I Have The Best Sister Ever . . . But She's TOTALLY FIRED!!!

Oh. My. Goodness.



Oh. My. Goodness!!!!!




Oh. My. Goodness!!!!!!!!!!!




So, my friend asked me to come round to help her make her daughter's dress.

THERE WAS NO DRESS!

I got there, and my friend was off "dropping her son off at rugby." Uhhh huh. Well, she was, but that's not the whole story. She pulls into the drive and comes into the house and asks me to roll out the pizza dough, before we got started on the dress. Yep. Sure. Not a problem. I did that, and then she took me into the dining room and said, "Here's the dress!!!" Ummm..... there was no dress. Her daughter was standing there, with a camera. I'm looking at her daughter thinking....... something is clearly up. What's the punchline? What am I missing. And then, my gaze shifted, two inches to the left.






TO MY SISTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





The punk! she'd arranged to fly to England for my BIRTHDAY next week!!!! Rotten thing!!!! I jumped and screamed and couldn't speak, hugged my friend, who said .... "You shouldn't be hugging me, you should be hugging HER!" Hugged my sister, and burst into tears. Lois said, "See? I TOLD you she'd cry!!!!"

She's here for a whole WEEK! Yeay!!!!!!

Surprise!

Couple of surprises happened this week.

One: Whilst Steve was out of town on a business trip, Lois and I had planned to clear out the spare bedroom/sewing room in Lois' house, and get it all organised. But once we'd accomplished the clearing, we though . . . wouldn't it make more sense to paint it now rather than having to do this all over again later? So we went down to Lowes and bought a bunch of white paint, and one tin of bright green paint. So, one wall is green, and the others are all white. Looks fabulous (photos coming. I'm sorry I've been such a slacker!) Steve knew nothing about it. Hee hee hee. But he loves it, or at least claims to. Good thing, too.

Two: I went dancing this weekend. (No, that's not the surprise.) Friday at the Golden Skillet. It was good fun, as expected. I wore that cute blue dress again (don't worry, photos are coming. I promise!!) which must have worked its magic, because I got asked out on a date! Yes! Me on a real date! Saturday! And it was fun!! Who knew? (Ok, all you married people, obviously. But hey, how come no one ever told me dating was fun?!? I mean, share the love! Literally!) Ok, that's the surprise. And the other half? He asked me out for a second date.
