So long, farewell...

Dearest you,


(Tuesday)
Today I coaxed Gen into driving me to Jo-Anns in Rivergate to find several last items I needed for a sewing project...that's due the end of this week. :/ Somebody's procrastinating again... Anyways, I was designated Navigator, and with the help of Prudence, (haha, you thought I was referring to the characteristic :P Prudence is our GPS) we arrived--and left--safely. We took a couple wrong "turns", but were none worse for wear. Success!

Then we went to Cici's for lunch. Did you know that this pizza place is the most popular diner for police men? Yeaah, Gen and I were surrounded by men in blue uniforms...liiiitttle weird. But semi-comforting at the same time. You know, Gen and I could meander around the buffet without fear of our purses being stolen from the booths :P

Following our lunch with like ten cops, we went to Walmart, where this really old lady glared evilly at us (and possibly cussed--our windows were fortunately rolled up :) because we were driving in the parking lot where she wanted to walk. And then it started raining, a lot, and we had to run back to the car. I was wearing flip-flops with absolutely no whatever-those-groovy-bump-things-are on them. And so I chose the smart route--I removed my shoes and decided to run across the parking lot in the rain looking like a barefoot idiot rather than slip in a puddle and look like a bigger idiot. Smart choice? Smart choice.

As Gen was driving home on our street, she cautioned me about puddles on the road. "They may look shallow and harmless, but they're really out to get you." Ok, Gen, whatever you say :D

(Sunday)
This week I have been sewing like nuts. I had a temporary best friend for the week--Ruby. She's a bright red seam ripper. Yep. :D And then there's Miranda, a female mannequin. She was a lifesaver, particularly for Gen, who no longer had to be my model and risk injury by pins. I finally finished the prom dress for the contest, took pictures of it while I modeled, and submitted them. Now to cross my fingers until the finalists are announced :)

Tomorrow morning I leave for a week-long music camp. Yes, it sounds nerdy, but what can I say? Hours and hours of musical theatre, theory, ensemble groups, choir, concerts, and a jam-packed, deafening mess hall sounds like loads of fun, doesn't it? :P Really, it is fun :)
Oh, and by the way, all electronics are banned, including (but not limited to) cell phones, music players, and computers. So basically we have no contact with the outside world. I'll let you know how I survive next week :D

Farewell until I return!

Praise God for designs!

Con amore,
Sophie
