Sunburst

It is an absolutely beautiful day out. Maybe we will go for a walk in the arboretum.

I am having loose thoughts about a Sunday lunch in the near future. It would be fairly casual. Think quiche, fruit, and bitter remarks.
Give me your thoughts folks. Would you attend something like that?

I need to go and make tea for Mr. Jenner, Miss Kitty and our other guest Miss Heather.
Maybe crumpets too.

Sunday evening report

Well then.
I think lightprincess89 had a lovely weekend here at Chez Anglo-America. We ate at Ivars; where all diners agreed that the staff must put a lot of opium in their clam chowder because it is so fucking good one could eat an oil drum's worth of that stuff. I introduced her to the fine art of trying on several million pairs of shoes and then buying an expensive yet well-made pair of lovely shoes. We did some cooking together, bitched about our hair, amused old friends with horrifying stories about our brothers and we ended it all with a nice walk in the arboretum.

I also sent her home with several copies of Vogue and Jane magazine.
Because a fifteen year old girl always needs some "deep" reading. We will definitely do this again soon.

Now Mr. Jenner and I will be going to dinner with some friends. We are going out for Indian food. I will even review the place. Mr. Jenner and I admit we aren't exactly keen on Indian food. (Because let's face it there is a lot of shitty Indian food running rampant) But hey, this place is known for being really good (if a little ethically challenged at times) and I should broaden my horizons now and then.

We might even go to someone's birthday party after dinner. If we aren't too exhausted. Otherwise we may come home, climb into our pajamas and slouch on the sofa.

I must send a friend a thank you email for the lovely daffy's she gave me. They look so nice on the dining room table.

blank thoughts on me

You know the more I think about it the more I realize that I really don't want any special make-up or to have my hair really "done" on my wedding day. I like to wear make-up but I don't feel this need to look 'done' on that way. Not to sound terribly vain and act like I am the prettiest thing to come along since ponies; but I don't look that scary without make-up (maybe a little peaked at times) and I might as well look myself since that is who I am. I figure I will just comb my hair and curl it slightly on the big day and call it good. It is hair, big whoop. I figure half of the appeal of my hair is that it always looks messy and has that "just had fun" look to it. As for make-up I will put on some tinted moisturizer, some pretty, but non-obtrusive eye makeup and some tinted gloss and say I am done. I will tidy but real. That is my theme.

Even the dress I am coming up with is about comfort. I just want to be really comfortable and not hike anything up or worry that everything looks just so. I realize that if I am going to enjoy myself I can't have frou-frou distractions. No trains, no big hair-dos, no cathedral length veils. None of it.

For all my girliness (which is a bit ridiculous at times....we won't go into how many purses I own and why I need fifteen different kinds of perfume) I don't need the fluff sometimes. Maybe I will get a manicure though. It will be the one time in my life that my nails look even.

Maybe I will wear flip-flops down the aisle too.
