I have seen into the future - & it ain't pretty, people.

I had a big day yesterday.  I had 3 different functions to attend.  All were important, so cutting one out was NOT an option.  Lucky for me, the times kind of overlapped so I was able to make them all. 

First up was a graduation party in Pekin.  My friend, Amy, had Seth when we were just 17 years old.  As you can imagine-it was quite scandalous back then.  We had just finished our junior year of high school when he was born.   I remember going to see this kid when he was 1 day old in the hospital.  Gulp.

Next up was a reception for my cousins wedding in New Albany.  She had a small ceremony with only a few guests.  Here are my aunt & uncle - the brides parents. 

The bride & groom - yea it's a crappy pic.  The flash on my phone ain't perfect....

I'm always the one who wants to look at the wedding cake.  I want to see the decoration.  UHM-imagine my pleasantly surprised self when I walked up to see a tiny cake & ALL.THESE.PRETTY.CUPCAKES.  Oh, I was soooo excited to eat one...or two...

But ya know we had to go through all the 'reception' motions.  We ate (& I made sure to save room for cupcakes!), we watched the dances, we did the bouquet & garter (that took FOREVER because that stupid dj kept begging people to come up.  C'mon dude if they don't wanna come up, it's OK!!)  & we did the toasts.  And that stupid dj kept asking, "Who's ready for cake?!"  And I would answer quite loudly & entusiatically, "ME! ME!  I'M ready for cake!"

The table of family I sat with thought this was QUITE hilarious.  It became a running joke because I was getting pissed  was convinced that they would drag out all those mushy toasts so long I would have to leave before getting a cupcake.  Hmph. 

Finally they cut that stupid cake.... & the cha-cha slide started blaring on the speakers.  This is the univeral sign for cupcake time, right?  Well-NO ONE went to get cupcakes.  Seriously?  I finally had enough & decided I had waited a respectful amount of time to eat one of those inviting cupcakes.  And that's just what I did.  I marched my butt up there, got me a vanilla cupcake with a sunflower on it & sat back down.  (Then I sucked it down super fast while my family watched.  I had function #3 to leave & attend!  I thought for a split second about having someone take my pic...unfortunately there was NO time!) 

Function #3 was in Sellersburg.  It was a benefit bunco for one of my hostesses whose house burned down.  Sometimes in the jewelry biz, I meet these families who take me in as one of their own.  And this is one of those families so missing this was NOT an option. 

If you know anything about bunco, you know you switch tables.  There were like 11 tables there so it was quite interesting.  (There are 4 players to a table - you do the math.)  During one of the rounds - I sat across from this lady.  And what I saw has shaken me to my very core.  (Note-the purple lei was because she had rolled bunco...she didn't 'choose' to wear that. But I'm sure she did NOT want to give it up!)  

At first when I saw her, I thought - "oh, look at all her purple!"  Then I started to look closer.  Inside shirt was dark purple.... outter shirt light purple.  Mmmm kay.. I have purple clothes too.   

She had purple on her nails...a purple bracelet... (wow, that's a lot of purple...) & rings on every.single.finger.  Most were purple...

She had on a watch that was purple.  UHM, so?  Who doesn't?!

She had purple tinted sunglasses (that she didn't take off the whole night - and we were indoors.  psssssh...) & a purple handbag.

UHM, ok - what's wrong with a purple handbag?!

She even had on purple sandals.  Ok, this chick is just weird. 

A-HA!  I don't have purple shoes! 

Oh shit... I forgot about these.... 

OK-so maybe I have a teeny, tiny problem?  Is this what I'm destined to become?  Will B-rad be known as the guy with that weird chick with all the purple stuff?  Poor B-rad.... 

Job #1 - I'm finding a new handbag... (oh darn...)
