This was not your typical Friday.  I didn’t get much cleaning done.  It wasn’t really needed, for one thing.  The house is still relatively clean from the last party.  I’ll probably have to give it a once over before next Saturday night’s moon dance party.  But that will be for next Friday.  Today, I paid my rent, picked up a few packages at the post office. The cake topper came.  Here it is…

I haven’t gotten to the cake store yet.  Tomorrow probably.  Still waiting for folks to RSVP.

So, I got some GORGEOUS new shoes for my formal dress today.  They look just like this:

What fun you both are going to have raiding my closet!  Wow!  Cute huh?!  I needed to get them because I needed to get my dress hemmed before I leave.  I’m so short you know and I’m glad I did it with the shoes I’m going to wear.  Otherwise, I would have looked all lop-sided.  Yes, I’m going to be beautiful!  I can’t wait.

You girls constantly inspire me to be at my very best.  I want to be a good model of womanhood for you both.  I love you both so much.  There are many reasons why… Purity, I loved the way you used to slip your arm around my waist/shoulder when we’d be standing around.  Then you’d crook your head and rest it on my shoulder.  Bea, I loved how you’d trace your fingers along the tips of my nails.  You want nails too when you grow up, I know.  You’re getting there, sweetheart.  In fact, it will get here sooner than you think.  In the meantime, know that I love you, always.  Here’s Avril Lavigne singing “I Love You.”
