about my slip woes. I may end up taking it to her to see what she says. I really do not know. But I better figure something out. The wedding is a week from Saturday.
I gave Hank his pocket square and he said that it was exactly what he was thinking of. I am so happy about that.
I took Hank back home after the final fitting and then Jessie and I got together for lunch AGAIN! We really just love to talk. And, well, eat. Let's not fool ourselves. And then I went on to Costco and Publix because although yes, I had been to both of those places on Monday, we were out of certain necessary things like milk. And tomatoes. I generally buy tomatoes at Costco and I get the cherry ones because they have far more flavor year-round than the larger ones do. Today though, they had something new.
I'll give them a try.
I may have spoken too soon yesterday about feeling better as I've had a most anxious day. Not horrible, terrible, awful but enough to affect me in ways I do not enjoy. I'm still optimistic though. It's not like these meds work on a perfectly incremental schedule.
That picture on the front porch is excellent! We are 5 days out. Once it this election is done, I think we will ALL feel better
ReplyDeleteThe rare photo of lovely Brenda, she of the mermaid eye shadow. I can see why you love her so much- she is gorgeous! Yes, perhaps Hank's alteration person *could* offer some help in your slip department :-). the boys are good pumpkin carvers....and no- a Halloween party at Lily's does not sound fun to me either LOL! Yes let us breathe and be calm for another week (at least) is what I keep telling myself. Hope I'm not putting foot into mouth saying that phrase.....but.....we all know who the expert at foot in mouth is.....and it ain't me!

The ‘Lovely Brenda’ truly is. You make friends wherever you go which is a wonderful trait to have, Ms. Moon.
ReplyDeleteAnxiety is high here, too. No crying, yet, though.I mentioned a trip to Canada if the rapist/traitor/racist/conman don manages to get back into office. Frankly, i think a stroke would be too good for him. I hope Hanks wedding is a nice distraction from the trump shit show.
Brenda makes me smile. She's got great energy and her costume is topnotch.
ReplyDeleteJessie and her boys did a nice job on the pumpkins.
Halloween is an exciting time for kids and when you add the sugar high everything is super charged. It's all in good fun. I will have 5 neighbor children for Halloween treats.
Hank's suit will be perfect and customized especially for him. That's pretty ideal. Now I am wondering what the alteration expert advises on your dress/slip. This might provide another alternative to consider.
Those are some mighty fine punkins! It's after eight now, and dark, so I bet there are some fine trick or treaters inventorying their hauls now.
ReplyDeleteI've bought those same tomatoes here in Ontario CANADA! They were very flavourful for store bought tomatoes. Eat them up fast though. No trick or treaters here at my place in the "frozen north". It's 75 degrees and bucketing down rain for goodness sake.
ReplyDeleteI always get the heirlooms in the off season. No point in eating a round red thing that tastes nothing like a tomato.
ReplyDeleteI would be getting the slip adjusted if it was me. If something annoyed me in the first place, then someone else tried to convince me that it should stay as it is, I know 100% that on the day of the wedding I would be hating the slip and it would wreck my day. My thoughts only. Marie, Melbourne, Australia
ReplyDeleteThe boys pumpkins turned out very nice and Sophie is adorable. Brenda is indeed beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI am in total agreement with Marie. I think you might regret not getting the slip altered!
ReplyDeleteWe had a successful day of trick-or-treating and my grandsons enjoyed it very much and I did too! This was their first time trick-or-treating and they were so surprised over how much candy and treats people gave them. The buckets were overflowing and we had to start filling our pockets before we headed home.
ReplyDeleteThe wedding will be here soon and what a joyous day it will be. I think many people are VERY stressed out right now because of the election. Hope you have a nice Friday and a happy weekend! xxoo
That pumpkin in front is a masterpiece!
ReplyDeleteThose two guys are so gorgeous, as are all your grandchildren. I'm glad Halloween is over, I don't like it.
ReplyDeleteJust hang in there regarding the election. It's going one way or the other. You can't change things.
What sort of fish does Mr Moon catch in the lake?
I love fresh fish of any kind.
This waiting feels awful and I'm not even American. We do have our own nutjob right here in Alberta though. Fuck I'm so tired of fundamentalist shit, trying to forced everyone else to live like them. You do you is what my friend at work would say.
ReplyDeleteJack had a great time trick or treating but was home by 7pm on the dot. He was tired and wanted to go to bed. What kid does that?
I think carving pumpkins was a good distraction from the chaos everywhere. Breathe!
ReplyDeleteBrenda is beautiful as usual! August's face really captures the disgusting feeling of a pumpkin's inner slime. I like Levon's pumpkin, but I'm glad you explained it. :)
ReplyDeleteSo much vibrant life in this post. I think so many of us are struggling with an undercurrent of anxiety right now. It permeates the very air. But I love that you keep the good in sight too. One week to Hank and Rachel are wed! Goosebumps!
