Today is THE day! Proposal happening around noon. I'm so excited and so happy no more secret surprises! Hubby and I are "talking" on eggshells not wanting to accidentally say something that will be a clue to anyone.
The weather is still yucky but should clear up this afternoon. The last 2 Saturdays have been a total wash weather wise - pouring rain all day kind of thing. Yesterday was supposed to be the yuckiest of the weekend, but it's still gross this morning.
My outfit drama is REAL, folks. I have 2 choices (green dress or black pant jumper). Both have issues.
The green dress is a sweat concern. I'll be excited and possibly pit-out the longer sleeves - that's a lovely look. And SHOES!! I can't find ones comfortable that go with the dress. I walk like a beast in heels - even after watching youtube on how-to-walk-in-heels. On the plus side, it's a festive holiday dress - very fun. I have a vintage silver clutch to carry and that makes me smile - I love old stuff with a history.
The black pant jumper requires some serious control garments because the belly part shows everything (which is odd since it's not tight). I also can't zip or unzip it all the way myself. I need a bathroom partner. A bathroom stranger is fine, but what if the bathroom is empty?!?! On the plus side, shoes are easy and no sweat issue. I bought a clutch which will be fine or I can use the silver vintage one.
Choices, choices. Neither of which makes me comfortable. This morning the black outfit has a narrow advantage because of the sweat thing. The more I'm nervous about sweating ... you know the rest ... sweat will happen.
This is when I wonder if I was suppose to be a boy. Then I remember I hate sports, so probably I'm just a lame duck girly-girl hahahaha.
Pictures to come. It's a beautiful day (even if my outfit hates me hahaha).
About last night ....
Dinner and a comfortable outfit (which was too casual for tonight - believe me, that crossed my mind to switch outfits).
Steak, tons of side dishes, red wine and it was all delicious.
I got my hair done and I liked it so much, I'm doing it again today. What the heck - it wasn't too fancy and it held up well in the weather. This was the first time I had an updo and it was so interesting to see how much work goes into making it look like it was casually put together. I could NEVER do it myself - not even close. A hair monster is born -- I'm addicted already LOL!

I have a seriously crazy, crazy story to tell, but it needs to wait for another day (next week). Turns out Jennifer is a piece of work. Stay tuned ... it was eye opening and a little scary.
I'm so excited for today and I'm so excited to have this weekend finished. It was a lot of planning and executing and emotion. No more outfit planning, drives in the city, worrying about this and that, time sensitive to-do lists. Christmas will feel like a breath of fresh air. Next week is cookie baking, a holiday concert (have I mentioned I love Christmas music!!), wrapping and final shopping.
I feel like my Christmas motto of All is Calm and All is Bright needs some work hahahaha. I'm trying. Does that count?
P.S. my bug bite thing is still on my forehead, but it's not getting bigger. I'm "safe" for tonight's dinner.
Today is the beginning of gaining a daughter-in-law! We are thrilled and proud and happy. That's all that matters (that and my outfit, of course LOL). Later gators.
