It’s been a very difficult week. I wish I could talk about it. Something about hashing things out here seems to make it better or at least, put it in perspective. But I can’t, so I won’t. I really resent it, though.
Tomorrow morning, I’m getting on a plane and heading off to Boston for a few days. The lovely woman who held my hair while I gagged and heaved and wished for death in a Moroccan backpackers’ hostel, who zipped around the tip tops of the Costa Rican jungle with me, and who taught me the meaning of Stupid & Fancy is getting married. I cannot wait.
The expected high in Boston is a balmy 37 degrees. I love her just that much.
One of the beautiful things about this wedding is that Jen is a New York friend, getting hitched in her hometown of Boston – which, happily, is also one of my old hometowns. This visit will be like the winner-winner-chicken-dinner of visits, lacking only a handful of beloved friends and the family element to make it perfect.
Speaking of Stupid & Fancy, on the advice of the Dork Lord, I’ll pulling out all the stops and wearing a really for real gown to this wedding. It kills me to see it collecting dust in my closet, and truly, there are not many Black Tie Optional events in my life, so I’m taking advantage of this one. Oh, crinoline, the twirling that will take place! Now, I had to up the Spanx quotient to fit into said gown, but Shhh. Let’s not ruin this fun with the truth.
Sorry 1) that you’ve had a rough week and 2) that you can’t blog about it. I find that I resent not being able to air all my dirty laundry on the QLC as well, because it IS very cathartic and the people that exist in this blogosphere are extremely kind and compassionate people who offer endless support.
So I offer support anyway, and am hoping that things improve for you and/or you’re able to forget whatever is going on and have a wonderful time at the wedding!
Wow.
A trip!
True friends and family!
Hundreds of laughs!
A beautiful gown and your man by your side!
LOVELY FISH! ENJOY!
PS: Stay warm and if possible, would you consider sharing a pic of yourselves all dressed up?
Safe travels.
Been a crap-week for me too, must be something with the planets
Happy to hear you’ll be in the neighborhood! With a little luck, our lovely 45-degree weather from today will carry over for you & the happy couple. At the very least, there is no precipitation in the forecast.
Hope you have a fantastic weekend.
Me again….
(I gotta add to the “crap-week syndrom” here…)
Mercury was Retrograde since Christmas and/or Dec 26th. It ended today with the solar eclipse. Things will be turning around now for the better… for all of us.
I’m so jealous that you’ve lived in BOTH Nyc and Boston.. two of my favorite places.. I’ve lived in Chicago (another favorite) and would do just about anything to have a chance to live in Nyc or Boston.. A girl can dream.
And sorry you can’t talk about whatever’s troubling you! Hopefully a trip away with friends will help somewhat.. Have a fabulous time at the wedding!
It was 20 with a windchill of 9 here on Monday so we’re pretty psyched about the 37!
I love my jeans and hoodies (hence the Sox sweatshirt I wore today), but it’s definitely fun to get all gussied up (yeah, I said it) once in a while! Have fun!
Are you mad, woman? If you’re going to crinoline, Spanx is *not* optional!
Is this gown light yellow? Or was that just a Halloween costume one year? Have fun!
Oh, yes- I second CaliGal- post another fancy pants picture of you all gussied up if you feel comfortable with it! And will your honey be going, too? (Is this another meeting-of-the-worlds?)
Also, please explain the meaning of “Stupid & Fancy”. Sounds like a really useful categorization.
Have a great time!
Hope your week gets better!
Any time to do meet and greet while you are in Boston?!
